Welcome to My Substack: Mastering Bankroll Management & Game Selection in High-Stakes Poker
Hello and welcome!
I’m Felix Dahlke, and I’m thrilled to launch this Substack as a platform to share my insights and experiences in the world of high-stakes poker, specifically focusing on bankroll management and game selection.
A Bit About Me
With over 19 years immersed in professional poker, I’ve navigated the intense arenas of high-stakes heads-up (HU) play since 2005. My journey has been complemented by a solid academic foundation in Economics and Industrial Engineering, equipping me with the analytical tools to excel both at the tables and in the financial strategies behind the scenes.
From 2015 to 2020, I served as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO/CTO) at BitB Staking, where I spearheaded bankroll operations, implemented advanced organizational systems, and drove significant profit growth. My role involved developing robust bankroll management strategies, optimizing game selection through mathematical models, and managing backend infrastructures to ensure seamless and secure financial operations.
