Hammered Burt 0 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Was finally getting somewhere w/ my BR, but had to use nearly all of it to pay off a credit card bill... I understan it's bad to carry a balance, but you've got to have some money (in your BR) to make money right??? Link to post Share on other sites

I understan it's bad to carry a balance, but you've got to have some money (in your BR) to make money right???It's better that you handle your financial obligations (rent, bills, debt, etc) before you worry about a bankroll. That being said, congratulations on not being a degenerate and taking care of your responsibilities. Link to post Share on other sites
XXEddie 0 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 if you had to take MOST of your BR out to pay a bill, maybe you should quit playing Link to post Share on other sites

GWCGWC 83 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 What's the point of having a BR if you don't cash some of it out occationally?You should know the games/limits you can beat and be able to play short rolled at these limits. Link to post Share on other sites
Actuary 3 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 What's the point of having a BR if you don't cash some of it out occationally?One should/could be regularly taking some money out, i.e. income.Hopefully an amount that does not exceed their average earnings.This seems like a case of a major withdrawWhen you deplete the roll forcing you to play lower stakes, you cost yourself.

EurekaKid 0 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 While yes it is okay to withdraw SOME of your bankroll from time to time, to me if you are needing money set aside to play poker to pay bills you shouldn't be playing poker. Link to post Share on other sites
