If I won 200$ with a 50$ initial deposit ? It depends on the| mood . Most times I would stop . But sometimes I might[ go for more . If I see that the slot has stopped paying , then I stop
Don't forget that you don't have any funds left online.

Safety first with me, I can't imagine risking that precious fifty dollars, but if I did, loss aversion would consume my entire person. Time to bag up the loot, and make sure nobody can see I'm so rich for safety reasons. Then bank 90% into a savings account, kiss the last notes, and place into an online poker site.

You are used to play poker online, but you have no more money to play with.

A friend invited you to go to a casino with him and you did, just out of curiosity, not to play anything. But after sitting next to him and watching him spin and spin at this slot machine, you got tempted and you pulled the only $50 you had out of your pocket. A minute later, it was inside the machine in front of you and you were spinning too. As your credit went down to $10, you hit something and a number started rolling till it stopped at $200.

Now you can cash it out, go deposit it in your favorite poker site or you can keep spinning.

Is $200 enough for you as a poker BR?
Do you feel lucky enough to keep spinning?
Or are you going to take the safer way?
For me, those 200 dollars mean one thing: cash out. I don’t let the adrenaline trick me I walked in with 50, I walk out with 200, end of story. slots aren’t poker; you have zero control, and “luck” disappears exactly when you think you’ve got it. I’d rather turn a random hit into a real bankroll than into a story about how I gave it all back in five minutes.

I think that's exactly how a poker player should think, otherwise he'd be a gambler.

So, you would cash it out. But in what account will you put it? It wouldn't hurt to be a little more precise.

Tripling your original investment, from $50 to $200? I would call it a day if I had already played for like 2 to 5 hours.

Honestly, I would call it a day even if I had been playing only for 2 minutes.

I was always very good at BR management so i would surely go the safe way increasing it up slowly.

What about your online BR?
The topic is about depositing the $200 so you can play poker or keep playing.
