Before coming to the key strategies for good play in tournaments poker sit'n go, it is essential to understand the key issues associated with the bankroll management, and how to resolve these problems.

PROBLEMS

Problem 1: Play beyond your intentions

For some people, money is not an issue. These people can play in the way that they like, and if they lose their deposit, they simply continue to put more money into play. This is perfect if you see only poker as entertainment and that you can afford. For the rest of us, it can be a fairly expensive proposal and, ultimately, we want poker to be a profitable attempt. I'll show you how to get started with a minimum deposit and establish a bankroll so high that you never have to deposit more money.

Problem 2: Going too quickly to something else

While you build your bankroll you will be tempted to move to higher stakes. On the other hand, when you agree to more important issues, you play against better players, and they will take you your bankroll unless you have developed the skills necessary to compete at higher levels. I'll show you how gradually move you and protect your hard-won bankroll while you develop the skills needed for higher limits.

Problem 3: Experience the frustration and bad luck

We have all experienced some hard knocks. You invest your money with the best hand and a 'fish' just root out you it. We also had too long periods of bad luck, where cards are simply not operating - you continually miss the flop and your draws do not come. It can be very frustrating and affect your decision-making process, sending you to bankruptcy. I'll show you a simple rule that you can use to stop this spiral that leads you down.


The rules of the BANKROLL

Rule 1: deposit up to $ 50 per month

To begin to build your bankroll, you must first develop respect for your money. The best way to create this respect is to apply a penalty for the loss of your initial deposit. Do this by limiting the frequency of your deposits. Start with a deposit of $ 50 and treat yourself to a new deposit only once per month. If you lose this deposit, opt for "play money" tables until the next month. On the other hand, by applying the solution 2 in addition to game strategies that I will teach you in the upcoming lessons, you might never have to deposit money again!

Rule 2: Apply the rules of 5% and the 25 X

The 5% rule is simple: Insert no more than 5% of your bankroll at any buy-in sit'n go. By limiting your buy-in to 5% of your bankroll, you will limit your losses no matter what happens. Moreover, while you create your bankroll, this rule allows raise you in levels. Whatever it is, if you start to lose money at the highest levels, the rule of 5% will force you also back down. The only exception to this rule - you can still play at the level $ 2, regardless of your bankroll. In addition, do not mount to the next level until your bankroll is at least 25 X the buy-in. By using the flag 25 X, give you a few chances to win at the next level until rule of 5% only forces you to back down.

For example, if your initial deposit is $ 50, you should start by playing tournaments sit'n go $ 2.Stay at the level $ 2 until you increase your bankroll at 25 X the next level buy-in. Then if the next level buy-in is $ 5, do not change until this you have brought your bankroll at $ 125. I realize that 5% of $ 125 is more than costs of entry $ 5; you want to give you a small stepping stone to start to win at the next level. Whatever it is, if you have problems to win at the new stadium, you must apply the 5% rule and descend to a level lower if your bankroll decreases under $ 100. Applying the rule of 5% and that of 25 X, you are assured of always playing at a level appropriate to your bankroll.

Important note: the 25 X rule works well when you start at the lower limits. However, once you have built your bankroll and you start playing at higher limits, say $ 20 or more, or you start multi - tabler, I recommend a larger bankroll to protect you from the slopes. Consider remain at the level $ 20 until you have 50 X the next buy-in.

Rule 3: If you lose three times, shut down for the day.

To avoid becoming frustrated due to hard knocks or a series of bad cards, the solution is simple - stop playing! If you lose three times on, shut down for the day. By quitting, you will brake the trend (at least for that day!). The next day when you will start to play, your frustration will be left and you will be able to approach the game with the free spirit. By applying these strategies set forth in the following lessons, it will become unusual that you do this experience two days away. But if this happens, you may want to wait a few days before replay. It can destroy your bankroll to play under the frustration. It is better to keep away you from the game for a few days to make the profit you've earned so badly.

Rule 4: Remove 10% per week

Once your initial bankroll increased over $ 1500, it's time to reward yourself for your efforts. I highly recommend you to withdraw 10% of your total bankroll every week. It may sound like a lot, but it represents only two buy-ins (if you follow the rules above!). Withdraw money does two things. First, it protects the money (you can not lose what is not in your online account). But more important still, it rewards you for your hard work.

CONCLUSION

As I mentioned in my introduction, I have been broken several times when trying to learn the game. When I look on my failures, I found that each time can be attributed to the breach of one or several rules outlined above. However, I have not been broken since I adopted these rules. Obviously, I can't force you to apply them - I can only encourage you to adopt and apply them to your bankroll. Here they are again:

  • Deposit up to $ 50 per month;
  • Apply the rules of 5% and the 25 X (50 X at the highest levels);
  • If you lose three times, shut down for the day;
  • Remove 10% per week.

Although this is important, there are more in the construction of a bankroll that effective management of it. You must also learn and apply strategies that will lead you to victory. I will begin to expose these strategies in the next lesson
