Makes sense if you are a pro as if you go bust your poker career is done. If you are making, say, 100k a year and you are not over-spending, you can easily budget 1000$ and refill if you bust. In effect, that is a budget, not a bankroll.
However, most of the poker community do not want people to play with bill and food money or to scrap their finances playing poker, hence why it is still pushed to consider that money a "bankroll" and good BR is highly recommended.
So... I SHOULD stop using tomorrows grocery money for Poker?
Damn, well I'm glad at least someone told me. I'll start saving up to start a proper Bank Roll. I'm just bored and don't want to wait
I'm sure most of us have been in my shoes.
