Why Bankroll Management is so Important at Poker Tables Bankroll is the amount of money a player keeps aside to play Poker. It is your capital that you use only to play Poker games. At live tables, your bankroll is the money you use to buy chips to wager on the table. When you play online, the amount available in your Poker wallet to invest at the tables is your bankroll. Along with the basics of how to play poker, it is also important to learn how to practice bankroll management to become a successful player.
What is Variance? A variance is a statistical measurement of how much money you can earn at the tables in the long run versus the potential results of your gaming session in the short term. You can consider it the difference between the downswings and upswings you face at the tables. If, as per the calculation, the variance is negative, that means the profits you make at the tables are not as per your expectations. If the variance is high, it can put you on ‘tilt’; and lead you towards making impulsive decisions. A sound bankroll helps you minimize the negative effects of variance in your game in the long run.
What should be the size of your bankroll? Recreational players (who play just to enjoy the game, not to make money) can keep a small bankroll. Professional players need to have a strong bankroll in order to participate in mid and high stake games and save themselves from facing financial troubles when you face downswings. What matters the most is playing only at stake levels that match your skill-set. If you are a beginner, it is advisable to play at free tables to learn the basics such as poker hand rankings, betting actions, table positions, etc before starting playing with real money. Move the level up only when your bankroll allows you to do so.
