Is conservative bankroll management overrated?

[Bawse]

I think strong bankroll management is underrated. Discipline should be a primary focus if you’re trying to achieve long-term success at the tables.

Thoughts?

Calling discipline overrated is how people empty their balance very quickly. I once relaxed my limits thinking my skill would cover up for it, but it didn't go the way I planned it. Structure is what keeps you in the game for a long term, not confidence. People underrate patience until losses start stacking, then reality sets in.

I don't think it is overrated, but it can feel slow or restrictive depending on your goals. Conservative bankroll management protects you from variance, which is very real in poker. It reduces the chance of going broke and gives you more emotional stability, especially for newer players.

Perhaps! I see some people acting like they need 50 buy-ins to play $1/$2. That's overkill for a winning player with. But going crazy the other way is also worse. You need to find a middle ground you're comfortable with. Just don't lie to yourself about being a winner when you're not.
