its just random for me, all about keeping focus. I relax too easily, so to focus myself - everytime I feel my concentration slipping, I withdraw to an amount in my account that will give me no choice but to win.
Sometimes, I have withdrawn several times in a day, even as little as winning a £20 pot, and withdrawing £10 of it straight away.
Its not withdrawing for the sake of money for me though, its all about making sure I keep making it !
A note on ebay....I look at it so often - its massive - there must be something on there for me....but I never buy owt!!! what do u guys buy????
....I havent played a games console since super mario and donkey kong on the snes! maybe I shud buy myself one. Very tempted.
In Response to How Often Do You Enjoy Your Profit???? : You sir are a star !!! ..THAT IS REAL bankroll management .. Everyone take note, win it and enjoy it ! and ... Irish Rover, same thing .... Tomorrow you might not have money to play poker BUT so what, there will be another day, another game .. Today we will be Kings !! Posted by bennydip2
Love the photo Benny lol !!!! Classic
And Cheers for your kind words. I thought i'd pose the question as all anyone seems to go on about on here is bankroll building and managment, the next game , the stakes you can afford to play etc etc but i thought there must be more out there like me that just like to win a bit in order to enjoy the money
you have to enjoy the money or it is pointless playing, in febuary i withdrew £1600 and have taken £400 off this month, i wanted to move up in stakes but had a change of heart. if i moved upto 1/2 a bad session can see you 6 buyins down and i cant get my head around losing £1200 in a few hours. so i have decided to stick at 50/1 and keep 25 buyins on my account and withdaw £300 when i hit 28 buyins.

Don't you enjoy playing?
And if you get enjoyment from playing, isn't that the point of it?
I tend to spend all my live winnings on myself, but use my online winnings just to play at higher stakes (which I then lose obviously)
I have withdrawn a couple of thousand pounds after closing poker sites which I'm not going to play again, but generally I'm not going to bother unless I hit a really big score (more than a years wages for example)
i Enjoy playing but if your playing for the enjoyment then where does that become linked to playing higher and higher stakes? Not saying it doesn't - Possibly for you there has to be a lot to win or lose in order for the game to hld your interest Is it the stakes then then make the game fun for you or would you be just as happy playing 5p - 10p as it's the game you enjoy?

Playing a significantly different stake is almost as much of a variety as playing a different variant of poker
You can't play a freeroll in the same way you'd play a WSOP event, it's a different game; different challenge.
I like playing both and everything in between, the enjoyment is in being able to adapt to the different structures and different playing styles (the reason why some good players can't win at micro stakes levels is because they don't adapt the game they play at higher levels for example)
It means I won't go bust because I'm not going to be hankering to play tournaments I can't afford as I'll be happy to play the cheaper ones when that's the case, but it also means I'm not likely to be drawing a regular income from poker - but I don't need to, that's what the job is for; poker is for the fun.
