Default Re: What if Online Poker Left and your Money disappeard?

You should never leave most of your net worth online, ever! I learnt this the hard way, did a money transfer with a guy a couple years ago. Turned out that the money he sent me was from a stolen CC and they froze my account and confiscated everything, cause they said I was in on it. I had most of my $$ online and had built it from scratch, took me 2 years to get back to where I was.

These sites don't just have to close shop for you to lose your money. They can confiscate your money for whatever reason they deem reaonable, and you can't do anything about it. So don't leave more than you need online. You don't need the 30 or 40 buyins to play your limit in the accout. Cash out regularly and put it in a seperate savings account meant for your roll, and reload from there if necessary.
