wow. these comments are lit. lol. when i play live i bring 1k bb. so if i'm going to play 2/5 i got 5k on me. thats 5 bullets of 200bb each (which is the most we can buy in for in my state) that's me though, some people deal with variance better than others but when i lose 5 big bullets i get salty and play bad. up until then i'll eat your lunch

When you decide to hit the poker room how much of your bankroll do you take for the day?
I take as little money as possible in cash games. Reason being, I someone goes all in, and I need to call, and lose, it will not cost me too much.

I mostly play freerolls. Minimum deposit in cash games. This does not prevent you from enjoying the game. And have a good time.

ve depend on the goal. If you play for fun, $2 is enough. But if you play to win some money, then less than $100 hardly makes sense.

10 percent and I play calmly without thinking if I lose there will be nothing to worry about because people spend this money every day on vodka or cigarettes and I don’t smoke or drink so I can spend it on my favorite game 10 percent

I'm too afraid of cash games and I don't enjoy them ... no matter how many % of my bankroll I start with, at the end of the session I end up almost always with less.

I think that you should ideally have a20 buy-ins before you play a cash game. This is to offset all of the variances. I never buy-in for less than 100 BBs in a $1-$2 cash game, but who has $4K lying around? When you consider the ranges these people play with, I'm not all that worried about it.

I try to start with the minimum bet.If this is the cash of the game, then $0.80.I'll disperse, see how the cards go and then you can increase the bine.

I've only participated in live freeroll tournaments, as I hadn't played live in a long time, so I decided to adapt to the tournaments live there first.
But I want to play at least one tournament with a registration fee next month.

I play with the maximum buy in for the table but that’s all I take with me. So definitely no too ups on the night

I always bring enough money for two or three maximum buy ins for the cash games (no limit). Like for $1/$2, where the max buy in is $200. I bring $500 or $600. Just be careful not to lose it all!
