Review

bankroll It is important to have a basic understanding of bankroll management, earn rate and the fluctuations that will occur in Hold'em.

A very good poker player earns about one big bet an hour in a full ring game. You need to play a tremendous number of hours before you can feel confident that your historical actual rate is close to what you can expect to earn in the future.

A good player who earns one big bet an hour needs about 350 times the big bet to ensure never going broke.

The following chart shows recommended bankrolls needed for moving up and down limits assuming you are a winning player:
