lol nothing personal, but normal human nature shows that when people win big they tend to not realize that their winnings are indeed finite. I believe the statistic is like 75% (maybe more?) people who win the big prize in the lottery are in debt (not just broke, they now have negative money) within 5 years after they win. Generally, people just suck at managing money. Good example is also there is a 1/2 reg who pretty much sucks at 1/2 and makes all his money from fpps. He won the Sunday Million one weekend. Recently he was listed as the biggest loser on tableratings because he lost over 50k at high-stakes games. Can't beat 1/2, move up to 25/50 where they respect your raises?

Anyway, I applaud you for sound money management. When (not if ;)) I win the warmup or million I may take a small shot at higher limits but treat it as a budget that I'm spending, and only a little bit, part would be for a pretty good vacation, part would go into my long-term bankroll, and I'd save the rest. Luckily for us most people when they win big don't have a plan like that, they dump it back into the poker economy :).
