Before anything else, I would like to say thank you for the response you gave me last time. I know I might already be causing too much, but there’s one question that keeps on playing on my mind. It’s actually something related to Holdem bankrolls.

Ever since, I consider myself an above average poker player when in terms of winnings and the way I play home tournaments. But just recently, I’m considering making it to the casinos so I’m not sure if things will still be the same.

I’m also having problems on my games online. I just deposited $20 or $30 to eventually gain lots of experiences. But things went out of track and I was left alone with phantom swings in my bankroll. For an instance, I’ve taken $30 and with just a matter of two weeks turned it into over $400, but only to lose it in just a week. Same case with my $20 which have tuned to $100 in just one week. Do you think there’s something wrong on how I place my bankroll?

How much money do you think I should bring to the table? How about 20 times the big blind? Is it just right or it should be greater?

Another thing, what percentage of my total bankroll should I place at risk? 5% , 10% or more? Of course, as a player, I want to see my total bankroll to increase and get bigger and bigger, but I don’t want to be in possession of it too. Any advise? Most especially that I will be setting a total bankroll of $2000 and planning to place 5% to 10% of it at risk.

Thanks for any advice in advance.

Lee,

I usually like to sit down with 20 big bets when I set down in a limit game and a full buy-in for a NL game. At any one session I will risk no more than 30 big bets in a limit game and 3 to 5 buy-in for a NL game. 30 big bets is 10% of a 300 big bet bankroll, which is what I recommend to play with.
