Poker Strategies
by David Aydt on July 19, 2008
In a visit to the way back machine, ok two years ago, my bankroll was a little more, um... robust then its current state. Playing six tables of PLO8 cash games with a few $10-$20 tournaments on the side was a normal night on the virtual felt. There was no knee-jerk reaction to some runner-runner that moved my stack into someone else's bankroll. Just reload and replay until the ill-gotten gains found their way back into the rightful home.
Also two years ago, Team Full Tilt came out with a discussion post on how one's bankroll should dictate how many games at what level you should play. Erik Seidel, J-Dags, Chris Ferguson, and Jennifer harman lend their expertise on the vital part of any poker player's career, how to manage your bankroll. Follow the link for the complete article in addition to Jennifer's remarks below:
As Jennifer Harman says, "Some players can be effective on a relatively short bankroll, but others need more of a cushion. They'll get stressed out and play scared if they don't have enough money behind them." So you need to be aware of your comfort level at the table. If you're nervous about what you stand to lose in a given pot, you're probably playing too high for your bankroll. Harman, like most Team Full Tilt members, recommends a conservative approach and suggests maintaining a bankroll that leaves plenty of room for downswings. "If you're playing $10-$20 limit, I think $10,000 is about right," says Harman.
