I am not actually a beginner, i have been playing holdem for a while, but i do have some questions that maybe someone can help with. My biggest problem is bankroll management. I win a little and then attempt to play out of my bankroll limits and then get frustrated and lose. OR, i take a bad beat and try to win back what i lost with bad results. Luckily, to this point, i have minimized my losses and have taken a break for a couple weeks. I am going to start playing again this week.
I will be playing mostly 1/2 limit and a few 5 or 10 dollar tourneys per week. What should my starting bankroll be? I was thinking $1000 (which i can afford) Also, how much of your bankroll is acceptable to lose in 1 day? When should you just say "today is not my day" and quit until the next day? Also, if you win, say in limit, when should you quit? I have had situations where i have been ahead 35 big blinds in one session only to lose it all and then some.
