If you ever read a poker forum or asked advice from an expert player, surely you've seen or heard something about Bankroll Management. Bankroll Management means to manage your money in poker. And when we talk about 'money in poker', we mean the money you can dedicate exclusively to poker (that money is called your poker 'Bankroll').
Bankroll Management should generally mean having at least 100 buy-ins for your chosen game however it can be different from player to player. For example, some people can use an aggressive Bankroll Management strategy, because they are less inclined to tilt, and so losing part of that Bankroll won't cause them too much pain, and they can play easily with 30 buy-ins.
Other people have much more difficulties in handling losses, so a 'tight' Bankroll Management strategy is recommended for them (50 to 100 buy-ins is a good starting point at micro-stakes). If you have position against a loose but passive opponent then you have the advantage of seeing his actions first. If he checks the flop this will most likely mean that he has not a strong made hand.
