Default Re: question about building a bankroll

I think the best way for you to build a big bankroll is to put all your money in the bank and wait for the interest to pile up. From the sound of your post.

Thats actually not a bad idea. Use a bank account to store your money in and use interest only for playing poker.

Lets say you have $10,000 and you get 5.5% interest...

$10,000x0.055=$550 over a year

That gives you $45.83 a month. That should give you a couple of buy-ins at 50/1 or 1 buy in on 1/2. Use that money till the end of the month, and then deposit any winnings back in to increase your bankroll. This is actually the safest way to play your money yet certainly not the fastest.

Lets say at the end of the year you make $1000 - then your bankroll monthly allowance would be $50.42. If you make $2000 then your monthly allowance would be $55...etc

Initially it will be tough and very often at the start because you will only have a buy-in or two to play with, you will bust out very often. However if you are young and a winning player at low limits this could be a good way to go though to slowly build up money. A good strategy for the risk adverse. Poker doesn't have to be a gamble but a long time investment.
