Advice needed on serious play

[thegreatdom]

Hi guys Need some advice on what to do. I want to try taking poker seriously i started playing about a year ago just depositing doubling up then withdrawing, now i would like to have a set bankroll and take out any money i make over that limit. I tend to play and feel comfortable on limits 0.50/1 and 1/2 nl hold-em. I tend to multi table also with a maximum of 4 tables going with a minimum of 2 tables. How much would my bankroll need to be? and do people think that this would be a good idea? Thanks

Re: Advice needed on serious play Recommend this article to you :ok http://www.pocketfives.com/poker-articles/basic-bankroll-management-2425952 An aggressive bankroll (i.e. relatively high risk of going bust) would be about $3000 ($200 x 15) A more conservative bankroll (i.e. lower risk of going bust) would be about $9000 ($200 x 45) The "problem" I view with your format is that you deny yourself the opportunity to move higher if your play merits it. You should also not avoid moving to lower stakes if your bankroll requires it. As an alternative proposal, how about: - sticking to the bankroll requirements you decide upon from the article - playing strictly at the highest level you can afford within your bankroll. This may mean moving up (and down) far more dynamically than you currently expect. - Withdrawing your rakeback from your bankroll every month for your income. This will give you a far more balanced income.
