Default Re: Part timers - what do you do with your winnings?

[ QUOTE ]
in other news, when you sit with 25bb and then win 25bb, do you then think of 25bb as "originally yours" and 25bb as "winnings", or do you think "50bb=mine"?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's definitely all mine. I don't think of session results as winnings (or losses). I find myself thinking of it in month increments, I guess. So if I had 317BB at the beginning of the month in my roll (and therefore in my online account(s)) and 400 at the end of the month, I would consider that month's winnings to be 83BB.

The decision then comes, what to do with it? Do we put it into the "roll" category and it becomes untouchable, take it out and go by toys/pay bills/whatever, or a little of both?

Personally, I'm still playing at such low limits that the amount won or lost is too insignificant to bother with withdrawing, and it gets reinvested in building my poker funds and skills until I can play at a higher limit and get faced with a meaningful decision [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
