At the end of the day its a game and alot of u are talking like your the Howard Lederer's or Chris Ferguson's of this world its crazy.
I manage to make quite a nice profit from poker but not on here (the enemy that is Pokerstars!! [and you would not believe how good im running at the mo]) and i find that i just play and always stick to my levels of 5% buyins or 7% buyins depending on STT or MTT,this works well for me and i never do withdrawals and havent put any money onto Pokerstars,i bankroll challenged it and won a nice amount on a freeroll and went form there,needless to say my profits have soared but i would never dream of taking any money out of it. I want that amount to grow and grow and grow and maybe in 4-5 years there will be an amount that i can go do something positive with,house deposit or something like that,who knows maybe even a house lmao!!!!
My point is that poker is a great game to be enjoyed and the more you find yourself swamping yourself with little mannerisms the more you will get sucked in,instead of just enjoying the game for what it should be.
You all must know what im talking about, all good players will have a system they have tried and tested that they use going onto a poker table,obviously this must be adjusted due to certain players and the way they play,but fundamentally its still he same system,now how many players find even after thousands of bad beats,horrible plays etc,no matter how disciplined and good you are u feel sometimes when your on tilt it slips away from a system to you gambling which is the worst way to play,sorry to go of the main subject,am jus trying to show you that you cant take this game too seriously,once you feel it taking over,you need to step back.
I play for the simple love of the game now,and any money which is made-which i do make- is a bonus,i find once i let my system and enjoyment be taken over,i turn it into a gambling game,which is what i dont want to do.
Sorry guys just a few things on the mind after reading some of the posts.
cheers
You see I later corrected myself and meant is I have £25 balance and that increases to £60, then I withdraw £35.
I was just replying to the main question aboutr withdrawing (not managaing bankroll) and this was an example. I'm not sure about all your comments, but to me this works and makes sense to me. Once a withdrawal has been made on sky poker, it is paid direct into your bank account anyway. I like this method and I use it and it works. Sorry If i missed something, regards richieswift
It's a risky business, If you start with £25 and get it to £200 through winning.
Then do you risk it all on a £200 buy in tourney or by playing higher cash games, or do you withdraw £175 and keep to you normal playing level that works for you ?
£25 is barely a roll for the smallest stakes NL4. If you are consistently winning and you can beat NL4, then, believe me you can beat NL10.
Unless you are desperate for that £35 or whatever it is you withdraw, you would be better leaving it in until you at least are rolled for NL10, then take it from there.
Like I said, dont take it the wrong way and each to their own and all that.

The main thing is to withdraw when you are up and thta's that really.
If you dont withdraw when you have a chance then you could risk up loosing it all and making no money at all.
The answer to my previous question is to either withdraw £175 or withdraw £150 and increase your playing balance from £25 to £50.
