So my bank-roll is a steady 7-8k, I keep it at that value so I have 10x 800s for 2-4 games....anything I make on top is just spending money, and have been that way for a good long while now, I ended up 600 down last night so my roll is currently at 6940.... I will take 50% of profits until it gets to 8k again....That's what I always do, so the money in this pot is not part of my dedicated roll, if you want to think of it that way? I'm not doing this as a job, so I dont worry about diligent br management because if I bust, the mortgage gets paid and the kids still eat, and I start again trying to spin up from 200 on the 1-2 tables....
The money lost last night would have been just money to burn up on meals out, car parts and drink if you want to think of it that way.....it was just alot of meals, drinks and parts.....
Maybe I think about this all wrong, but the money I get from poker goes on enjoying myself, I don't sit in a casino for 8hours to squirrel away some money into a br incase someone decides to double straddle, or incase a 2-5 game opens for the first time ever...
