Default bankroll management

hi

bad luck - but that is what it is when you end up putting all of your bankroll into one table / one game / one hand

ideally players should have 20x the buy-in at any given table to ride out the variance - your not going to win them all and even the pro's dont expect to

if you had $10 and played at a $10 max buy-in table then before you really know where you are in terms of poker playing ability - you could reasonably expect to deposit and play another $190 to have played / have a bankroll of 20x the buy-in

hope that makes sense - but your expecting far too much from putting all your bankroll into one game - it should be a 1 in 20 shot at steady profit, not a 100% sh*t or bust shot at it with what will only be scared money

hope thats a help - see our article on Poker Bankroll Management

cheers scrawnybob
