300BB rule enough for the casual internet poker player?
Hello all, first post here. I am using the 300BB rule for my bankroll. I am an average recreational player. What are the chances of me going broke if I am not a total donk? I usually play between one and two tables, no more. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Doesn't matter how large your bankroll is if you're a losing player.

OK. Just don't forget that it's quite a minority that wins in the long term, so don't get your hopes up.
This and this should help, although I have no idea how realistic they are. If you don't have Poker Tracker (or a different tracking program), I STRONGLY suggest you get it. When I started playing at the nanolimits, I stuck by the 300BB rule until I switched over to NL. |

Depends on a ton of things, but as long as you're not relying on poker for income 300 is fine. Drop down if you drop 150.

OK for NL... If I want to play $10 NL I would need a $300 bankroll, for $100 NL I would need a $3,000 bankroll, ect... That sounds pretty safe to me. Keep in mind I am NOT playing for a living. BTW thanks for the link DMoogle.

Re: 300BB rule enough for the casual internet poker player?
Are you planning on playing Limit or NL? The 300BBs minimum bankroll is suggested for limit. Just so you're clear, BBs= Big Bets, i.e. 2xbig blind.
In NL a standard minimum bankroll is 20 buy-ins. By buy-in, I mean 100Bbs (Bb = big blind, not big bet), which is usually the maximum allowed buy-in in NL games online. However, a huge part of bankroll management skills is your ability to move down when you lose some of your bankroll. |

If youve got a steady job and can reload with out to much trouble, I would just start at whatever limit you feel comfortable with, and then move up or down as needed.

I realize discipline is huge key to being successful. |
