1 question about bankrolls, do u only consider the money u have online as ur bankroll or do u keep most of ur bankroll offline? see, im playing fairly decent stakes now but not comfortable keeping all my money online, so i have some in a separate bank account that i can easily access, money collecting interest etc etc and its not a problem moving it from the account to online. is this normal?

Yeah, think alot of people do that. Your roll is whatever you have set aside for poker (or are willing to replenish) wherever it is.

Wow - are the interest rates that good there? They suck here.

I keep all of mine online so that I would not be tempted to view it as other money. And we do have the occasional deposit problems here - echeck is easy, convenient and free - but when we have to use other methods it is a pain in the butt and not cheap.

I suppose its different in the UK where you can use a debit card which is fairly hassle free. If you can though, it does make sense to stash some safely in the bank.

well, the average person could probably get about a 5.4% interest per annum on a US dollar account, and 6% on a TTD account dont know how much interest rates are up there. But it is a lot easier to move money online here than in the US for obv reasons
