I believe being conservative with your bankroll is in your best interest, losses sting less when you’re only risking a small portion of it. I always encourage players to stay strict with their bankroll management.

Do you think a more aggressive approach is better?
 
Nah, too much aggression early in bankroll building can destroy your confidence very fast. I tried pushing limits once, entering spots above my comfort, telling myself growth needs risk and it ended badly. A slow and steady build may look boring, but it keeps you in the game. Reckless approach just shortens the journey, it’s as simple as that.
 
I think you should be selectively aggressive, not constantly aggressive.
When building a bankroll, the real edge comes from two things, one, a good game selection and two, avoiding unnecessary risk.
 
If you're okay reloading, take more shots. If every dollar counts, slow and boring wins. I tried being aggressive early on and busted twice. Now I'm more patient. Learn from my mistakes or make your own, just don't lie to yourself about the risk.

Hey all. I've been playing mobile poker apps (PPPoker, X-Poker,PokerBros, ClubGG) for a couple of years, mostly in Asian clubs.Built a comparison directory at poker-catalog where I track rakebackrates, club traffic, and agent reliability. Happy to answerquestions about the mobile poker world — it's a niche mosttraditional poker players don't know much about.
