How Often Do You Enjoy Your Profit????

edited March 2010 in Poker Chat
My recent spin up of my TKO freebie money got me thinking. I decided after taking £25 Tko money to £500 that im going to cash a huge chunk of it off. I'm determind not to play all those hours and not enjoy the money. I've always cashed off big tournament wins or good cash runs that i've built as i play for fun and the extra money makes for luxarys for the Mrs & kids that i otherwise would not be buying them.

My daughters birthday comes up on the 19th and im pleased and proud to say she'll be having an extra special one from the money i've won.

I wondered how often players on the site cash off there profit to enjoy in their "Real" lives or is it all about bankroll building for you future Phil Iveys lol

    hi m8y ,

               i think i may be different to most of the players on here,
           
               when it comes to br management .

               over the past 3 years i tend to build up my br and withdraw

               for luxuries for the kids / irene doors and myself .

               in total i have withdrawn 7.5k thereabouts.

               bought myself and irene doors laptops,
     
               bought myself wide screen tv [ which the kids don't let me watch lol ]

               the kids have got ds, wii and other bits and bobs .
         
               my br payed for hols in spain also .

               two rules i have with my br are ,

               i always leave 100 quid in ,

               and never play with more then 2 o/o br in the one game .

               i do find the monthly tenner i invest in sharkscope,
     
               a great money spinner !

               hope this don't come across as a brag ,

               its just to show new players,
     
               what you can do if you don't want to play high stakes

               and have fun with the winnings instead .


               rover and withdraw out lol !

    Im much the same as you Irish. I have no illusions of being a high stakes player in my life so when i turn a decent profit which i manage to do here and other sites i like to spend it. From a lot of the converastions you see through the forum you can sometimes get the impression from people that they are all beavering away just trying to grind a bankroll to play higher. I was interested to see if i was the only one who actually liked to spend this money were all clamouring to get :)

    The money on at the moment has been spun up with an absolute disregard to BR managment lol but having done it i'm going to enjoy it and repay the wife and kids for me ignoring them for the last 2 weeks while i did this lol

    The spin up isn't over yet, i'll leave myself a couple of hundred and see what i can do with that but i find there its nice to look around my house at all the c r a p my wife has bought and think "well at least i didn't have to work to buy that" lol

    I used to start at £10 and build up to about £60, then draw  out and build up again. However, if i feel that the cards are bad and i'm having a bad run, i withdraw the lot, wait a week or so and reload, with £10 (which has happened a few times).

    Reading a lot about BR mangment lately and have decided to try not to withdraw any. From my last reload of £30 in Nov09,  i'm up about £240. Not looking to draw just yet though or not until i hit the £300 or £400 mark.

    Onwards and upwards, (i hope)

    i work on much the same principle as this! although my last deposit was on the 9th feb for a tenner, BR is at £90 at the moment and have drawn £45! all a bit random to be honest and roll managment defo isnt my strongest point! but the beer always tastes sweeter when its free!haha! no flat screen tvs or lap tops just yet though! haha!

    Men's clothes are considerably cheaper than women's clothes. To save money simply stop buying all those women's clothes James.

    Just stay away from ebay... that's all I'm saying... always find something you want to buy lol!

    I recently brought a new semi-acoustic guitar for £600, as well as a very expensive golf bag setup..... but then again I have to withdraw to pay bills etc!

    I tend to have a bankroll target, once I reach that I cash anything over that out. Not always to buy luxuries, normally to either top up the bank account or to play live events. I try and put some into another account to save up for our wedding, but that always gets used on things. Just this week I bought myself a new computer which was pretty pricey but hopefully that means now I can play more games I can turn over a bigger profit.
