When I am away on business, if there is a Casino there and I have the amount of buy ins I need for the level of playin online, I will dig in my BR a little and replace it with my winnings from the casino and pocket the rest ( should I win ) . I know in the infamous BR management thread it says not to take from your BR. It doesnt say when you should stop though and start taking from it for leisurely stuff or to pay rent etc.

I dont think this means your done with Poker. You should take some time off and study the game without playing. Then drop a deposit of 15 buyins and continue grinding up. If your a decent player, it wont take you long to get back to where you left off.

PS: I dont beleive its being dishonest. I beleive that the initial amount is all that matters. Give that initial buy in back and tell her you are playing on other peoples money next time if you want to be honest.

yeah she was like "wow well done... that can do for the holiday" I went "eh no,i'm not touching it!! im gonna build it up its called having a bankroll" she goes "stop talkin sh*t. your heads full of poker nonsense now get it cashed out NOW" argument went on for at least half an hour... I lost!!

It won't be then end of poker for me not by a longshot. will figure out some way of getting a bankroll back. (£50 is $100 thats 15 buy ins. shouldnt be to hard!!)
