Well, as I've done some more research, I see that when it comes to live it's budget vs. bankroll. A true bankroll is like my online roll where I have 20x a buy-in ready to go and set aside from all life purposes. A budget is maybe a few buy-ins I can set aside out of my normal finances for poker. Basically recreational money that I can budget to use for poker.

My problem is I REALLY don't want to just keep dropping a few hundred bucks every month to try and get lucky. That's money I could be using for non-poker things. Not only that, but without tracking specific date, I can tell how I've been doing online based on the size of my bankroll because I follow such strict rules.  When I first started playing online, I wasn't making myself improve because when I lost one deposit, I would just deposit again. Now, if I'm not playing profitable poker I have to drop down in stakes or not play until I score in another freeroll.

So, I think the solution for me is to start setting aside my online cashouts to play live with and wait until I can follow the same BR rules live that I already follow online. I don't make much money online, pretty much min cashouts every month or 2. It could reasonably take me the better part of a year before I save enough to go play a cheap MTT. I'm ok with this, it forces to me to give my online play more attention.

However, I'll give myself one more week of live play without restrictions before I start this!! I want to have a little fun!!
