Ack! Don't sit at my table!

jk, hopefully your brother is in good health otherwise. It seems to not be too bad for those in decent health beforehand.

 

[S93]

He is good health and i allready know i guy that got it and was fine, isnt really that dangerouse just the media making stuff up.
But on the other hand i really dont feel like beeing stuck in bed for 7-10days sick as dog...

 

[NineLions]

Yeh, not much fun. Keep your distance from your brother.

[tenbob]

Well that sucked balls.

As usual my timing is perfect

 

[pantin007]

1 question about bankrolls, do u only consider the money u have online as ur bankroll or do u keep most of ur bankroll offline? see, im playing fairly decent stakes now but not comfortable keeping all my money online, so i have some in a separate bank account that i can easily access, money collecting interest etc etc and its not a problem moving it from the account to online. is this normal?

 

[Dwilius]

Yeah, think alot of people do that. Your roll is whatever you have set aside for poker (or are willing to replenish) wherever it is.

 

[eNTy]

mentally speaking yeah its your br if its what u consider money available to poker, physically speaking dont u get a lot of transfer fees that way ?

well it does collect interest and that covers the fees plus some

 

[Debi]

Wow - are the interest rates that good there? They suck here.

I keep all of mine online so that I would not be tempted to view it as other money. And we do have the occasional deposit problems here - echeck is easy, convenient and free - but when we have to use other methods it is a pain in the butt and not cheap.

 

[LuckyChippy]

I suppose its different in the UK where you can use a debit card which is fairly hassle free. If you can though, it does make sense to stash some safely in the bank.

 

[KerouacsDog]

^^^^yeah, i forget how easy it is for us UKers to deposit/withdraw

 

[pantin007]

Wow - are the interest rates that good there? They suck here.

well, the average person could probably get about a 5.4% interest per annum on a US dollar account, and 6% on a TTD account dont know how much interest rates are up there. But it is a lot easier to move money online here than in the US for obv reasons
