turtleknife??? is that you???

yeah i understand what you are talking about to now, but chris ferguson is a freak of nature probably top 1% of the great poker minds

[theman1819]

how can 200 bucks be your whole bankroll? this guy doesnt know what hes talking about

[RadiioPigeon]

@theman1819 Of course it can. Make a first deposit of 200 dollars. Wallah - this is your current bankroll.

[theman1819]

@RadiioPigeon I guess this is just for online poker tournaments then cause you cant walk around with a 200 dollar bankroll and play cash games

[RadiioPigeon]

@theman1819 ... I don't think you get it man. Your bankroll is your poker money - as a whole. If you have $200 in your bankroll you can ( and are advised ) to sit down at a cash table with 10 dollars ( 5% of your bankroll) .

@RadiioPigeon I do get it, im saying this must only apply to online poker cause right now I have a bankroll of $2400 and im playing 1-2 no limit and thats the smallest limit in town. so you explain to me how you can play a cash game for 20 bucks and call that ur whole bankroll

@theman1819 sorry for replying to an 8 month comment, but i can explain. when i was under 18 playing on full tilt i could only get money onto my account by winning from freerolls. when i won $18 from a freeroll that put my bankroll up to $18. and to me that felt like $2400 does to a regular depositer. and i knew i couldnt just buy into a cash game and play with my whole $18. i had to play penny games and small buy in SNGs to build my, what i called, bankroll.

@00Phat12345 Im talking about real poker not penny poker, you cant make a living playing penny limits thats why I was confused about the 200 dollor bank roll, you need at least $5,000 if you are serious

[00Phat12345]

@theman1819 hmm i dont want to disagree with you coz i completely understand, you're right. but if you look at what chris ferguson done, he turned $0 into $10,000 so.... i mean "penny poker" is still real money and you CAN convert a few dollars into a huge bankroll.

bankroll managment is the most important aspect of poker bar none! an average player can make a living with proper bankroll management and a great poker player can always be broke without it!
