Should i quit playing?
 

I took my crappy 50k bankroll to vagas and I've won 650k in 6 months and im starting to think i'm just lucky. I havent played for a few weeks trying to gather my thoughts. Should i take my winnings and buy a house or should i just roll the dice and continue?

mutually exclusive, obv.

Re: Should i quit playing?
 

ummm why do u think its luck if u ran it so high? if u dont think ur good i wouldnt risk it all. If u play well tho maybe ur a great player

Re: Should i quit playing?
 

I know im a good player but not at the highest limits. Have to be realistic here. I hear all these horror stories of people going bust and i dont want that to happen.

Re: Should i quit playing?
 

Right now im thinkin of buying a house for 400k and using what's left as my bankroll. This way i'll be comfortable playing fulltime with very little risk involved.

i am assuming this is bs/a troll, but i''l play.......how did you win the money? tourney score? cash games?

Re: Should i quit playing?
 

if your not comfortable playing the stakes you were once playing, don't go back. Investing in a home is a great option. Do that! Worse comes to worse, sell the home later for more...enjoy your 200k roll! (200k-ish)

Re: Should i quit playing?
 

Thanks for the response and just wanted some others opinions.

whatever dude im not a troll.

Re: Should i quit playing?
 

Before you go buying a 400K house planning a 250K bankroll, you may want to remember that you're going to have to pay taxes on that 600K in profit... I think the IRS will notice if you buy a house for 400K in cash!

Congratulations on your good luck. FWIW, I would definitely buy the house and try to work my way back up through the limits again.

Im canadian and i heard we get a huge chunk of money back with the taxes we paid. I know the lotto winners in canada dont pay taxes on their winnings.

If you're going to buy a 400k house, the IRS is going to want its cut.
