Limit Poker Bankroll Calculator
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.
Poker Bankroll Management is key for players who wish to ride out the natural variance of poker without going broke. Our poker bankroll calculator widget takes your current bankroll levels and advises the buy-in levels you should consider to maximize your chances of remaining solvent at the tables! Bankroll Management is so important that many of our articles cover this for various games.
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 appendix addresses the question of bankroll size Vs. Risk of ruin in video poker. For those who don't know, the risk of ruin is the probability of losing an entire bankroll. The following tables show the number of betting units required according to the desired risk of ruin, the game, and cash back.
- For Limit Texas Hold’em most poker professionals consider 300 big bets to be the minimum (but sufficient) bankroll required to weather the short term swings. Similar consensus exists for other forms of poker.
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.
