Many people have spare money in their general budget and can afford or are willing to spend more.For players with jobs, they can sit with any amount they don't mind losing.Are you a professional poker player? If not, don't worry about it, just play within your means.

I don't usually have a bankroll because I'm playing more free games.

Have you tried paying for groceries at the store with your 888 or GG bankroll?
If not, give it a try :)

Of course. Usually I can put the same money back into the game.

No, but I have the numbers broken down into how much to spend and how much to withdraw.

gambling money is strictedly separated from my general wallet I know how much I want to spend every month and I don't spend a penny more . The reason ? Not good results , you cannot keep on playing of you keep on losing . So I play very carefully . Nowadays free time is a big problem for me . I can play a slot for fun , but a 5 to 7 hour poker game ? Nope .

I am used to keeping my money in banks, in different banks in different places.

Absolutely, this helps me not to spend too much and to keep a limit on how much I can spend on my bankroll and still be able to play poker for the foreseeable future.

Well, the problem is that I'm not yet at the level to be a plus in the world of online poker so I don't stand out but if I manage to win a better one then I can do it.

Yes, it's best to keep your poker money separate from your everyday money, because that way you protect your personal finances and prevent the game's fluctuations from affecting your essential expenses.

Always separate. Poker bankroll is poker money, real life money is real life money. This mindset alone already makes you a better player.

Since I’m not a professional player and play purely for enjoyment as a hobby, I spend all the money I win on entertainment 🙂 it’s like separate money.

I keep my poker bankroll separate by leaving the money inside the sites I play on.
Once I cash out, I no longer consider that money part of my bankroll when it hits my bank account.
