This will probably be one of the most important online poker secrets that I could give to you.  This is for New Cash Game players – either transitioning from Online Poker Tournaments OR from Live Cash Games.

If you are going to be playing any No Limit or Pot Limit cash games (no matter what the game of poker is you are playing), you should have a minimum of 20x the max buy-in of the game in your bankroll.  For example, if you are starting to play 0.50/1 NL HE, the max buy-in at the table is usually $100.  Your bankroll should be at least $1,000.

You need to have a bankroll to sustain the swings, and if you choose to play a stake without the bankroll, you are putting yourself in a losing situation, no matter how good of a poker player you think you are!
