Does anyone know how much bankroll I would need in order to start playing £2 £5 cash regularly
Online atm because of lockdown2/5 online or live?
online I would want around 30-40BI's and you can go up or down from there depending on how risk adverse you are. If you are for sure a winner in the games, you could likely go as low as 15bi's , but must be able to go down in stakes if you lose a few bi's
There is no right or wrong answer to this generally though whatever money I put on a poker site is usually disposable and I play what I like as plenty of roll offline in reserve.Does anyone know how much bankroll I would need in order to start playing £2 £5 cash regularly
I want to play higher stakes because I think the game play in micro is pretty poor
I meant that at low stakes there are loads of fish who get to the river and hit their 1 time without even knowing how and also at that level don't understand position and equity and maybe I'm over thinking it and that's why I'm not winning as muchWhy does poor play bother you? I love bad players, because they allow me to win. Also do you have a live poker background or any previous experience? Online games for 500$ are extremely tough, and it will take years of practice and study before you can even hope to just break even. Which lead me on to the next point, which is, that to even have a bankroll you must be a winning player. Otherwise you have a budget, which is something totally different.
With this out of way 20 x the full buyin is very aggressive bankroll management, 30 x is agressive, 50 x is conservative and 100 x is very conservative and mostly for professional players, who want to avoid moving down. In these coronavirus days games are pretty soft, so I think, its ok to skip the very lowest stakes. But I would not start any higher than 25NL. And if you only have 300$, anything above 10NL will be pure gambling.

It is delusional to think, you can beat good players, if you can not beat the worst players in the game. This is about ego and a lack of patience, and unless you learn to handle these mental issues, you will never have success in poker. Even in high stakes games the money comes from bad recreational players. They are just rich recreational players like for instance chinese businessmen playing in Macao.
