Paying down debt is a form of saving money. Essentially you are investing in a $9K bond with a high interest rate. The fact that you issued the bond a few years ago is not important.

$26K is too much money for a 10/20 player to have sitting on a poker site, especially when you don't have much other money. PokerStars has a great reputation but you shouldn't confuse it with a bank. Something could go wrong at any time and you would be in a nearly desperate situation. Plus you are earning no return on investment for the excess portion of your bankroll.

This is something im curious about....

Ive been leaving most of my money on poker stars bceause I figure theres a significant cost depositing money if I have a huge downswing.

What do the high stakes players do? How do they go about withdrawling/despositing large sums of money?
Do the people playing the 1k$/2k$ limit games have a million dollars lying around on their poker stars accounts?
that seems so risky...

A problem for me is that I want to multi-site, but its kind of biatch moving money around while avoiding the hassle/charges associated with it..

For example, imagine I have only 10k$ on stars and 10k$ on two other sites. Then imagine I go on a big downswing and lose 6k$ at stars.

Even though my total roll is still 14k$, its pretty awkward 4 tabling 10/20 when I know my roll might run out on one site.. so im essentially forced to transfer money from one site to the other... blunting my ability to game select.

I Should figure a way to transfer between all these sites without any cost...

Thanks for the words all... I was surprised at the unanimous conclusion.. I figured a few people would say "wtf, dont be a pussy, move up".
