Use a Poker Bonus to Help Build Your Bank Roll

If you want to get really serious about building your poker bank roll online, then it is a smart decision to look for a good poker bonus that will help you build it up faster with good, tight-aggressive poker play.

Building your bank roll as a poker player takes a lot of time, effort and discipline. One helpful ingredient is getting a good poker bonus that can be given to you by the online poker room.

A poker bonus can be given to a player in a number of ways; it can either be given as a gift straight away when you down load the online poker room's software. Or it may be gradually released over time when you start playing at the tables and earning points for each hand you play. Some rooms may require you to play between 500 - 1000 hands of play at a limit of 25 cent - 50 cent level, before releasing part of or the entire poker bonus.

Before you choose a poker room, you will need to take into account what size bonus you would like, as well as how many people play at the specific poker room and whether you feel comfortable with the play.

Some rooms have excellent playability, lots of players, but then they have a very low poker bonus offer of $50 -$100. Whereas other poker rooms have very high poker bonus offers of $600 or up to $2000, but do not have that many players and may require you to play 1000s of hands in a shorter time to release the money to your online account.

You need to read as many of the poker room reviews as possible, touching on all these matters before you decide which one is best for you.

Another factor you need to take into account is that most rooms offer the bonus with a 100% deposit requirement before they consider what amount you will get as a poker bonus.

An example is when you see a poker room offer you up to $500 as a poker bonus for a 100% deposit. This means in order for you to get that $500 bonus you will need to deposit $500 of your money into the poker room and then complete their requirements. This may affect how big you would want to start especially if you have limited funds to build your poker bankroll.

If you start smaller and only deposit $100, Depending on the room, they will release you another $100 once you have completed the hands needed. This way you can still start small if that better fits your budget.

With your poker bankroll you will need to make sure that you are playing at a level that will give you enough buy ins. This way you will not risk your whole roll just to try and get the bonus. It doesn't make sense to buy into a poker room with $500 in order to get a 100% bonus of another $500. And then play on a $5 -$10 no limit game to lose your whole bank roll in the first couple of hands.

You would be better to use $50 of the $500 that you bought in with, to play on a lower limit game of 25 cent - 50 cent. This way you are only risking 10% of your poker bank roll, and ensuring you play good tight-aggressive poker, you can grind away and still comfortably get your poker bonus.

The main goal here is to still play poker correctly and Manage Your Poker Bank Roll. As long as you do that, you will receive your poker bonus before you know it and add it your existing bankroll.
