Default Re: Keeping My Entire Bankroll on a Site

put the money you take out into a specific high interest account or a specific mutual fund and still consider it a part of your bankroll. For limit, I'd probably keep 500 BB in there at all times and then just withdraw anything above that (300 could probably work but you'd be very likely to have to redeposit sometime soon).

Up until now, I've considered my BR to be what's online. I recently switched to NL from limit, so moving up became a factor of skill, comfort, and profitability since ROR became a non-issue for several levels.

I'm now playing NL400, and intend to leave 15k on the internet (so I have 25 buy-ins for NL600). Thus, if I move up to 600 and experience a 10 buy-in downswing, I can still be fully operational without redepositing.

Psychologically, it's all the same for now... my only reservation is that I've never done an EFT transfer into party and it would feel odd depositing like $5k from my bank account since I haven't made a deposit from "real" money since a $100 deposit 18 months ago.

I'll have to hit a downswing before I have any feedback there. I already feel a lot better that my money is more secure (no hacker paranoia) and earning interest (well, index fund went down 0.7% on the first day, BUT STILL!)

edit: I guess when you say "enough" for a certain limit, it's a subjective thing. For me, I'm a student with no expenses so my bankroll makes up > 50% of my net worth and I take a very conservative, professional approach to it (as my only source of income, and I have property purchasing prospects for the future). I wouldn't recommend having less than 300BB online though, especially for 6m, especially since it'll take a few days to redeposit, and as you probably know, 100BB can dissapear in seconds.
