Managing your Bankroll

Standard rule of thumb on what your bankroll should be in poker is to have it at 300 times the amount of the big bet. For example, if you like playing a $5 limit, then your bankroll should be $1,500. Although this is a generalization to some degree, since you obviously need to know what kind of player you are too. If you're a tight, solid player, then chances are that you're not going to need as much as you would if you're someone who likes to get involved in a lot of pots.

Something else to consider is to determine what the size of your bankroll must be in relation to the type of game you'll be playing. You'll need more money if you like playing Stud versus palying Draw Poker. 

You also need to go with the limit that makes you the most comfortable, and everybody's circumstance is different, which will in turn, effect what the bankroll will be. Each player must consider the game, limit, style of play and the reason for playing so that they do not get in over their heads. This sort of discipline is absolutely essential to have success in poker.
