that is question for every player and every of them have different "pocket"! when you see what amount you have, you can make plan how much you will invest in some game! ofcourse lot of players dont care about money or how much they will spend, so they can start with 20 dollars on bigger stakes! it all depend from player to player!

That depends on each player, to level up you have to study, and to play poker you have to have at least 80 boxes of the level, the more you level up the more boxes you have to have, and when they are tournaments this is much more.

I completely agree with Article , you must have a healthy bankroll , large enough hor every game that you play so as to deal with variance . Or else you will end up on tilt , stressed , losing all your bankroll . Rules are needed to be followed when you gamble, or else the fun if the game will be destroyed for sure

If you don't have brm then the fun of the game will be lost . You will regret gambling , regret playing poker one day . You won't be able yo keep on playing without proper schedule and management . You will not level up stakes , not be able to become better . And never chase losses , this brings more losses and destroys bankrolli

I like to have 50 - 100 dollars to be able to play satellites and a little cash. Here i can qualify for bigger tournaments where i can win something. Professional players also lose quite often so there are chances of winning if the software is neutral.

I think It's a great article in special for those beginner players who are taking their first steps in the world of poker. Likewise, I think that any player, whether beginner or experienced, should respect that sum of money they spend to play poker.

It depends if you are winner on the limit or you are going to new limit. Then if you are professional and if you just play for fun. Professionals i think they have at least 100 buy ins for limit that they play. But some of them use more "aggresive" brm. But for this you must be disciplined, becouse you wil must do allot climbing up and down on the limits.

To play tournaments of 2 to 5 dollars of entry I always do it with 400 dollars of bankroll, I always like to play calmly that is why with that bankroll it is more than enough, each one can choose the amount to play poker either in cash or in tournaments.

With every bankroll you can play every game! To play tournaments with buy in 2 to 5 and you need 400 dollars on account! This is just joke, ha, ha! And this kind of posts we have for years!

If you want to play poker for fun, any amount of money can work for you, but if you play and want to start climbing levels in poker you have to have at least 50 boxes per level to play calmly and within the bank.

Each level of poker requires a certain amount of cash to play poker, from nL25 onwards you must have more money to play poker, sometimes there are players who play outside the bank and that is complicated.

Even the news itself shows us that for tournaments the amount of money must increase, the requirements are usually higher and 100 to 200 buy-ins are often recommended. This is because tournaments can have a greater degree of variation.

Who can understand this? To have 100 times more then the buy in for tournament cost? What a silly words! Why would you have it, its not cash game! You can have only for that tournament, you dont need it later! Wow, what a strategy!
