Hey all, I must apologise now if i sound really thick and stupid but this is reason i have joined this site. I want to improve my game and bankroll. I have been playing poker (no limit hold em) for about 18 months now and just cant seem to make my bankroll last very long. I cant afford to put alot when i do, so i do need to make it last. Has anyone got any suggestions. I play tournement poker mostly, the most i have won is around the $400 area. I just seem to get really excited to easy and spank it all. Again sorry if i sound stupid but some help and advice would be much appreciated

\] Well, at least you apologized. I kid. Really, the only way to make it last is to never have more than 10% of it in front of you, play a limit that makes sense for your roll, etc. I dont really follow that shit but some say it works.

How Is Posible To Accept All In Withouth To See The Floop ? But seriously you need discipline and control when playing. Oh yeah and don't play when your drunk.

10% is way too much. Never have more than 5% and that number is still high. Play it safe and never have more than 2% of your roll at a single table and if you are a good player you shouldn't go broke pending a massive downswing.

If you are a losing player, you will always run out. The percent you have at the table will determine how slowly you lose it.If you are a winning player, then you need to worry about the percent you have at the table to avoid bad luck wiping you out, and then take the advice above -- 5-10% should be fine.Based on your post, it looks like you are not a winning player. In that case, play .01/.02 and enjoy yourself, because you appear to be doing this for fun, not profit.

Thank you for the tip, i would love to be a serious player but unfortunatly do not have the money to do this, hence why i am wanting to start small and build my self up. Any other helpfull tips would be great

^ good advice. Though playing drunk tends to be much more fun. Till you are sober and realize how much money you lost.

On the other hand, if you are drunk enough and lose your whole roll getting two outered, you will probably have already pissed your pants so it will just blend in .

As a first step, avoid doing this in public.
