What size is your Bankroll?
First you have to ask yourself one question: are you sure that
you are a consistent winner? If the answer is no then your bankroll
should be the amount that you are willing to loose when playing
for fun, or when you are learning to play to win. If you are a winning
player your bankrolls should be enough to prevent you from going
broke.
Some players can be effective on a relatively short bankroll, but
others need more of a cushion. They get stressed out and play scared
if they don't have enough money behind them. So you need to be aware
of your comfort level at the table. If you're nervous about what
you stand to lose in any given pot, you're probably playing too
high for your bankroll.
Playing over your bankroll is fine once in a while, but all the
pros concur that it's important to leave yourself plenty of money
to recover from unlucky hands and the occasional mistake.
You will learn quickly that is always better to be conservative
when dealing with your bankroll, because once it is lost its gone
forever. Remember to always be patient; Rome wasn’t built
in a day. Don’t expect things to develop overnight, because
then you will be setting yourself up to fail. However if you are
patient and build your bankroll consistently, it will allow you
to gradually move up in stakes and increase your earnings .Remember
that almost nobody wins huge amounts of money when they first begin
playing. Don't over extend yourself, play well, and when you have
more than enough to move up, make the move. By playing games that
are within your limits, you give yourself a much better chance of
being a winner.
