    <p>Very useful information but...I want to ask something...I read many poker strategies, many poker advices, poker formulas and so on...If all poker players (or let's say many of them) know all this things then all players should win at the tables. I'm a new poker player and until now i play just for test my knowledge and skills. I want to start playing more seriously and that's the reason that i read many poker articles and strategies...there are so many information on the internet so I'm a little bit confused about how to start. My opinion is that poker game is 50% luck and 50% skills (and when i say skills i mean: poker knowledge, aggressivity, patience and a clean mind)...</p>

    <p>Interesting question asked above about Turbos - I have to say that Turbos can be significantly higher variance and therefore you should definately give yourself a bigger bankroll if you plan to play Turbos or especially Super Turbos.</p>
    <p>Personally I find them a great way to erase a bankroll if you hit a rough patch. What are the OPs thoughts on Bankroll Management for Turbos/SuperTurbos?</p>

    <p>Definitely very basic advice. I've done a lot more research in to the mathematics behind bankroll management and I put a bunch of that stuff in to some calculators at bankrolltools.com There is an income estimator too, which helps you understand how much money you can make at various games. If the chart above is too basic, or you are looking for information on different games, stop by the site and take a look. </p>

    For NL what is a buy in? Will a buy in be 100xBB? So for .50/$1.00 Nl a buy in would be $100 and to play at .50/1.00 you would need $1500 min. Also do we use the same buy in amounts for FR and 6 max
