I'm not looking to go pro, but I'm turning 21 tomorrow and I'm looking to set aside my bankroll. I'm planning on playing between 3/6 and 5/10. What should my bankroll start out at?

300 BB or big bets is standard so, 1,800 for 3/6, 3,000 for 5/10. GL.

You looking to go pro but you dont know how big your bankroll should be?

Hmmm good luck? [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

300BB - But if your going pro id want a cushion of 500BB... If you hit a downswing and this is where your cash in coming from i think you need "Spare" cash.

yeh i mis-read it. From the title i basically assume you wanted to go pro "Career" and all.

i'm 18year old student, i actually started learning poker when i was 17 but then it was boring grinding so i quit. Come back later...

The beauty of this is, is that when you first start poker is SO FUN! Just learning what hands beat what... Seeing what the guys do, trying to guess their hands etc its fun.

The money(i.e. $.40cent pots) is irrelevent when i started. Also learning the game at .02/.04 is cheap "tuition" infact i lost $16, nearly went bankcrupt at that stakes.

Once you get to $30 you move up, then $60(Poker stars as .10/.20 tables). You'll get a $300 BR in a matter of weeks, Trust me....

When i started i didnt know anything abut casino whoring, nor bonuses... i grinded for months trying to get to .25/.50 tables whilst playing .05/.10.

$150 aim at .05/.10 = 1500BB!!!! It took me ages, But now theres .10/.20 tables, so speeds up.

Anyhow once i learnt bonus whoring/Casino whoring my bankroll increase by about $200 a week for a few weeks.

So you'll go from $20 to $300, maybe even $600 in a matter of weeks. Then you can buy pokertracker and all that.

Anyhow good luck,
Feel free to pm me if you want.

It should start out at $20, that's 500BB at .02/.04.

Yup. After not listening to people like you and losing some at higher limits, I did as you suggest here, and am now actually REALLY learning what I am doing.
