Answering the question : How to build a meaningful bankroll.
- How would I build a meaningful bankroll?
- It really depends on what meaningful means to me?
- Being able to play poker whenever I want?
- Yes, I would like to play whenever I would like to. What amount of money would be meaningful to me ? I suppose this is where the question "what is a meaningful bankroll?" really hit me hard. This bits a bit harder for me to answer.
- I play for fun although i do take the game as seriously as i can as an amateur and try to "beat the game" . That means playing enough volume to actually experience variance and having a bankroll that can manage these naturally occurring swings when I play.
- When you understand its never the same game no matter what stakes you are playing because every situation is unique it really makes you appreciate how much work is required to understand the game of poker and how you & others interact with the game to keep making profit.
- I play mostly low stakes multi table tournaments but dabble in cash games also. My bankrolls are quite small $500-$1000 as i dont like to keep too much money in poker client accounts and I try to have at least 100 buy ins for tournaments i play although im not that strict with the odd shot take.
- The problem about the word meaningful is that I know what that is in my heart, it means love of the game, and that just means enough money to play the game in front of me with the people around me. Simple.
- In my mind, the question is corrupted by thoughts of the future of money and what money will mean to people in the future. It makes me question what a meaningful bankroll really is in the future. I think a meaningful bankroll for me is just what i said above but does make me think i should play more at coin poker and try and develop a bankroll to be able to withdraw a "meaningful" amount of bitcoin! I just want to see how this crypto site works and play around a bit.
- Its a bit of a silly but also HUGE idea is I would then progress on my mission of getting the world to half their bitcoin with each other until we all "have a bit" ! Simply by us talking to each other and "giving a bit of our time & energy to each other" over the internet & irl. The simple bit is it just takes time and energy for us to account for ourselves and each other - all of us in the world! Hopefully In some form of game that hasnt been decided yet - cos thats how I think bitcoin works. Its a kind of game of energy - future energy.
- Essentially that is what money is in my mind - stored value that took energy or human endeavour to be realised whether that be exchanging our time for labour in a job or if your lucky and rolled enough, to play poker for a living and living the poker dream.
- Only when i know we have solved world poverty would i really feel comfortable gambling against other people online where i dont know how much money they have and how much money they can afford to lose. I suppose you could say i think about the morality of money a bit....
- I play at small stakes and i think ive always assumed people are playing with money they can afford to lose because games don't cost that much but writing this I am questioning my own morality of playing against players who might actually need my donations at the table! I always hope that people are having fun and when the fun stops they stop playing poker! Stay safe when gambling and never play with more you can afford to lose!
- I suppose im a long time understander of bitcoin having bought a bit for novelty value back in 2013. Ive experienced its rise in price over time but im more interested in it as a use case. Its a protocol that uses computer energy to run a hashing algorithm to make blocks of secure information - every 10 minutes or so. I believe its going to be a really useful tool to prove things between humans moving into the future. I suppose im a big believer in the future but i also believe that there are problems in the world that always need solving now like how am i going to build this meaningful bankroll ?
- Well, to start im going to float my world changing ideas with my cardmates community and see how they feel. Then i am going to invest on all the responses i get and watch my roll of comments grow and bank any laughs i get of my rubbish jokes along the way (recycled rubbish of course because i love recycling rubbish)
- . I am also thinking that I am going to start streaming this as a challenge - "how to build a meaningful bankroll?" because it touches on two issues close to my chest money & mental health (purpose & meaning) and provides an even more interactive platform to have this discussion and try to answer the question in "real time" . I hope this reads well and finds you well and gets you thinking. All the best for the future people. Noodles

Noodeloo, seriously nice blog and great insight. I’m all in I’ll be taking that gamble with you.
I love a punt!😉
let us know on the streaming and maybe some time soon I might be able to get something together and have a meaningful bankroll. I think that is why I stress out because of my financial situation these days, every penny really counts since having to give up work and living off benefits and mental state after 30 years being the provider going to nothing hits hard. I did try the easy way out, thankfully I failed and I learned to live without money and giving it, just still struggle receiving it, the pride kicks in I guess that’s why this blog really touched on big issues, thanks bro 👊
