Definition

Bankroll Management is a series of guidelines designed to help safeguard a bankroll from tilt, variance, and bad play. In ring games, coin flips can occur where we have only a slight edge in a hand when all the money goes in. Occasionally we will lose these flips and need to have a large enough bankroll to support these losses so that we can continue to get our money in with small edges as well as big ones.

Example

A good bankroll management plan for beginners is to start out with 20 buy-ins at 2nl and move up when you have 25 buy-ins for 5nl. The amount required increases as you move up in stakes.
