Question:    My question relates to bankroll and tournament buy-ins. I regularly play in low buy-in pot limit holdem tournaments, and take the occasional shot in a slightly bigger event (up to £100 buy-in). How do you decide on how many buy-ins you should limit yourself to, in relation to the prize money and your bankroll? This is an important question for me since I play only tournaments, so I am trying to turn a profit from them?

Answer:    When playing in a poker tournament in an online casino, if you want to show a profit at the end of the year, one or two re-buys are enough. I know guys who are successful in small poker tournaments by following this guideline. Guys who have, and take advantage of unlimited re-buys, frequently go broke.
