This text in the first place is intended for playing fixed limit and tables with 7 up to 10 players.
The bankroll
A normal recommended size for playing fixed limit is 300 times the maximum allowed bet. This means that if are playing at for instance a $1/$2 table you have to change to a table with lower stakes if your bank roll goes down below $600. Acting like this means you can in a safe way recover the money you have lost. Our aim is to make a profit in the long run and losses are accepted without whining as long as we play correctly. The fundamental idea with having a big enough bankroll is to cope with the negative fluctuations that arise now and then when you play Texas Hold’em.
The winning method is as mentioned before to make so many statistically correct decisions that there is a pay off. All of us lose now and then although we have pocket A's but I am sure you realize you would be more than willing to have these cards in every hand as they with with a 100% certainty will give you a nice and big profit when you divide the winnings by a great number of hands instead of by just a few hands when you have been unlucky and lost a couple of times. A bankroll which is big enough means you can go on playing even when you make occasional losses and thus make more correct decisions which help building your poker capital as time passes and more hands are played.
300xBB is a fairly convenient sum and is often recommended but hardly completely correct when it comes to the demands you should make on your bank roll in order to avoid that it is overdrawn. If you are fully dependent on your bank roll on your account and if you also have decided that this money is all you are prepared to spend the demands should be a bit stricter. There is probably nobody who will criticize you for playing at a $1/$2 fixed limit table in spite of having a bank roll of $1000 (500 times BB). Safety should always be prioritized when playing poker about money. It should however be said that it is not impossible to manage with a capital of 300 times BB. It fully depends on if you are starting with a rush (many wins) or a heavy downswing (many losses). Losses amounting to 100 times BB are practically compulsory even if you are a wizard at playing Texas-Hold’em. I think most experienced players would agree on the fact that it is considerably more unusual to make losses of the size 300 times BB or bigger.
If your bank roll has a size which is fairly big in relation to your bets you are not so limited when making decisions and you play better. Your bankroll should in other words have a big enough size so you can make bets without being afraid and having thoughts like “Gee, that’s a lot of money. I’d better take it easy and cool down” and your bank roll should not have to pack up after a few lost hands. You of course do not have to shovle the whole of your bank roll onto the table in one go, be satisfied with a an amount which does not restrict your decision making. The recommendations only apply to the chips needed as a buffer to cope with the fluctuations that with certainty will come. It does not of course need saying that you should have chips enough at the table to cope with the max raises at all the betting rounds if you should have the strongest hand.
There is however a paradox with this – if you do not play correctly you risk losing more money than you planned from the beginning.
If you are the kind of player who has a good financial situation and is willing to deposit more money if you have run out of it you of course do not have to even consider what has been discussed above. You should however remember – fluctuations are compulsory.
Find a table with high flop percentage.
The chapters “Basics”, “Beating low limit Texas Holdem ” and “Odds calculation ” are as mentioned before fully working when you play at fixed limit tables with 10 players (down to 7) as long as the tables you are playing at have a high flop percentage. Preferably with many goofies who always take their hands too far (this is far more common than unusual at certain sites). It is up to you to utilize the information you find under Hold’em-explained.com – we supply the recipy. You will sooner or later, when you have gained some experience, make a profit. Do not count on quick profits even if these occasionally will turn up. Professional poker players on average make money on just a few big bets per hour on the internet. This means there is much playing at low levels till you have money enough to enter bigger tables and thus increase the profit/hour through increased bets. A few big bets/hour as a profit at the $5/$10 tables will at the end make quite a good pay per hour. The hard thing is to get there – you have to be prepared to fight. By fighting is not meant that you should become a poker addict.
Sites offering high flop percentage
Here are also some screenshots from Pacific Poker as there are many players online there at the same time as there are quite a lot of blockheads there. Have a look at the flop percentage in the below pictures and you will understand what has been discussed here. (Plrs/flop). Everything over 50% is playable. This poker site often has a rate of between 70% and 80% which is amazingly high. Great odds for the ones who play according to the rules presented at FixedLimitHoldem.com. This is actually applicable even up to the $5/$10 tables. You should however see to it that there are 7 players or more including yourself at the table. Otherwise the game will turn to and become shorthanded and that kind of game demands other strategies in order to be successful
