How much money will you need?

Although this strategy can be effective and profitable over time, you must follow the rules and follow the simple rules below.

How much money you need in your poker account to play at a given limit
How much money you should take to a table

Limit	Amount you need in your bankroll	Amount to take to table	Buy more chips when you have less than	Leave the table when you have more than
NL10 (0.05/0.10)	$50	$2	$1.50	$2.50
NL20 (0.10/0.20)	$120	$4	$3	$5
NL25 (0.15/0.25)	$150	$5	$3.75	$6.25
NL50 (0.25/0.50)	$300	$10	$7.50	$12.50

Examples to explain the above chart

Your starting limit, NL10 (0.05/0.10): As per the chart above, you start playing at the limit NL10 (0.05/0.10).

Your first step up the ladder: Once you have built up $120 in your account, you can move up to the next limit, NL20 (0.10/0.20). Some rooms don’t offer this limit, instead they offer the limit NL25 (0.15/0.25). In that case, you need to have at least $150 in your account before you can move up to the next limit.

Buy-in with $2: When you sit down at a NL10 (0.05/0.10) table, you buy-in for $2, as you can see in the chart. If your stack falls to less than $1.50, you buy some more chips so you can maintain a $2 stack. If you make a profit and have more than $2.50 in your stack, leave the table and look for a new one.

Always wait for the big blind to come to you
