Default Show me the money

I remember having a ‘boink’ moment during the whole JJ/ZeeJustin thing, when their bankrolls were seized and thinking, what were they doing leaving all that cash in there? Then I had to look at my own bankroll, and what I was doing with it. Playing online, you leave your cash in the casino; no one would ever do this in Vegas. You gather no interest, and it can be a temptation to play over your head. Sure, you leave enough to play here and there, but I started cashing out more frequently and stashing it in an interest bearing account, and now I think of it as having a backup bankroll. It’s a little extra hassle, but it seems to be working so far. So how frequently do you guys cash-out?

I play at low limits, so if i can turn my 50 into 100 im done and cash out. One day i will put in a deposit of a respectable amount of money, but not right now.

I keep no more than $2000 at any site. The largest bankroll that I can personally attest to is $315,000 at UltimateBet. At the limits some play, $100,000 is 20 buy-ins.

do you play real large limits?? i do remember from your posting that your not a tourny player.....thats a lot of coin to have at an online poker room......i guess one would ONLY deposit such an amount by wire or win it in a tourney

You misunderstood me. I am the low limit $2000 grinder. The biggest bankroll I have seen personally was somebody else's $315K. If I had that much money to play poker I would have somebody else do my typing.

What do you mean by a client glitch? You mean the multiple Party client thing that was fixed a couple of months ago when the new version was rolled out?

Yes exactly QuickLearner, ZEEJUSTIN was doing just that, i dont know how he got away with it for such a long peiod of time.He was playing 6 accounts in the multi-table tourneys.


i guess some call it a multiple client feature, in reality it was a glitch as we now know + the fact that they changed it.

I think he had six accounts but only used 2 or 3 at a time. If you can believe his blog... But I'm splitting some pretty thin hairs. He cheated, got caught, and lost close to $200,000 if you count his Stars account(s) as well. Not to mention his future earnings that he lost.

They're both kids who tried to take the easy way. I fell badly that they destroyed themselves, but I can't say I feel badly about the confiscated bankrolls.

He got away with it because the poker sites didn't invest enough time and talent in preventing it. I think that's changing fast.

hes come back to his blog? I know he kept away from it after the whole fiasco. then he did a radio interview to explain his side. He apparently involved his grandmother saying she just dropped by and wanted to play some poker(lol).being granny he couldnt say no.......and it just happened to be at start time for one of the sunday 4;30 pm events.

So being the nice guy he is, he let her play and he played the tourney in another room

Well wouldnt you know it granny made it deep into the event
he says he then went to where she was playing to help her out. blah blah blah
