his stories definitely did seem very fortunate

but the point that saving money and taking good opportunities that come up is important

$8k, $109. I cash $3k when I reach $10k.

You guys keeping more than that in there are nuts IMO. One little hacker and whoosh... no recourse.

Can a hacker really do that if you have your money spread out over about 20-40 sites? Also I don't leave it all online, I have a running number which is my poker bankroll. This doesn't mean it's online.

i highly recommend investing at least 10% of profits in something -- up until recently i've made the mistake of assuming all profits should be spent on luxuries, but while most of us are young it's a GREAT time to start putting money away and letting it grow

what raptor said

my personal approach is to leave enough money in my bank account for expenses and a little 'padding' should i want to have a little fun...but not too much padding so i'm not tempted to spend a grip on some dumb toy etc.

i then leave what i consider a suitable working roll in my poker accounts and whenver this gets over what is necessary, or when funds in the bank get a bit low...i transfer the difference to the bank, and then directly to ameritrade

all of my ameritrade deposits are very odd numbers cuz i add it up like this:

(numbers are only examples)

Total in poker accounts: $3125 (of a needed $2000)
Total in bank: $1925 (of a needed $2000)

i square it up and transfer all the leftovers to ameritrade...so in the example above its $1050

What this does is prevent me from viewing myself as having just made a bunch of money, and increasing my spending...its also a great way to save a whole bunch of money when i'm on a rush.

hope that helps somebody

fwiw, I keep a ton online compared to my bank account. Right now, I got 60kish online and only 10k in my bank account. I think it might bt time to start some investing.

somebody is making money off of that money, might as well be you

IMO, if it's online, yes they can. If they get access to your machine, all bets are off, so to speak. Keylogging will give them access to anything you access.
