Bankroll Management
资金管理
Bankroll management is the discipline of choosing stakes and buy-in levels appropriate for your total poker bankroll. Proper bankroll management makes sure variance won't wipe out your funds. Common guidelines suggest having at least 20-30 buy-ins for cash games and 50-100 buy-ins for tournaments. Without proper bankroll management, even winning players will eventually go broke.
Example
With a $3,000 bankroll, proper management means playing $100 buy-in games or lower (30+ buy-ins).
