Message: [QUOTE="Shadow6969, post: 7252143, member: 1056236"] As a hobby player, I treat poker like any other form of entertainment. I usually spend 200$ - 300$ per month, covering small cash games, low-buy-in tournaments, and the occasional shot after a freeroll win. I keep a soft monthly budget rather than a strict one — if I hit my limit, I step back and review instead of reloading emotionally. Some months I spend less, some almost nothing if I’m running bad or busy. The key for me is that poker money is “fun money,” not life money. If it stops being fun or starts affecting decisions, that’s my signal to pause. Curious how others handle it — strict bankroll rules or more go-with-the-flow? [/QUOTE]
