Calculating Earning

Calculating Earning By B. Butler A poker player’s only palpable asset is his cash. While poker tournament titles and even reputations might precede a poker online player before they even enter the room, the merits of a player’s ability can only be measured by what he brings and takes from the table. All players have bad nights, but the superstars are the ones that can make those winning nights outlast the dips, and continue to build their bankroll while the rest of the tables stand in fear or otherwise. The major asset here, then, is not necessarily where the money begins, but how it is managed: the ways and means by which it is accrued. Some players play by will, stacking pots and building money only as whim hits them. Though it is surely possible to still be successful without taking notes, it’s certainly a leg up to know what you win where and when and how and how best to make those things happen again. It can be sobering to sit down and see how much you’ve grown (or lowered) your bankroll in a given year. Maybe you do much better playing stud than you do hold em, and maybe fixed limit is better than no limit. Maybe you’ve lost more with AK than you’ve won. This information builds a network that can help you unlock your game. Take notes, measure your winnings, be attentive, strategize before you play.
