The bankroll is the amount of money that players can afford to play without affecting their lives if they lose it. For professional poker players is more than that, for them is the necessary tool to work and if they lose it they have to look for another job. All the types of poker players need to be sure that they do not surpass the limits as to what they can do with their bankroll in poker games.

In poker games with a fixed limit, the bankroll has to be at least equal to 300 big blinds. If we play in multiple tables we have to have a bankroll of at least 1,000 big blinds.
