Royal Flush
My wife isn't a poker enthusiast. She doesn't like the risk that is associated with poker. Four to five years ago I started a bankroll. Simple, all my winnings go into it. All my losses come out of it. This includes poker supplies (minus the table), chips, cards, ect....
The vast majority of my games played are low stakes. $40-$60 dollar tourneys once a month and .25/.50 cash games with a $60-$100 buy in. On a rare occasion we will play for a little more.
My bankroll started at 20 bucks. I took it to 3k and back down to 500 pretty damn quickly. I wasn't practicing proper management. I would play a 1/2 game, take 500 with me and only have 1500 in the bankroll.
I had a decent run over about 1.5 years and took it from 800 to 6k (won two tourney's that paid 1k each, one was a 119 charity tourney, one was a 9 player League Championship game). I did have a rough June and lost about 1k total in 4 different sessions.
Bankroll sits at 5500 right now. Anything over 5200 is getting earmarked for my Sunset chip set. I want to just say fuck it, dip into my BR to purchase the set as soon as J5 comes up with the design. That isn't proper damn BR Management.
This thread is kind of to go over my BR history roller coaster while at the same time hoping you guys talk me down from taking 20% out and buying more chips right now (I know I know, wrong place to ask for help).
Do you use a Bankroll? What is your BR management discipline?
