First and foremost, there are some good suggestions out there for money management systems and if they make sense, then they will probably work over the course of time. If not, dont try them out.

Secondly, it is worth your time to have a system of some sort in place or you shouldnt gamble in the first instance. If you dont carefully manage your money in the games you play, the games will quickly manage it for you!

In online poker rooms, you will notice several Hit and Run players scattered throughout the ring games at any given time. They come into the game with $25 and leave with $50 or they come in with $100 and leave after winning just one large pot.

It is method many people have used for years in the bricks and mortar casinos in numerous games other than poker. It is called the Hit and Run technique because it involved jumping into the game and back out as soon as anything resembling a profit is realised.

In blackjack, you will see this technique in action quite frequently. A particular gambler will play the game consistently well, yet must grab whatever profit they can before escaping to the next unsuspecting casino. The gambler is clever enough to realise that if they stay and play in one place for too long, the casino will eventually win back the marginally small profit. So why be greedy when there are plenty of other untapped sources to move on to?

Another reason for the hit and run way of managing your money is to avoid any significant losses. Stay with what you normally wager and if you are a $10 per hand gambler, dont switch to $25. If you lose three hands in a row then walk away rather than chase your losses.

When using the Hit and Run always remember where you won, so you can do it again in a few days. Dont try to go right back and do the same thing within the same day , the game will be armed and ready for you and the hit you managed the first time wont be a repeater!
