Regardless of what game you play, your ultimate success depends entirely on how you handle your money.
Proper bankroll management is what separates professional gamblers from casual players who go broke quickly.
How to Determine Your Starting Funds
Never gamble with money needed for rent, groceries, or any essential living expenses.
Once you have a set amount, it is crucial to divide it into smaller session bankrolls.
Use the 'envelope system' in Vegas: put daily cash allowances into separate envelopesAdjust your stakes downwards if your bankroll takes a significant hitDiscipline is the key; the math of the game means nothing if you cannot control your spending
How Much Should You Bet per Hand?
If you have $100, placing $25 bets guarantees that a short run of bad luck will bust you immediately.
Proper sizing allows you to stay at the table long enough for probability to balance out the short-term variance.

In the casino, discipline and money management always trump luck in the long run.
