I'm no expert but in life my "liferoll" is pretty strict. So I'll go through each thing you said.

You use portions of your bankroll to cover life situations. My first question is do you have an income outside of poker? If you do...does it cover your monthly bills? (rent, mortgage, phone, etc, etc)

Do you "need a bankroll" when you have disposable income? That answer really depends on what your budgets are each month. If you have $400 left each month after EVERY expense, food, gas, utilities, rent, debts, eating out, etc, etc, etc. Then setting aside a few hundred dollars a month for poker isn't an issue. But then part of me thinks...because you're asking. Your budget/personal finance skills need some work.

Should the two bankrolls be kept separate? Of course. You dont spend money you need to eat...to play poker. Its that simple.

Personal Finances are import.

Income - Expenses = Money to budget towards EXTRA stuff.

Expenses are Rent. taxes, mortgage, credit cards, water, gas, phone, internet, etc etc.

If you have debt. Mortgage, car, loans, credit cards. PAY IT OFF. Imagine not having to spend that much money a month?

Budget for the rest of your life. Fun. Eating out. Bars, Poker. Whatever your things are you enjoy. Personal finances dont mean not enjoying yourself. It means not putting yourself in a situation that ****s you over.

"its too hard to save" or "its too hard to pay off debts" is BULLSHIT. Anyone can do it in any situation. You have to be dedicated enough to complete it. But that is a whole other topic.
