Here are the 3 golden bankroll management rules that you have to follow. These are taken out of the Chris Jesus Ferguson’s post where he wrote all the details about his challenge:
1. Never ever get into a cash game or SNG tournament where the buy in is more than 5% of the entire bankroll that you have. You can break this rule in case your bankroll is very small and you are going to play a Sit and Go or cash game where the buy in is lower than $2.5
2. Don’t join a MTT (Multi Table Tournament) where the buy in is higher than 2% of your current bankroll. By not risking you will be able to keep a lot of your money intact. This rule applies unless the buy in at the tournament lower than $1.
3. In case you have managed to win at a cash game and your money that you have at the table represents more than 10% of your online poker bankroll, then you should cash out of that table the moment the blinds are going to reach you.

And remember that it took Chris Ferguson, which is one of the greatest poker players in the world 1 year in order to reach $10k from $0 by applying these rules.
