You must decide just what your poker playing limit is.
The term of playing limit has nothing to do with the term of
bankroll. Your playing limit is simply the amount of money you
would feel comfortable playing. No one can be indifferent when
playing his own money and therefore they cannot remain calm when
it comes to losing them. Therefore, don't use all your saving or
paycheck to play online poker. This is not good for two reasons:
1. If you lose, you will have a bad memory of the game that left
you with no money at all, when it is in fact your fault for not
being responsible and for not thinking through your actions.
2. You will lose! Think about this one for a while. You will
most certainly lose because your game will be affected by the
constant frustration that arises from your worries for your
money.
So, avoid these situations by playing an amount you wouldn't
care about. Just think of it as if it was an expense to buy a
game, and now you are playing that game you paid for. This way
the worries can be ignored and your playing style can really
become what it needs to.
If you have a normal profession or one more basis of profits,
then the above strategy should suit your case. But when you plan
to play poker for an income, then stuff gets difficult. A
professional poker player has no source but his bankroll. The
bankroll has at all times to remain intact so it can generate
income.
When you play poker your income will fluctuate. If you are a
wealthy person and don't care about money because you already
have too many, then fluctuation don't mean a thing. But if poker
is your only source of income, then keep the bankroll intact
only as long as you don't need it. When you have to pay the
bills, you will remove that amount from your bankroll. It is a
bad thing and it means you didn't know your limits. Your initial
bankroll will become smaller and smaller not because of poker,
but because you wanted to rely on an amount of money you did not
actually had to spend.
A professional poker player has learned his limits by now. He
knows exactly how much he is playing, and he knows how much he
should leave at the online casino and how much to put in a bank
or invest in the stock market after a win. There is no need to
increase a good playing limit that has been tested. Every time
we go above it, we can redraw the exceeding money and leave this
way the bankroll intact while making an income.
