Online Casino Bankroll Management

We all know that bankroll management is incredibly important. You need to have enough money in your poker account to avoid going bust when you inevitably experience some bad variance and lose. However, there is a fine line between stopping your growth by playing two lower stakes and leaving yourself over exposed and potentially going broke on a downswing.

Some players can be effective on a relatively short bankroll, but others need more of a cushion. They 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 any given pot, you're probably playing too high for your bankroll.

Playing over your bankroll is ok once in a while, but all the pros think that it's important to leave yourself plenty of money to recover from unlucky hands and the occasional mistake.

You will learn quickly that is always better to be conservative when dealing with your bankroll, because once it is lost its gone forever. Remember to always be patient; Rome wasn’t built in a day. Don’t expect things to develop overnight, because then you will be setting yourself up to fail. However if you are patient and build your bankroll consistently, it will allow you to gradually move up in stakes and increase your earnings .Remember that almost nobody wins huge amounts of money when they first begin playing. Don't over extend yourself, play well, and when you have more than enough to move up, make the move. As always never bid more than you can safely afford to lose!
