Poker Tip #3

Stealing a quote from Doyle Brunson, “Limit Hold em is like a job – the more hours you work, the more money you’ll make”. Money Management and the self discipline from which it comes are almost the most important factors in Limit, second only to learning how to become a good player. If you can’t manage your money, you won’t have any.

Money management does not mean giving your self a set amount to play with or lose. It simply means knowing when to stay in the game and when to get out. If there are easy players to win from – stay, if there are some real good players you may want to think about quitting.

If you’re on a big losing streak, it’s always a good idea to play in lower limit (and usually easier) games to build your bankroll up and to shore up your game.
