Maximizing Your Bankroll

Effective bankroll management is not just a matter of keeping your bankroll intact. Basically, it’s also about making your bankroll grow big. Thus, it’s important that you know how to maximize your bankroll.

Naturally, if you know how to maximize your bankroll you can later make it big. It won’t matter whether you have a small bankroll or have a big one, the important thing is that you know how to maximize it by playing on limits or kinds of poker games that it will survive and eventually grow.

$200 or Less

Say you have a bankroll of $200 or less. Well, this can be not enough for some limits but it won’t be the end of everything for you. You can still make it with your bankroll at games with stakes around $.5-1.00 limit or at $5 Sit and Go Tournaments (SNG’s). At these games or tournaments, you can make the most out of your bankroll and later even double it up. Just be careful with $5 SNG’s as sometimes they ask for $1 entry fee which is equivalent to a 20% rake.

$500-900

For an instance you have $500-900 as a bankroll. Well, this is already a good bankroll. Your choices for games won’t be that limited anymore. However, at best, you must play at $.5-1.00 games then later on at $1-2 games so you can maximize your bankroll. You can also try at $10 SNG’s.

$1000 or More

Now, say you have $1000 or more. Most likely, can play at whatever limits you wish to play. You will now have freedom with regards to choosing what limits. But it will be helpful for you to still discipline yourself. Even a bankroll of $1000 or more can still be gone in an instant and can still remain unimproved. At best, play at $.5-1.00 games or $10 SNG’s then later to $20 SNG’s. This will be helpful for your bankroll.
