I've been reading a lot of threads saying how much people have lost moving up from 25NL to 50NL and having to go back down. For me, I played about 10,000 hands at 25NL and basically got crushed, had a BB/100 of about -3. I either constantly got sucked out or had QQ to KK or KK to AA. So I decided to test out 50NL, I've played 7,500 hands, have a BB/100 of about 5 and I'm winning pretty consistantly. I was now wondering how I should go about cashing out. I've been currently managing a bankroll of about 15 buyins and cashing anything above. Does anyone have some good ways to go about cashing your roll, and even still having it grow?

well I think your bankroll managent is pretty poor but to answer your question I think just getting a check is by far the best method. I know pstars does this, not sure about other sites but I would hope they do too

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT USE EPASSPORTE. THEY ARE TERRIBLE PEOPLE RUNNING A TERRIBLE BUSINESS.
No need to involve another party anyway, IMO. Seriously though, epassporte sucks

Why is epassporte terrible? That is currently the company I am using. Yeah my br management is pretty low, I should have more than 15 buyins, but I stay at this limit and always cut my losses when I'm down, so it works fine with me

epassporte sucks balls b/c they work fine until they eventually completely **** you. I wrote a whole thing about it once, I don't have the link though. Basically they held onto a lot of my money for a really long time and during this time their customer service was insanely bad, they flat-out lied to me, and I basically had to raise an army to get them to give me any respect.
I vowed to highly recommend everyone discontinue using them. It isn't out of spite either. If you want to keep using them go ahead and other people definitely do but as a member of this forum giving advice to my peers I truly believe you will be much better off not dealing with them

But like I said, if you can get a check/wire transfer there is no reason to pay all the transactions fees and involve a middle man at all, no matter what the company

Can't you just request a physical check?

Arer there any issues requesting a check directly from an online poker site as a US resident? I wouldn't want to compromise the security of our nation's ports!

I play mostly at FT, and I use epass. Never had any problems. Getting their credit card/debit card is really convienent. Then again, I never moved more than 1k at a time. Check probably safer for larger sums.

I think it's smart to cash out frequently. It leaves you with something to show for the time put in the game. I cash out every Friday. About 75% of my profits is moved to my checking account ---> savings account. I use the other 25% for padding my bankroll for the next limit. Sure it will take me a long time to move up, but for someone who has tilty tendencies it's better for my health and bankroll.

This is one of the best things I have heard lately. You know your tendencies and are doing something proactive to combat them-good job.
