Message: [QUOTE="LarkMarlow, post: 1382926, member: 57665"] Interesting. I'm the same way but have never thought that might be a problem until now.:confused: The method behind my madness is frequency of play and the actual size of my live and online poker bankrolls, which I keep separate. I usually play live once a month for a couple of days--a tourney or 2 ($50-$80-$100 buy-ins) and cash games (sitting down with $150-$200 to start). My live BR covers that adequately, as well as a cushion if I happen to be running cold. I also have a stop loss limit. I must be doing that OK because I've netted a profit for the last 3-4 years. Online is totally different. My online BR is no where near the size of my live one. No way could I play at the stakes I do live. Online I generally play at least one tourney a day,if not more, and cash games an average of 3-4 times a week. I play below my BR (about half of what I "should" be)because I am still struggling with my ROI and effective online play which is so different from live. While I must be getting somewhat better because I haven't had to deposit in quite some time, I still feel like I'm treading water. For me, there is also a psychlogical factor. In the past, I found that when my BR took a serious dive I would start to play in desperation mode which compounded the problem. Writing all this out is helping me look at the situation more objectively. Yes, I confess--I hoard my online BR like a security blanket too. I'm actively playing with half and the other half sits in my online accounts like in a piggy bank gathering no interest. Maybe it's a rainy day kind of mentality? Or, as Poker Orifice said, is it plain and simple insanity?! [/QUOTE]
