► See the money, that you put down on the table, as an investment.
► Bankroll management means, in what limits you can invest, in order to...▫ …get as far ahead as possible when you win
▫ …not fall too hard when you lose
► Bankroll management for the big stack strategy:▫ You always go in with a full stack, so 100 BB, onto the table (100 BB = 1 Buy-
in)
▫ If you have enough for 25 buy-ins on the next limit, you can move up to that limit
▫ If you have only 25 buy-ins worth for the next lower limit, you must move down
► Even the world‘s best players go broke, when they don‘t stick to a good BRM!
What is Bankroll Management (BRM)?

► Your profit comes from the mistakes your opponent‘s make, and vice-versa!
► The most frequent mistakes made by opponents (till NL100) are:▫ They play too many hands and even weakers hands.
▫ They play too passively.
▫ They can‘t let go of their cards.
▫ They bluff too much and at the wrong time.
▫ They don‘t take their table-position into consideration.
▫ They don‘t practise good bankroll management.
► What you can do to avoid being such a player:▫ You play only certain, selected hands.
▫ You play in aggressively
▫ You have no issues folding, if it‘s going to be unprofitable.
▫ You seldom bluff, and that too only in appropriate situations.
▫ Your factor your table-position into your decision making.
▫ You practise good bankroll management.

► Play tight!▫ You play only selected starting hands. Lots of hole cards look good, but really
aren‘t.
▫ You know, when it‘s going to be too expensive to stay in the pot, and are capable of just folding your hand.
► Play aggressive!!▫ You decide what the betting is going to be like, instead of just calling others‘
bets.
▫ You put your opponents under pressure, so they start making mistakes
► Play in position!!!▫ It‘s dangerous to want to win money, when you‘re not as well-positioned as
your opponent on the table
▫ Playing in position gives you an enormous advantage with information gathering
▫ There are always more profitable moves possible

► The cornerstones of your success are:▫ Solid bankroll management.
▫ The consistent application of the tight-aggressive playing mode.
► In higher limits, you will eventually adapt your playing style, however the fundamentals would always remain the same.
►Good luck
