General Guides on Bankroll
As a general guide for how big your bankroll should be, a commonly accepted figure is for it to be at least 10 buy-in’s  at the level that you are playing at. If you are playing $0.50/1 games, your bankroll needs to be $1000.00 plus, in my opinion. Some people claim you need more, while others claim you need less. While the above is considered a good guide, there are other factors to take into account when calculating bankrolls that are influenced by the type of player you are and your game of choice.

Bankroll and the Type of Player You Are
If you are a tight player, then you will probably not need as much money as a player who is involved in many pots. This really is down to individual style of play, and an aggressive player should think about having a bit extra to play with because they will obviously use a lot of continuation bets etc. My style loose aggressive requires more $$ then most people as i put in a lot of bets and play a lot more hands.

BankRoll and the Game You Play
Another factor when determining the size of your bankroll is the type of game you play.If you play limit ‘holdem the bankroll you need is much lower then what is needed for no-limit holdem.
