To all the people who say you should just keep your BR at the casino, Wouldn't you want to keep as much of it as you can in a high intrest savings account? Just seems like the rest of your BR that you might not be using at the moment could be making you a little extra money.

I definitely would never keep my roll at the casinos for one main reason besides it doesn't yield any interest. I have taken a shot in the 5-10 and 10-25 NL games there approximately 10 times and have yet to lose in those games. I can definitely beat thos games I just don't have the roll for it. I would be too tempted to take a shot if I had 30 Gs sitting 5 minutes away from that game.

i think it really depends. i played live for like 6 months and at first i didn't keep a lock box, but there were a few guys who would come in and just donate chips, and i had to leave the game a couple times and I absolutely hated myself for it. After that, as a general rule I tried to leave a little more in my lock box just in case.

I never got to the point where I could play my A game all the time. But I did get really good at knowing when I was off my game and tried to adjust accordingly. I did have a stop loss as well, though it was higher than 3, but i did allow myself exceptions if a few conditions had been met.
