Building bankroll vs. Maintaining bankroll which is harder?

[Chebchoub]

Respecting the rules of the bankroll is one of the most important strategies that must be implemented seriously. For example, if you want to deposit an amount into a poker account that does not exceed 10% of your salary or monthly income, This is the way that will make you calm and more focused in the game, this way you can win some money, and if you lose, know that you will not lose all your money quickly, and if you lose your money, you should not deposit any money until the beginning of the month. Also, if you want to play in any type of poker "tournament’s , cash, or sit&go" don't exceed 10% buy-in of what you have on the bankroll, and know that if the buy-in goes up, the level of players will go up too. good luck

So many poker players I've spoken with climbed too high too fast and lost their bankroll.

Keeping a common bankroll is always more difficult than creating it in one day.

Each player has his own situation and vision. Personally to me,
the hardest part is finding time to play poker.
Good luck.

I'm newer to poker, so I'm not really sure. I'll say maintaining the bankroll is tougher because many players go broke eventually (variance is a very real danger) and because I've been satisfied with my poker bankroll building ability

Building bankroll vs. Maintaining bankroll which is harder?
Building a bankroll is more difficult because it takes patience, a lot of patience, especially when you are a beginner.

If you were able to build a bankroll, then, as a rule, you play well, then how can you lose everything?
And / or in any case, you need to follow your plan (how many buy-ins do you need and what buy-ins do you play in tournaments, etc.)

 

[NightStalker]

I think is maintain your bankroll when you are trying to level up your tournament entries.

 

[alabos]

i think both is harder.......poker each day change sometimes that going well and after its horrible.....

I think it is harder to maintain my bankroll than it was to build it.

At 888 using freerolls and promotions I regularly build a roll to play $1-5 tournaments. Build my roll up to about $200 and lose it only to start again. I keep getting close but always seem to lose the important all ins to someone with 83o.

Yeah that sucks just try to be disciplined as possible.

 

[pavel1111111]

maintaining of course , eventually you will have to deal with a big lose , it depends on you how big it is

The hardest thing is to keep your bankroll in the right and stable state, unless, of course, you make regular cashouts.

 

[sulzerrt]

For me personally harder to keep bankroll rather building it.

 

[elchonga]

Absolutely in my case, it is much more difficult to maintain than to build

 

[poxerator78]

I can’t save the bank, it’s a big problem for me, I don’t adhere to banking management, I always draw on large limits and eventually drain my bankroll in 2-3 days, but accumulate a bankroll in about a few weeks, sometimes I spend a month on it, and I can drain it in a day, so now I switched to sing and go tournaments, 1 dollar each // out of 20 bucks I managed to score 50, now you can play the tournament for 1 buck

 

[TotalMindegy]

personally, maintaining the bankroll.

if it is about tourney, cg can't handle the weeks long bad-beat series, nowadays even the several days long ones.

a long while mostly play sngs, less disappointment, less losing days, + if i stuck in that, dont take "adventures" in tourney, cg, it is a constant small grow with small swings, almost impossible to lose the bankroll, if i do constantly everything following my own rules.

other side, no option to win relatively big, like in a tourney.

building bankroll from zero or very small amount (20-50 bucks) was always easier for me from tourneys, than keep, constantly build further a 1k+ bankroll.

I think you can start from 0 to sky. So. if you start from 600 you'll going to go faster. The thing is to know and have a good training to never go back at your starting point. That's the difficult part.
Some day I heard a mathematician physicist. She said. If you can do your possibilities to win 2 times between 3 opportunities. You will go upwards definitely. No matter how many times you lose. You'll win 2/3 against 1/3. Even if you don't notice.

I'm curious to what everybody's answer is and what poll results are when it comes to building a bankroll vs maintaining. I been practicing poker with fake money apps and I've built millions and now I'm trying to do this in the real life realm of things. If I had to pick it would definitely be building a bankroll from scratch. I think building a roll from scratch is much harder because you are much closer to running out of money compared to having so much room for error with lots of money. Also on free fake money apps everyday at midnight you're rewarded money to keep playing over and over whereas in real life you need to either deposit money from your paycheck, credit card, or past time freerolls and really really put in work of your own money to grow a bankroll.

However you can make an argument that when you build your bankroll to mid to high roller stakes into the 6 figures and beyond, trouble can come your way such as temptations, personal addictions, reckless behavior.


What do y'all think?

 

[gigantbil]

It's hard for me to keep the pot, because when you have a big pot you make ridiculous calls in the hope of hitting a card

 

[offshore11000]

I think building the bankroll from scratch is certainly much more difficult, but both possibilities exist, with dedication is possible. I think the basic difference is the time it takes to build each situation lol

 

[Risto234]

Getting rid of your bankroll is the hardest thing ...

 

[hilary antonik filho]

In my opinion, building a bankroll is more difficult, especially when you start from scratch, playing only Freeroll, it is easy for you to buy chips to play, in this way you have already formed your Bankroll, now in both, manage your chips and those won through the Freeroll or buying, it's like when you go shopping, and you need to manage your money to return home or have money to support yourself during the week, knowing, it will be easier

 

[olfabiolo]

The hardest thing for me is keeping it because I've done it several times but I've never been able to keep it because even when I bank I want to play at higher levels. That must be why I can't keep up.

Yup that's the trick
