Bankrolling
While some ask for donations, some go out and take money - forcefully. That is the essence of creating a bankroll. It has come to that time that I began building my poker bankroll, and on the way to doing that - quadrupling the initial investment of $5. But why have a bankroll? Should you not just play with whatever money is in your pocket at the time, and spend the winnings after? Yes and no. Once a bankroll is established and consistent stakes are established (10-20, 20-40 games at best, most likely - maybe large buy-in no limit), the winnings could be used to supplement income - to buy yourself something hype. But the question is — why can’t you just do that with what’s in your pocket? The reason is simple — a bankroll is a cushion that allows for total and complete failure while not affecting your everyday life.
Imagine losing all of your money that you earned from a legit job just before the winter holidays, or more importantly before your bills are to be paid. Well, you’re screwed. Losing a whole bankroll… its just a cushion — life goes on.
The point of this is — we need more games in the North York area. Bankrolls need building. Anyone wish to build their own bankroll, please contact me (or if you’re seriously interesting in building a bankroll, contact Oleg.)
