Paul Phua explains why your rock must have your 'roll

One of my readers wrote to me last week with a question. "Paul Phua Poker, please tell us: How can someone make their living playing poker? What amount of cash and/or income do they need and what stakes should they play?"

This is a great question. I'm actually going to soon release a video featuring tips from top poker players like Phil Ivey. In it, he states that managing your money should be one of the most important things beginners learn. The following tips will help players who wish to take their poker seriously.

Bankroll management

The term "bankroll" is used by poker players to refer to the amount of money they have dedicated to poker. It is important to keep this money separate from any other funds. This is to ensure that you don’t dip into funds you shouldn’t use to pay bills. Another reason is that you can see whether you're making or losing money when you play poker.

Also, you should have a bankroll that you can lose without causing you any problems in your everyday life. Although we all hope to win, it is impossible to guarantee success at poker. Even the most skilled players may have some bad luck.

How large should your bankroll? It could be as small as $500 or as large at $5 million. It doesn't matter how much you have to lose at poker. What stakes you can afford to play at will not change based on your size.

You have to choose the stakes

The higher your bankroll, the more you can afford to play. It doesn't necessarily mean you should play at the highest possible stakes. Bill Gates is a billionaire who reportedly enjoys playing poker at $1-$2 blinds. But it does mean you shouldn’t play at stakes larger than your roll. One reason is that you might be playing scared. This can make it difficult to make the right decisions and not result in the best results. One more reason is that too many unlucky games can wipe out your bankroll. Don't Learn to Play Sit and Go Poker Until You Learn the Nguyen Wrong
