Let me start off by saying that I am not an expert on poker bankroll management. There are plenty of good resources out there, for determining exactly how much money you should have available for whatever type/level of game you intend to play. Instead, I’m going to share a few personal mistakes from a “normal” guy who plays relatively low stakes...

I love sunsets, and since my house is right in the Honolulu International airport approach path, we constantly have planes overhead.
