Bankroll Management: Do You Practice It? (1 Viewer)

But if you keep the bankroll separate from spending money, it becomes obvious whether it's growing, or you're making deposits. For this reason, I prefer my players not have bankrolls

Inevitably this also becomes the home ATM, when my wife needs cash for something.

Oh yeah this for sure!!! Drives me nucking futs, but it isn't like I can say no...

Which is another reason for the bank account :

I keep a totally separate poker bankroll. I used to just keep cash at home, but when it got above 2 digits to the left of the comma I decided to open a poker bank account. I pay for all my chips and poker related expenses out of this bankroll. It feels good that I earned all my chips playing poker.

I haven't had a 5 figure bank roll in 9 years. I miss those days. On the other hand, I took my winnings from '03-'06 and payed for a PhD and a car, so I figure my job owes my poker life some money back.

Reviving a necro thread, but this is my solution to that problem:

Last session I brought my $500 home in $25 chips as well as buy some $25's from a friend before he cashed out..

This way it stays in the poker roll and cannot be siphoned from also makes it easier to buy in at the table!

I am in a similar situation with a wife that doesn't like the money risked at all, so I need to keep a separate roll of $ outside of household income for my 'hobby'. When she saw the ~$1050 in poker chips, I said that's my poker bankroll, and her response? "Where the hell did you get THAT money??".... umm I won it honey LOL

I will be slowly adding to the bankroll with some cash side jobs, I want at least $3k but more is better as I move up through 1/2 into 2/5. I'm taking part in RedChipPoker and will likely become a PRO member soon to really dive into training videos and strategy to improve quickly... I am only able to play 4-5 hours per week so I have lots of time for learning.
