You're never risking your whole bankroll in one game, right? You're smarter than that, right?

I'm an experienced player who understands variance, and since I have no money in real life I am a total bankroll nit. No worries.

Do you play at the same card barn every time?

I'd say about nine of ten sessions are at the same cardroom.

Can you safely deposit that much money into a banking account and get it out or.....if not, its cool, I know many people who cannot have banking accounts.

Actually, I'm not 100% sure they'll let me get a bank account, but I think I'm in the clear now (fingers crossed).

My major concern is access. Are there accounts that will let me withdraw more than a couple hundred dollars by ATM?

If you are paying taxes on it already ... I don't see any reasons you couldn't pump it through to Emigrant/ING and leave it earning 4% or so.

This will be the first year I have to pay taxes on live winnings. I've always paid my taxes on my online winnings, and I plan on staying on the up-and-up with the IRS.

So it looks like some combination of these might be best for me. Something like 5 BIs in a box at my regular room for easy access, another 5 BIs at home for trips to other rooms, and the rest in an Emigrant account where its a week away, but still earning a little interest.

Some specific questions. How much does a box at a casino usually cost? Does anyone know of a bank with unusually high ATM limits?

Keep 'em coming. I like hearing how others deal with this.
