Sir,

Doesn neteller count as online.

If so, i keep my entire roll online (so, 30-40 buy ins for my "main" game). once it leaves neteller though, it doesn't come back.

Id say yes it counts as online.

Me personally, I withdraw to neteller at the end of the month then take a cheque immediately. I have an Interest savings account I keep my roll in.

But I guess for all of you who keep your roll on neteller, answer what you beleive is nessasary to keep on your regular site.

Why, when all the money is just a couple of clicks away? I think people who treat their "roll" as "money I have on site X" really don't understand the concept of bankroll. Bankroll = money you are willing to gamble (play poker) with. If you keep $200 in site X but are willing to deposit up to $1000 more if you lose that $200, your bankroll is $1200, not $200.

That being said, my Neteller is like my business account and I withdraw to my personal funds on regular basis (to pay rent, buy food), and give myself bonuses.

Recently I cleared out most of it because I wanted to take advantage of interest, but I still keep over 70 buy-ins online to be able to take advantage of bonus whoring opportunities and just to feel safe because that's when having a downswing of 5 buyins hardly matters at all.

EDIT: oh, and I play .5/1NL, so 70 buyins isn't that much money.

I chose "entire bankroll" but I keep my live game winnings on hand for casinos and home games. I haven't moved money from one category to the other yet.

Re: Bankroll Poll
 

You need 20-30, 30-40 and 50+ in your options. I tend to keep between 10-20 per site I play regularly and the rest in either Neteller or my bank account.

Thats what I do with all the money Im withdrawing. Live games are so soft its unbelievable. You just need to come up with the proper roll before you play.

Last vacation I watched some $5/$5 NL. What a fish pond.


42it - Thanks for the response. With out fixing the poll it looks like every keeps a big roll.

Thanks everyone.

Re: Bankroll Poll
 

If you will never deposit, then what you have online is your entire roll and having more offline is irrelevant.

I play a very LAG 6max game, so it's not uncommon to drop a couple buyins pretty quickly (nor to win a couple pretty quickly). I'd turn hella weak-tight if I only had 10 buyins.

In contrast, my bankroll management is actually quite conservative. I won't play with fewer than 50 buyins in my roll (but will have far, far fewer on one individual site).

[/ QUOTE ] Yes exactly. I should of just said I withdraw it for spending money. I think I just made the post more confusing.

Thanks for the feedback.

Most people, myself included, have a "bankroll" that is not exclusively online and definitely not all on one site.

I may play with only 5 buyins on one site; but that doesn't make my bankroll 5 buyins, as I have money elsewhere I can draw on if needed.

My entire roll is split between an interest bearing bank account, Neteller, and various poker sites.

IF you dont mind me hijacking a bit, Id like to ask a question of crowd. What is your "withdrawal strategy" assuming you are withdrawing some of your profit on a semi regular basis?

Re: Bankroll Poll
 

I voted for I don't practice bankroll management, do you see why?

My withdrawals could better be described as semi-random.

I just let it pile up until I'm way over-bankrolled for limits I'm comfortable playing, then I cash a bunch of it out.

Since switching to NL, I've cashed out all but $5k and am building that back up through play/bonuses.

Think I might switch to a "cashing half my profits" strategy once I get to $10k and start playing NL$200.
