what to do with your winnings...

build a poker banroll, continue to get better, move up, and make more money. save save save and then buy a house.

Just cashed out for uber holiday again. Left enough $$ only for 1-2 to start over. Next summer I will blow bankroll on vacation again. My wife approves haha.

What good is winning money unless it is spent???

Most of it goes towards school. Everything is paid up right now and I have earned one semester's worth so far this summer. I took a grand from my one and only tourney win and stuck in my ROTH IRA. Once the full year is paid for I'll start building myself up for the tax whip. I only get poker related stuff (books) through the pso.com and the site comps.

hey, is there a thread discussing this more in depth? like amounts that i have to declare (>$500), cashouts that the bank will notice (like depositing $10k all of a sudden which hasn't happened for me yet).

I have also been wondering this lately. I know that there is an amount that if any check is over it gets checked up on. Not sure from who. I want to say $5000, but maybe it's $10000 now.

I started in Sep/Oct 2004 at 50/1 full ring LHE and now play 2/4 full ring LHE and have about 105,000 hands under my belt. I'm up about $10,250 (3k winnings and rest bonii). Each month I move all-Neteller-cash-over-$2,200 into my ING account as I save for some big tickets (down payment on a house, wedding, etc.), but last week I allowed myself one little extravagance........

If you keep withdrawing sizable wins like that, you are going to end up with no bankroll.

Watch number's get higher in the "account balance".
