Just imagine you are a regular mid - stakes cash games player with a decent enough bankroll. till now u had always relied on grinding with decent bankroll management.
Then 1 day u r drunk/ out of ur mind/ on super tilt/ fed up with life/ delusional/ bored/ in super donk state/ amnesic/ develop sixth sense / had a big blow to ur head and hit high stakes with all of ur bankroll. u have the luck of ur life and everything u play wins
u play as long as u can, winning against all of the pros/ pseudopros and when u stop u r a whopping 3 mil$ up.
so now the big question , WHAT NEXT????????????
Do you withdraw part of ur new bankroll out for future or living comfortably/luxuriously/ ? if yes then how much ? if no then why? do u play same old mid stakes or higher stakes acc to ur new bankroll(with/without a part removed) or nose bleed limits? and do u turn full time Pro?
*****************
Poll options got messed in poll, plz refer below for the options
1. don't take anything out and play nose bleed limits 2. Take a small part out and play nose bleed limits 3. Take a small part out and play higher limits according to BR 4. Take a big chunk out and play higher limits according to BR 5. Take a big chunk out and play same stakes as prev but try similar stints at nose bleed now and then. 6. Take all the profit out and play same stakes 7. Quit poker, I'm rich!!!!!!!!!!!! ************************** (sorry if u find this thread/poll stupid but as i rarely create threads/polls so please bear with me and thx for reading)

3 mil$ ? I would buy a house, a new car and invest the rest in a pension-trust. I would leave 5x original BR on the site and play the stakes I'm most confortable with

Yes, I'd take most of it out, leaving a good part (say, 50k or so) just for playing for fun. The money that goes out goes to buy some apartments for the rent, maybe a few trust funds and so, and live from those proceeds

I would like to think i would have the sense to take some ...most of the profit out and continue to play at the same limits.. I think a decent win like that 3mil could set some one up for life if they was carefull enough with the cash. House car holiday its all good..... i would defo play more live poker i would defo go play the main event and loads of WSOP in the weeks leading upto it, wife and kids can keep them selfs busy in vegas im sure..lol I could even have the ultimate laugh by seeing how long they take to fire me at work..hehehe i wouldnt leave id just be as orquard as possible and see how long it takes them to get rid of me ..hahaha
hahahaha i wake up and have my corn flakes, me drunk and playing poker does not go well
my number 1 rule,
but if this happened i would bank 75% and play with the rest and maybe give you guys on here some of it too, well set up a big freeroll just for the members on here
I would definitely take out a huge chunk of it and use it in life. Then leave some in and move up a few levels and use bankrollmanagement at the new level. But would definitely take out the money and quit the nose bleed stakes while ahead.
Nothing would change in my life No, it's not true, of course. I would buy a bigger flat and two more for my kids. Then I would buy a ner car,would do two weeks allinclusive holiday on Bora Bora, would give away part of money for charity and would keep on working. As usual, in the evening I would often play same stakes holdem: that's all
