Default Re: pulling out your winnings

2 Things. Why not wait until you need it, instead of trying to create an artificial reason for taking out money you don't need.

Well, needing and wanting aren't exactly the same thing. However, it's not what you think: actually, my wife has been surprisingly patient with my hours and hours in front of the computer screen, but I would like to be able to make good on some of my promises of "riches beyond our wildest dreams!" (Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but I did promise that we could probably pay a few bills with poker, and her reply was "I'll believe it when I see it," so there's a little pride at stake here.)

Second, if you keep playing and posting, your skillz will grow, so anticipating maxing out your skill level is kinda follhardy, IMO.

Anyway, you can/should certainly wait for 3-6. The adaptation to the 5-10 game is where many SSer's really seem to experience significantly diminished returns, while 2-4 performance seems to be fairly well correlated with 3-6 performance.

I'm currently at about $1500. I think I might just go ahead and build to around $2500 (moving to 3/6 in the process) and then start pulling it out.

And thanks to everyone for their advice.
