The bigger picture is key for your bankroll

As casual poker players go through the metamorphosis and become professional poker players there is an under-estimation that comes shining through brighter than the rest. It is of course bankroll management. When you start you will be aware that the stakes that you choose to play will be dictated by the size of your bankroll. In fact if you do things right you don’t even have a choice, you will just simply play what you can afford. Unfortunately, we live in a world of debt and credit, and money seems to be everywhere you look.
Not separating your poker money from the rest of your living expenses is the first mistake people make. As their poker bankroll reduces there is a need to move lower in stakes. At this point the player thinks, “well I have a few grand in the bank so I don’t really need to go down in stakes just yet.” Pumping your online bankroll with funds from your everyday expenses is financial suicide. You may get a Betfair poker bonus, but you’d be risking too much.
The other problems that creep up on players are the emotional problems that bankroll problems will give you. Even if you are not consciously aware that you are going through a time of stress, your body and mind will still be feeling the full force. You may start arguing with your friends and family over simple money matters for example. All this because you play poker online.
So here it is for the millionth time! Make sure your poker bankroll is big enough to not just sustain your game but to also ensure that you never suffer from stress. If you are worrying about a losing session then the chances are you are in games too high for your bankroll.
