hi guys
right, ive just started playing poker properly online, its been about a week and a half now...before that i was making millions on zynga lol...anyway i opened an account at pokerstars and deposited 10 quid ($15)...my balance is now $50, although i was upto $100 a few days ago, but got too big for my boots and bought in 2 $15 sit n go's and finished on the bubble twice....then in my tilted state of mind i bought in for $20 at $1/2 nl.....anyway.....when i first deposited i bought in for 2c/4c limit holdem, and won about $5...taking me up to $20...i then went for 10c/20c and won another $10.......when i got to $30 i went up to 25/50c limit...i have been at this level ever since and enjoy it....
although i know what im doing is wrong and far too risky...i have self belief that i can gradually win enough so that i am at that level comfortably before hopefully moving up......in the meantime im going to try and learn all about the game, theory and all....theres so much stuff to learn and all the stuff that doesnt even involve the cards themselves...i.e rakeback, huds, bankroll management etc...the list goes on....my tiny little mind cant take it all in lol....
so my question is, could someone explain bankroll management to me please, and how much i need at the 25/50c limit level and how many big blinds i need for each session...and when i know when to drop down or move up.....is it correct that i would need $60 to compete at 10c/20... i have no problem that starting at that level and working my way up to 25/50 if thats what i need to do....anyway thanks for reading, i know its probably a stupid question which you've heard a million times before, but any personal answer to this situation would be great...nice one thanks
