It is important to consider, in advance of the actual playing, what amount of money is appropriate to risk in a given game at any given time. Not only the correct amount of money to buy in, but the amount that is suitable to "go for" during the play in question, that is, the amount of additional rebuys or add-ons.</p> </div> </div> <div class="block-layout-builder"> <ul class="links inline"><li><a href="/beginners-poker/how-much-risk" rel="tag" title="How Much to Risk" hreflang="en">Read more<span class="visually-hidden"> about How Much to Risk</span></a></li></ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div> <div class="views-row"> <article data-history-node-id="59" class="node"> <header> <h2> <a href="/beginners-poker/learning-experience" rel="bookmark"> <span>Learning from Experience</span> </a> </h2> </header> <div class="content"> <div class="layout layout--onecol"> <div class="layout__region layout__region--content"> <div class="block-layout-builder"> <div class="beginners_poker_lessons__body"><p> We have now talked a little bit about some of the things that you will need to know to comfortably get into a poker game in a public venue.
