I agree with you, Goat but there is another way to increase one's bankroll. After losing about 50% of my equity in the markets a year or so ago, I realised I was stock market super fish and any money I had made there in previous years had been done by pure luck. I cashed in what was left and used it as my bankroll. Which grew at a rate of 11% last year. Not very good compared to some here, I know, but I can't help but feel I have more control of my cash at the poker table than I did when I "invested" it in companies whose businesses I didn't really understand.


I'm not saying this is the proper solution for everybody trying to build a bankroll, but I'm an awful lot more comfortable being directly responsible for my savings than relying on something I have little knowledge in.
