I disagree.
Withdraw with moderation obviously, but to get stuff from your poker money is great for motivation.
Plus what eragotte said.
And at what point are you no longer "building a roll?". When you become a break-even bonus whore?
I'm withdrawing for a couple of reasons:
To buy stuff
To get interests: having five figures online isn't incredibly smart. Better put it in a savings account.
As a long-term stop-loss. - I'm not a tilt monkey, but I like the security of knowing that account-busto is not the end of my poker career.
To stop me from moving up! - At the rate I've been going between 5NL and 100NL - moving up every 20k hands or so, I really wasn't supremely confident that I was beating even the current stake that I was playing. So I cashed out ~10 buy-ins, and regrind.
And recently to pay some bills. I like to have a buffer of about 6 months of expenses in my bank account. When I drop below that, I try to fill it up again.

I've withdrawn over $10K since moving to full time in September and my roll has never reached $3500. I guess it depends on what you define as success. Some people think that their bankroll is representative of dick size. Personally, I wanted to spend time with my son before he moved on to being a teenager and had no time for his parents. That was the value for me.

Sounds like you weren't growing your bankroll anymore because apparently your sufficiently rolled to be a professional micro stakes rake back pro. Some people also have higher aspirations then breaking even at 50nl and barely supporting a family from rake back. If you were to say have a goal of playing 200nl then withdrawing 10k while moving up would be pretty disastrous. Bankroll size has nothing to do with dick size it has more to do with being adequately prepared for the variance of poker and not going bust and having to redeposit. While also being able to continue to play the stake your most profitable at despite going on a downswing. Although you seem to not really know much about advancing through the stakes. Thanks for the input though.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
