no offense guys, but in my post i wrote my level was $25NL currently. you are assuming i play at $100. i said i would like to work my way up there. also, i know the standard is 20-30 buy-ins, but anything i've read suggests the skill below $200 is so bad you can get by on less than 30 buy-ins if you can beat the game consistently. i'm not there yet, but i beat $25 rather easily(i know the players are not as bad at $100).

please don't mistake me for arrogant, as this is not my intent. i was posing a hypothetical situation about when and how much to peel off a bankroll.

i think the answer is to avoid withdrawing any money until you are sufficiently "rolled" to play at a level you are comfortable with. and when you are there, pull profit only(duh).

what i was asking is do you pull all of your profit each month, assumig you have one? or do you pull a % of profit and continue to build the bankroll to even more comfortable levels. and that i know is a matter of personal preference, too...

but i was asking for SPECIFIC examples of what people have done in the past with their own money.

any help there would be appreciated.

p.s. i've had the 6 buy-in downswing and it scared the crap out of me...lol
