Do you have a different fund set aside for your playing bankroll?

How do you manage your finance for playing poker? It doesn't matter if you're playing online or offline, funds are needed to play.

Do you set aside a different slush funds for your gambling or do you dip hands into your regular funds to play with it?

 

[Bawse]

I keep my poker, and finances separate but I don't play poker for a living. If I added the pressure to my game, it'd likely force me to play higher buy-ins to try and make rent.
Managing my bankroll with good bankroll management is top priority.

I don't play for money, mostly because I don't gamble. I live on a fixed income and there really isn't any budget for gambling. But I do think that's a great idea, keeping a poker fund and your regular bills in another set of funds

Most of us start out using funds from our day jobs. I can't remember the last time i did that. If i'm running low on a site i usually wothdraw from a site where I'm strong to fund lower bankrolls.

Nope just try to do proper bankroll management at the site level.

 

[Pally]

Yes. I've always been good at accounting and I keep the two separate. Now, granted, I don't play for a living, nor plan to any time soon. Maybe that answer would be different for someone who does. But it is where I am right now and I'm fine with that.

No.

All of my cash is intermingled.

I would have to setup personal accounting in order to separate what I will play with versus what I will shop with. And because I'm fortunate enough to not have to budget that way, there is no need for me to separate funds; I'll just play with the cash I have and have whatever I have leftover at the end of the month.

Yeah most times I do keep some funds aside in case I want to dabble into poker. And I tap into it. On no account do I touch my regular finances.

This is the best way to go. We don't want to be using our life money to finance games.
