Poker bankroll building with poker cash games

In cash games, your money is on the table. You don’t buy chips that represent a part of a prize pool. If you bet $100 in chips, it’s just as if you would have put a 100 dollar bill into the pot; and if you run out of chips, you can always rebuy.

Thanks James!

Played 1 hour tonight on 0.10/0.20 and increased my bankroll from 80$ to 107$.

FFS…got impatient on the 0.10/0.20 tables and took a shot at 0.25/0.50. Lost my entire 83$ bankroll in less than 1 hour.
Lost with AA vs K3…he caught a third K on the flop
Lost with K7 vs J2 who had hit a full house and played me perfectly
Lost with AK vs JJ no help on the board

Well about a week ago I deposited 50$ and took another shot at the 0.25/0.50 tables. Tonight I lost what had become a 67$ roll.
Again I did not follow my rules and stop when I was 1 buyin down.
This makes me a bit nervous and I need some time to think things through before starting again.

Well there goes my roll again. Deposited 50$ and turned it into 60$.
Tonight I lost with AK vs 66 on a 6K3 flop
I lost with 22 vs 77 on a 742 flop
I lost with 55 vs AQ on a 5AK flop (turn J, river 10)

I’m not going to play poker again for a month

Guys,
Bankroll management! Bankroll management! Bankroll management! It is THE most important factor in poker!
You can only play 0.02 if you have a bankroll less than 100USD! If you play 0.50 stakes with a 50 USD bankroll then you WILL go broke! Just the matter of when.
I am building my bankroll playing 0.02-0.05 6 max cash games. I started out with 15USD and now I have 133USD! Once I get up to 200USD then I will start playing 0.05-0.10(5%) – I only play with 5 % of my bankroll at any given time to avoid going broke. Poker has a lot of variance which causes losing streaks from time to time. So this is why bankroll management is so important
Keep in mind poker is a long term game! If you are only in it for the short term, then poker is not for you!
Poker is about making right decisions, making money is only a benefit of doing exactly that!
