Teach them bankroll management

Bankroll management is one of the most important skills in poker. Even if you are the best player in the world you will go broke if you play with your entire bankroll on the table.

It may not seem as exciting as playing for every penny in their free bankroll, but if your friend wants to make it as a player they need to understand this rule more than anything else in the beginning.

There are lots of resources available for understanding bankroll management, but as a sheer minimum make sure they never play with more than 10% of their money on the table at any one time.

And if they bust their roll....

If your friend does end up losing it all, there are a number of other free poker money offers, as well as daily and weekly freerolls they can play which are exclusive to PokerStrategy.com.
