The question I have is this: With regards to bankroll, lets say I play .50/1 NL ring games. From what ive read I need a $300 bankroll to do this safely. If my bankroll increases to $600 do I move up a limit to $1/$2 NL games, continue where I am or withdraw $300 to my personnal account and count it as 'winnings'? What do you guys do with your 'winnings'? Use them to increase your bankroll or withdraw them to spend on personnal goodies?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give, ive looked around a few places a cant seem to find an answer to this.
No way! You need about $2000 to play 0.5-1.0NL safely assuming that you can beat the game long term.
