Hi, what is your opinion on how many buy ins should you have in a cash table? I made around 1k from nothing and play NL0.10/0.20 and PLO10. I thought of moving the levels up when I reach 1,5k.

I think you are a very very conservative woman. There are lots of theories in bankroll management. Personally in cash games I apply the 2% rule, don't spend more than 2% of your bankroll. In my case, playing 0.10/0.20 next level had started when you reached $100!

Are you looking for more challenge or bigger earnings? I myself are very conservative and when i find something that pays i stick to it.. of course you have to challenge yourself sometimes, but dont change your game to fast

20-25 buy ins for NL Hold'em. However it is important how do you feel on your current level. Its always good to know that if you lose on higher level you can easly get your bankroll back on lower lever.

I use no less than 30 BI as a rule of thumb, 50 BI if feeling conservative...PLO is of course more swingy so you have to adjust up, and you also have to adjust up if you are playing 6-max. It also depends on your play, whether you like or not to make high-variance moves like moving allin on flush draws

Hi guys!!
I see some or us think that 20-30 buy-in are enough.. Don´t you think that is a really agressive management? A down with that number will be so hard. And at the begin, you will pass levels too quick, without be sure your are a real winner in them.
The bankroll to building there is effective one like that, or netán even more effective one Isildur- bankroll management, than it till now known. So, if we say it you are a Romsy Want2push- player ( for who there is edge above the field) by virtue of some reason obliged beforeto start the Bankroll his building. And simply 500$ ( 50BI Nl10-re) your stands. How they would be able to climb back soon on Nl1000? Normal Br known till now managementtel, you are an Isilduréhoz with a similar syllabus? I think about us saying it in chorus here 100 dollars relating to start and as soon as it is possible to step onto a taller stake, and a rusht (upswinget caught), short time allatt again Nl1000- hez nearly to play a stake. If he does not arrive in newer 100 dollars and to make an attempt again. Sure here not now important to reckon with these numbers and limits.
hi all heres a little help on Bankroll management for the begginers......
The following principle is key to becoming a successful poker player. Without the proper money management skills, the best players in the world would go broke. For all you begigner-readers, here are the basic rules of bankroll management for Texas Hold'em.
20 buyins for NL Hold'em. 300 big blinds for Limit Hold'em. 40 buyins for SnG Tournaments.
What is bankroll management? "Bankroll management" (sometimes abbreviated to BRM) is where you play at certain limits to avoid losing all of your bankroll due to bad runs of cards, which any poker player must expect from time to time.
This is called "playing within your bankroll". Subsequently, if you play at higher limits where there is too great a chance of losing all of your poker money, you are "playing out of your bankroll".
Why is bankroll management important? The reason why you should choose your limits carefully in poker is due to the variance. Variance is a term used to describe the "ups and downs" of poker where you fluctuate from having bad runs of cards to good runs of cards, resulting in varying profits and losses.
If you play poker for long enough there are going to be periods of time where you will consistently lose money, not because you are playing badly, but because the cards are not falling your way. This means that if you do not have enough money in your bankroll to absorb these big downswings, it is likely that you will lose it all.
Every player, irrespective of ability, will experience variance in their game. Bankroll management is in place to deal with this variance and allow you to continue playing without going broke.
Therefore every time we sit down at the poker table, whether it be live or online, we want to give ourselves the best opportunity to win a maximum amount of profit whilst keeping the risk of going broke minimal. This is where the rules of bankroll management come into play.
So what limits should I be playing at? Cash games. If you are playing pot limit or no limit poker, the safe recommended size of your bankroll is 20 times the full buy-in of where you want to play. This means that if you want to have the best chance of making money at a $1/$2 game where the maximum buy-in is $200, you should have a bankroll of at least $4000.
Another way of applying bankroll management is by only putting a maximum 5% of your entire bankroll on the table at any one time, which works out the same as having 20 times the buy-in for the game.
If you like to play limit Holdem however, you should have 300 Big Bets as a minimum for the limit you wish to play at. Therefore to play $1/$2 limit Holdem, you should have a bankroll of at least $600.
Tournament games. It is recommended that you have a bankroll that will give you 40 buy-ins to the level of tournaments that you wish to play at. Therefore if you want to play at the $10+$1 Sit n Go's you should have a bankroll of $440.
The guidelines noted above are very general rules that should give you the best opportunity to make money from playing Texas Holdem poker without going broke. However there are going to be some exceptions and alterations depending on how and where you play
