Message: [QUOTE="Allsopp, post: 457485, member: 10295"] Well. First of all, it depends what you want the bankroll to do. The only reason you need a bankroll for poker, is to win at it. If your just a recreational player - you dont need a bankroll at all. I say this because, if you go bust when playing for fun - it doesn't really matter. But if you go bust when your trying to win cash. Then thats a serious problem. Also, you need to get your confidence back before you play poker. I make a living out of online poker, by beating up on people on the cash games and issuing badbeats. However I wouldn't be able to do this if I wasn't confident and happy to lose money to win money. You should never be timid at the tables or afraid of losing because if you do your in the same mindset as a gambler and will always lose. As for management. Well, like the good man says. Only have 5% of your bankroll in play at anyone time and if you lose that 5% stop playing. If you want to be able to go bust and reload then make sure your bankroll is big enough to not put more than 5% of your bankroll at risk. For example the highest possible limit you should be playing with your bankroll is 0.25/0.50. Because 5% is 1 maximum buyin at that level [I am working like this because you should ALWAYS buy in with the maximum in cash games - there are no exceptions] Then if you lose that you need to stop playing for the day. And look at maintaining that $1000 level before you start playing more. If you want to be able to reload etc at that levels then dont look at doing that until you take your bankroll upto $2000 BUT then you may want to consider moving to the 0.50/1 tables and using the same bankroll management strategy you have employed. However first of all you need to be good enough to beat cash games and by the sounds of it - it dont sound like you are. Bankroll management is no good to anyone if your not good enough to use it effectively and increase it! Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
