My advice here is to watch the table for a couple of orbits before sitting down. You can see the table dynamics a bit before sitting to play. If you struggle with a certain style of play you may want to look into strategies to counter problematic styles.

For me there is 5 rules :

Play the Player
Try to Categorize Opponents
Take a Long-Term Approach
Don’t Be Afraid to Rebuy
Don’t Go Broke

Can you please tell me: what should be the bankroll in cash games?

 

[Rubycon]

I’m conservate at BRM. At NLHE I had at least 75 buy ins. Now playing PLO I go by 100 buy ins, since the hands run closer and the volatility is higher.
