In poker, a bankroll is the total amount of money a player sets aside specifically for playing poker. It’s your poker “budget”—used only for games, not personal expenses—and it helps you manage risk and stay in action through swings, wins, and losses.
A good bankroll strategy involves playing within your limits, meaning you don’t sit at games or enter tournaments that put too much of your bankroll at risk. This helps protect you from going broke during a bad run (aka variance).
Bankroll management is essential for both casual players and pros, and the rules vary depending on whether you’re playing cash games, tournaments, or sit & gos.
