The best bankroll value to start at Poker.

[Ronaldo7]

What starting to play means?? I mean if you are begginer (not a good player) bigger br and playing with better players isn't to clever... so 50$ is ok to play micros and learn...

 

[MarineCJ]

All Depends at what limits you play, How many tables I would say the minimum is 20 buy-ins Per table you play at the same time. Ideally you want 40-50 buy-ins per table.

With that being said you need a plan with stop losses or the starting bankroll doesn't mean anything. You also need to be honest with yourself with how you are playing. Cant be afraid to stop if not playing your A game.

Like many others, I have never made a deposit. I play freerolls and have parlayed $2 into $150.....then lost it all. I don't deposit because I only play for fun and M13A13 is right about the level of play at the micro stakes. Too many chasers who start with garbage and beat your straight by getting 4 suited cards on the table to win with the deuce. Playing on computer also has its problems with disconnection....and yes, I have had my computer crash with the nuts before I could bet....also had pocket aces cracked by disconnection. This is why I do not deposit online, but prefer to save my $US for vacations to places with a live casino (like Vegas, Niagara Falls or Southern Florida).

The value of bankroll is just as important to start with in poker as it is in-game knowledge.
Through the bankroll it is possible to exert horizons in the game and still plan as far as it can and should arrive.
Most people in fear start poker with a $ 20 to $ 50 bankroll on their first deposit, in my opinion the most correct amount for them to win money in poker would be around $ 200 $ 500, that would be the amount lower than a bankroll of who wants to profit from poker must have.
There are people who wish to become professional in poker so the correct value of a bankroll in my opinion is between $ 1,000 and $ 5,000, under these conditions the game will be played at tables with more conscious players.
The values ​​influence with certainty the game, the smaller the buy in, the worse the players that bet with anything, do not follow the standard of the game and neither has, and the higher the value of buy in, the players are more professional.

This is SEVERELY incorrect. First off if you are a losing player. Which most players are. Then it doesn't matter what you start your "bankroll" with it will go to 0 every time. You start with 20-50 like you said as a losing player you will be at 0 possibly by the end of the day. If you deposit 200-500 like you said as a losing player maybe this will last you a week but you will still lose it.

There is no point in calling the money you use to play poker you "Bankroll" unless you are a PROFITABLE player. Not oh I won the local casino tournament or I'm the best player in my free roll league type of win, but tracked all results over years time, and 50K+ hands have a decent win-rate. If this is not you then don't call it a bankroll, call it a poker budget. This way you can take shots at tournaments and cash game out of your range because you have budgeted for more money say once a week once a month whatever you can afford. Or just play free rolls until you learn enough to become profitable.

And if you think you can be a professional with a 1K-5K bankroll have fun living on the streets. To even consider playing professionally you should have 6 months of full living expenses saved (ALL BILLS) On average this would be about 12000. Then IF you have proven to be profitable at the limits you are trying to play which at min. would be 2/5 (some say 1/3 but I disagree) you would need a bankroll of at min. 50k comfortably around 100K. Again you would have to be a winning player and have the edge plus have this money only for poker. You will obviously have your name out their and be working with staking sites so this will help, but these would be the min. requirements to play professionally.

 

[M13A13]

Your power is the size of your expectations, if you think big and act like a big, big person you will be. It is no use to be afraid and wait for the money to fall from the sky and to think that in any day it will win a great prize without being compromised. It is recommended that anyone wishing to start poker should have another profession to finance their own game. Now the matter of winning or losing is part of poker and the real player is not afraid of losing.

Look at your entertainment money...which is better....a burger or a poker game?
If you choose poker then you can't eat unless you don't lose.

Moral of the story, don't lose regardless of what you play but you have to eat.

 

[gerrrr]

The best thing to start the sun are the freerolls, when you feel you have a good level you can deposit a minimum Bankroll to test your results.

 

[infonazar]

I started with $ 20.
In my opinion, this amount is enough to start.
In addition, you can always play freerolls and get a good experience.

 

[AKbadboyAK]

I also think correct each game level has its types of players as the highest value the toughest field more with players who know how to play the game the lower limits now many players clueless and software always gives that power to them always pull the pot and many do not know how sad won the chips.

for beginners is 50 $ to start....and off course for advanced players....probably no limit

 

[neverbluff]

Unless the $1000 doesn't matter to you, I wouldn't start at those stakes. At the very least, play some smaller stakes first and get your feet wet. You don't need to make crazy bluffs to win at these smaller stakes. You just need to play smart, fundamental poker. From there, you can learn when to add in a bluff every once and a while.

 

[awkplayer]

Firstly, I think you should figure out how comfortable you are if you're in a losing streak. For example, I would not want to lose 10% of my bankroll in a week, but for some other guys this is normal. Soon the bankroll management of each one differs a lot.

 

[Aristodemus_]

Freerolls may not be the highest standard of poker but it's a good platform to learn and improve in. You will read the game better and best of all it is completely risk free. You cash in a few and you graduate to micro stakes and continue to rise.
I can afford to make a large deposit if I want but I would rather feel like it has been earned from the bottom up. Each to their own.

 

[RennMeister]

This is all about money

I never made a deposit, I played only freerols, now my bankroll is 250$. In my opinion, for the beginning will be enough 50$.

Where do you play? And why do you think you are one of their favorites?

 

[Alpha325]

That’s cool to have a bankroll from free rolls alone

 

[makisaa]

You can start with a small bankroll and make it bigger. Or you can play based to the freerolls. In both cases you can rise a nice bankroll and go for more difficult games, without need to put a big amount. Patience is very valuable for developing a good bankroll.

Yeah. There is and should be a wide range of opinions on this topic. Everyone has different motivations, and expenses in life. I feel you should have a bankroll that is enough to play comfortably without spending your rent money etc. The goal is to be profitable while having fun. It's very stressful to play while you are thinking about what kind of jam you will be in if you lose. Trust me lol. Take care

 

[dcproster]

50 buy-ins cash.200 buy-ins MTT.

 

[M13A13]

Poker can also be considered as an investment or opening a venture. For this you have to know how to play the game and have good metallity to play.
In these conditions the bigger the bankroll, the greater the gains, but this is for who plays very well the poker and knows all the techniques and applies them.

 

[BoddJonar]

Didn't quite read all posts in this thread, but imo the biggest thing with your BR should be that it is separated from your normal economy. Meaning that you should just see the money as a tool and not as actual cash.
Of course an adequate size compared to stakes helps alot, but it is still important to remember that your BR is means to an end.

If you set up rules and goals and follow them somewhat strictly, maintaining and nursing a BR is alot easier than if you are playing with your "own" money.

Last tip I have is to not be greedy. If you just lost 10$ at say 2NL, don't move up to 10NL with the intention of breaking even with a double up. Stay consistent.

Sorry if this has been posted already.

I think a banckroll of 50 or 100 dollars and enough to start playing but the monetary success of a poker player depends primarily on two factors:

Of his skills: Does he play well? What is the size of its edge over its opponents at a given limit? This term must be considered in a general way and also implies certain aspects external to the game like the selection of the table and self-management from a psychological point of view.

The limit played: What limits can he play? The higher he plays, the higher his earnings curve may be, and therefore, the higher his absolute gains, if his earnings curve is positive.

The start with $ 50 is quite optimal. Under certain conditions, starting with a higher capital would generate a very slight advantage. You gain a small advantage by investing a lot more.

 

[fernandovr]

depends on the type of tournament you want to play, $ 5 tournament a bankroll of $ 50 is little (10% of the bankroll), but tournaments of 0.50 becomes comfortable.

 

[roger perkins]

the size of the bankroll depends on the limits you will be playing and the skill level you are at. Making a large deposit and playing at a level above your skill level will just let you lose money faster. If you are at a 1/2 skill level a couple hundred is ok. If you have 1000 to put in dont think that means you can jump into a 5/10 game. But you should only deposit the amount you can afford to lose.

 

[joaocm2018]

100$ is a good start

 

[MolonAA]

in my opinion $ 50 you start with a buy-in of 0.50 cents, already it fits in the tip of 100x buy-in, if you study and have a solid game will build bankroll with initial $ 50, if you break means that is not beating the buyin limit you are playing.
