Re: What really is my bankroll?

You spend $550 a month on just food and drinks? Cut it down to $300 and you have an extra $250 to play with. [/ QUOTE ] Depending on where you live, this can vary from difficult to impossible.

Re: What really is my bankroll?
If you think you can win at the higher limits, prove it by CHRUSHING THE LOWER LIMIT GAMES.
"I really think i can beat the higher stakes, just my bankroll wont let me play them" I hear this quite a bit and i think to myself "If you're ready for the higher stakes, surely you're chrushing the lower stakes... So why do you have a bankroll issue?" it usually seems its a mix of: Small sample size and kidding themselves they're chrushing it oh and that they have major leaks in their game which they won't try to correct untill they hit a big downswing. I think you're kidding yourself about being ready for the higher stakes. Prove me wrong by logging the hands and EARNING the cash to move up. Quit blowing cash on alcahol, you puke it up the next day and can't even remember if you had a good time. i'm 18 if that makes a difference.

Re: What really is my bankroll?
I think your Poker Bankroll is only the money you have at the pokersites and you can afford to lose. I am in a quite similiar situation: I got around 11k in poker money, which I won from starting with 50$ and do not need for anything. I play the 400 NL Cashgames. In January I will get around 60k from my parents, money which is supposed to finance my living for the next 6 years at the university (In Germany you dont have to pay for university, so it's just appartment, food etc...).
I could use that money for playing heads-up against Mahatma for one day though [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: What really is my bankroll?
$42/day for food/drink every freaking day strikes me as pretty high no matter where you live.
Then again, NBA and MLB players get something like $150-$200/day cash per-diem for road-trips I think (as if they couldn't cover it on their own). If you're a business-person eating-out and eating out every day (and meeting clients, etc) then obviously you would need even more than that amount. but if you live at home and have a fairly normal job and normal expenses then I just don't see why you would need that much.

One thing that I've discovered since I started eating healthy 3 months ago is that it's actually cheaper to do so. I eat 5-6 meals/day (including meal replacements), and I still spend under $300/month. $300/week is just outrageous.
