Free Poker Online Building a Bigger Bankroll

Building a decent bankroll is the whole aim of playing poker, whether you are playing Free Poker Online or coughing up your own hard earned cash.

There are many ways to start building a bankroll. First start off by playing free rolls and qualifiers for bigger prize pool tournaments.

Now start off by playing cautious and just trying to cash in the beginning. Once your bankroll is up play more aggressive and play to win. Take your time at first, watch your opponents and see how they play their game, and get a feel for the table. Should I be loose, should I be aggressive etc.

Free Poker Online is a great way to get started when learning how to build a good bankroll, if you go wrong and lose all of your money, then technically you haven't actually lost your own cash.

Now that you have started building a successful bankroll you are ready to start doing buy ins. Do not invest more than 10% of your bankroll at any one time. If you are successful in those then you are ready for the next step possible.

You should now be experienced enough to try your hand at cash game tables, also known as ring tables. Once again stick to tables that do not require more than 10 percent of your bankroll. I would also advise you to buy in for the minimum allowed. Now once you have mastered the feel for the game and know your limitations it is time to get more aggressive and up the minimums to roughly 25 percent of your bankroll and try to build a little faster.

Now also do not ever try to chase your losses. What I mean buy this is say you buy in for 100 at a table and lose that don't buy in for 200 and try to get it back. You want to try and minimize your losses while maximizing your winnings. I hope this is hopeful to you all and you take this advice all the way to the bank.

You're probably not going to be as worried about flunking out if you are playing in free poker games, but bear in mind that many free poker sites actually pay out in real cash, so its well worth building your pot as much as you can at every opportunity.
