Poker Bankroll Management for Casual Players

Even skilled players face swings. A sensible bankroll plan keeps the game enjoyable.

Separate poker money

Use funds you can afford to lose and keep them apart from everyday expenses.

Choose suitable stakes

Play at stakes where a few bad sessions will not end your bankroll. Moving down in stakes after a rough patch is sensible, not shameful.

Know when to stop

Set a time and loss limit for each session. Tilt, when emotion takes over decisions, is a signal to take a break.

Play responsibly
