The same goes for poker tournaments where instead of cash game buy-ins you're thinking about tournament buy-ins. You're probably going to want at least 30-50 or more buy-ins because there's more variance in tournament poker. Of course most players don’t start out with a bankroll of $2,000.
Poker Bankroll Management (BRM) is one of the key pillars of being a successful poker player. It involves setting aside money you have designated for playing poker. Poker has a high degrees of variance. So, knowing and following proper BRM is imperative.
This poker bankroll calculator allows you to work out which limits you should be playing at in poker depending on how much money you have in your bankroll.
This calculator is based around the rules of basic no limit Texas Holdem bankroll management, which are:
- You should have at least 20 times the buy in for cash games.
- You should have at least 40 buy ins for SnG tournaments.
This bankroll calculator will tell you; which limits you should be playing at, how many buyins you have for that level, how much more money you need to win to move up to the next level and advice on how to approach the games at your limit.
