The question is primarily about your discipline. Once you decide to be a disciplined player, all your bankroll management problems will take care of themselves.My biggest mistake is that. I want to improve that, so please give me some good advise!
Hi, labatho! By my private opinion, the Best Teacher by Bankroll management in Poker, I think, this is only own experience...My biggest mistake is that. I want to improve that, so please give me some good advise!
Bankroll Management is different for everybody, The secret to it is no Secret, You have to find what works for You and stick to it religiously, Playing the percentage idea that you should not buy-in to any game your Bankroll cannot afford is very important to stop yourself going Broke!My biggest mistake is that. I want to improve that, so please give me some good advise!
Couldn't have put it better myself.First of all as some have already hinted at, its not possible to have a poker bankroll, unless you are a winning player. If you are a losing player in the games, you play, you can only have a budget, and if you continue playing long enough, the expected result is a 100% loss. Just as it is in any casino game, where only the house can win in the long run.
I checked your PokerStars results on Sharkscope, and at least there you are a losing player over 4.515 games, although the majority of them are freerolls. Its true, that you have played some expensive tournaments, you were not bankrolled for, like a $109 and a $82 game. But even without these losses there is no indication, that you are winning in anything other than freerolls.
So what you need is not only to implement bankroll management but also to study, improve and then build a track record. And bankroll management is not so complicated, that you need a book about it. You can just use something simple like the 100 BI rule, which mean, you deposit $100 to play $1 games etc. The rest is a matter of discipline and work ethics, and this is also not something, you can learn by reading a book.
Are you making this statement with a great knowledge and understanding of bankroll management? Or do you disbelieve without expertise?Bankroll management is a nonsense. Just take out your winnings when you get them. No point in having a bankroll unless you can consistently win, which most players in all reality cannot.
why?Play low buy-ins, which commit a maximum of 1% to 3% of your bankroll on the day you play.
Bankroll management is the stakes, you play, not how much you allow yourself to lose in a day. When it comes to variance, it makes no difference, if you play one game per day for 200 days, or if you play all 200 games in a single day. So what you are talking about here is not really bankroll management but setting some sort of stop-loss for yourself. Which can be a reasonable strategy to avoid playing on tilt.Play low buy-ins, which commit a maximum of 1% to 3% of your bankroll on the day you play.
Thank you brother! This poem was more than helpful!!Bankroll Management is different for everybody, The secret to it is no Secret, You have to find what works for You and stick to it religiously, Playing the percentage idea that you should not buy-in to any game your Bankroll cannot afford is very important to stop yourself going Broke!
Whether you choose 1%, 2% or even 5% of your total Bankroll, You also have to set limits on how much you are willing to lose in one Poker session, So given that, If you can lose 10% of your total balance in any one session, Which means sticking to a 1% Strategy gives you 10 games for that session, 2% would give you 5 Games and 5% would only allow you to play 2 Games, If you are Winning then of course you can play more, but if you are losing money Then stop when you hit the maximum allowance.
It is that simple, If you are bleeding money, Stop! You could be on "Tilt" and not realise it or just having a bad day catching nothing at the tables, Whatever the reason give the game a break and come back the next day with a different mindset.
Playing a 1% Bankroll limit only allows you to lose 10 straight games, and believe me I have had days like that, But stopping when I max out, gives me the opportunity to come back the next day and crush it at the tables, Because I have stopped, run through the hands I have played and find any leaks I may have had, and plug them.
Analysing your performance when you play is very important and if you are constantly going broke, depositing over and over again, then you have the wrong Bankroll Management Strategy, and it needs changing.
I am not a Professional Player, and never will be, but I am in Profit both from On-line games and Live games, the reason I believe in that is because I only play for Fun, and there is no Fun in Poker when you are losing Money. I regularly buy-in to £5 Live games at a Pub I visit and over the years I have bought into games as High as £50, but they are still less than 1% of my Poker Bankroll I keep just for Live games.
Poker should not be about how much money can I make, It is more about How much you are willing to lose, Because without a Strategy You will Lose!
Good Luck!
Thank you very much, to put effort looking for my results and giving back a personal review. I wish, the next time, when you check sharkscope, u will see some difference.First of all as some have already hinted at, its not possible to have a poker bankroll, unless you are a winning player.

Could you tell me one?I don't think there is a book for that but if you are really trying to learn bankroll management try learning management in general first, for this there are plenty of books available for free.
