    Recommended buy-ins

    FormatBuy-ins in bankroll
    Cash NLH20–40
    Tournaments (MTT)100+
    Fast/spin formats100+

    Stop-loss and moving up

    Set a daily stop-loss (for example 3 buy-ins). Move up only when you have the buy-ins for the new level; move back down without ego when you drop below.

    Separate poker money

    Keep your bankroll apart from living expenses and never play with money you need.
