Buy a house or have a roll?

[gakn29]

I have had a very up and down last 3 months. Big time really. Playing anywhere from 2/4NL upto 50/100NL. On the year at my high point I was up around 175k and now Im probly around 120k for the year. How many of you advocate me withdrawing 80-90% of my roll so I can put a downpayment on a nice house. This would leave me with 10-20k as I havent decided how much id leave online. Has anyone else done this? If so how did you find returning to lower stakes on a small roll? I really would like some input as Im sure Im not the only one to have this idea.

Side notes, Im 21 years old, no real people job and a terrible worthless degree Im only half done.

100k is a huge downpayment, bro

20% is solid

You sound like a total donk who has been on an insane rush and are now starting to experience some variance. Getting your money out of poker and into a firm asset may be the best thing for your future.

not when you're 21 with no job and an income derived from your poker bankroll, which doesn't seem to be managed very well. I'd say definetly withdraw a lot.

if your going to come to MSNL for adivce on what is probably the biggest financial decision of your young life, then you at least need to make a poll

Withdraw down to 10k and play 1-2nl, and use the rest to PAY YOUR TAXES and make a down payment on a reasonable house and save money set aside for house payments and other bills.
