"How to Build a Bankroll
December 23, 2006, 4:28 am

People ask me all the time. What is the best way to build a bankroll up? While I don’t play poker anymore (too busy with other projects, personal life), I thought I would offer up my thoughts as to what the best way to build a bankroll is online.

First off, you gotta have rakeback. Did you know that you can earn back up to 40% of your total rake, while you play? If you play any significant amount of poker, this will be hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars going straight to your bankroll every month. How could you afford to pass up this opportunity to pad your bankroll?

Also, you need to take advantage of reload offers that most poker sites offer. Even if you have a significant amount of $$ in your account, if your site is offering you a 20% bonus on any new deposits, you should pull out your credit card or Neteller account and deposit more money. Why not? It’s free money after all.

Now, what is the best way to build your bankroll through actual poker playing? I prefer the mid level SNG’s, 4-6 tabling at a time. If you play 6 $30 SNG’s an hour, and can maintain a 10% ROI (should be attainable if you are a halfway decent player), then you will be earning $18 per hour. When you add in your rakeback and bonuses, you will probably be earning closer to $25 per hour. Not bad at all. If you play 4 hours per day, that is $100 per day, $3k a month.

While playing ring games will add more $ to your hourly rakeback total, I prefer the SNG’s, but that’s just my personal preference. You can play SNG’s in a more mechanical fashion, whereas I find in ring games, you need to develop more of a read on your opponents.

That’s my take on building a bankroll."

You play the game that you have the biggest edge.

Though imo, the $11r satellite on stars are far and away the best bankroll builder. Essentially any satellite on stars, be it the new 55$ turbo, 39$ reg, 11r, etc to the sunday million. 11$ DS are also good value, I think the 16$ DS to the wsop only becomes good value when they pay 2 seats. Also both of those are turbos. The regulars take too much time.

$13 6 max turbo's on Stars is easy money.

POKERKING

Jus curious but does anybody else consider rakeback as part of their bankroll? i play stars only which i get no rakeback from, am i at much of a disadvantage?i play heads up only, anywhere between 20-100$ each but mostly 30 and 50$ and play on average 5hours per day. i get points prob about 500-750 a week but just waste them on sats etc and the odd book.

I agree with valor, I would go straight to the smallest cash games if I went broke. If I was a professional SNG player probably I would do otherwise. But I certainly wouldn't take this guys advice too seriously, whoever he is. "I don’t play poker anymore (too busy with other projects, personal life)" = probably busto.
