Here's 'Fergulator'. A nice bankroll management tool for you to download and enjoy.

The easiest way to begin building an online poker bankroll at the micro stakes tables in New Jersey’s online poker rooms is by searching the various sites for the best deposit bonuses. A free bankroll is just a marketing tool online poker sites use to drum up new business. No matter how you look at it, acquiring new customers costs money. The logic behind free poker bankrolls is that you might as well give some of that cost directly to the potential customer.

What is Fergulator?

With Fergulator, you simply enter the amount that you have in your bankroll and the program will tell you:

  • The maximum you can safely pay to enter a MTT or SNG.
  • The maximum that you can safely take to a cash game table.
  • The maximum you should sit with at a cash table after you have won a few pots.

How to use Fergulator.

Just enter the amount you have in your bankroll, choose the game type that you want to play in and hit 'Go'.

Fergulator results explained.

Fergulator outputs the maximum amount that you can sit with in different types of games. However, as you can see from the example above with our $600 bankroll, there are not going to be many (if any) $30NL cash games for us to play at.

In this example, $30 is the maximum amount that you should sit with at a cash game table. If you're playing in standard 100BB games, the biggest game that's within this limit is $25NL. When your stack at this $25NL table then exceeds $63.33 you should leave and buy in at another table for $25.

Note: You do not necessarily have to buy in for 100BBs in every game you play. For example, you could buy in for $10 in $50NL games with a $200 bankroll and stay within the guidelines. However, I would advise that you buy in for the maximum (within the guidelines) as it encourages good post flop play.

The key idea is to just stay within these maximum limits for cash games and tournaments. Do this and you will be just fine.

Lastly, why the leave table at figure? This is because Ferguson's final rule (see below) is as follows:

If at any time during a No-Limit or Pot-Limit cash-game session the money on the table represents more than 10 percent of my total bankroll, I must leave the game when the blinds reach me.

So the 'leave table at' amount represents 10% of your total bankroll at that point in the session. The logic behind leaving at this threshold is that you have more money on the table than you can afford to risk.
