    If I wanted to play more than one type of game, should I have separate bankrolls?
    Like if I'm playing $20 sng's, but I want to start playing $3/6 LHE ring games, should I have a strictly separate bankroll for each? Or is there some way to do this efficiently?

    Anybody else have a mixture of games they play regularly?

    a bankroll is what you have that is devoted or available to play poker with. If you divide it up just don't lose site of your productivity. In other words, you should be focusing most of your time and play where you have the best results.

    You should have one bankroll, and keep good records, however if you do three bankrolls for three games, it will triple-protect you from ruin. The only downside is that you may not move up as fast in limits as you potentially could.

    i really don't have any preference over limit, sng's, etc. but i really just want to build up a bankroll as quickly/efficiently as i can (i know it'll take forever either way)
