online poker crash(followup to previous post)

[reddred]

In a previous discussion about the future of online poker, a poster expressed that some potential problems for the industry are 1) the US government cracking down on sites and players without warning, and 2)the potential horror of a site crashing, or a hacker disrupting the safety of our money. My question is, b/c of this, or any other reason, do folks out there NOT keep the majority of there online bankrolls in the site accounts. Just curious if the general consensus out there is that your $ is safe in these site accounts, or if players practice a regular 'transfering' of money out of site accounts into their bank accounts. thanks

I keep as little money in poker sites as possible. However I am very wary of the "Cash Out Curse" so I usually don't withdraw until I am done playing at a site for a while (IE I have cleared my bonus). I keep the majority of my roll in my bank account and a smaller amount in Firepay to reduce fees for depositing into firepay.

Thanks for your reply, although I hope you're not serious about a cashout curse

it is there to balance out the "buy in Genie"
