Poker is nothing but a game of chance. The result can be either a win or a loss. The game is played with a motive to win. Everything can be lost if luck does not favor so a track of bankroll should be maintained which could prevent the players from heavy losses. The payroll can be nothing but a simple excel file recording all wins and losses. This track would help us avoid taking guesses by analyzing the way we play, our winning patterns and it helps to keep a track of our opponents.

The track of bankroll should be maintained by jotting down all the activities after each session. The record maintained would help us find a relation between two games that are played hourly and we can draw the conclusion accordingly. If someone has the knowledge of the amount of money, he can bet he can say no for further games and avoid bankruptcy. Maintaining a bankroll should be important for aggressive players who like quick move up and dip. Recorded data gives handy information on where, when, and why money disappeared from an account. It gives the player an idea of how much money was won and lost on each trip thereby giving a better idea of an individual’s habit due to which betting would be more accurate.

Finally, it does not matter whether the game is online or offline maintaining the track of bankroll would be very useful and make the game better.
