Default How much?

Given frequent outages and the whole PokerSpot fiasco, how much are you willing to keep in an online poker room account? Personally, every time my balance gets over $250, I pull $ out, which leaves me more than enough for the variance in my 2/4 game, without being devastated if one day I signed out to Party and found they had simply taken it all and ran.

Obviously this depends on the stakes you play. I don't sit down at tables with less than $250 (bare minimum), and I usually play 3 at a time.

I've had over a grand before but if it's a reputable site what's to worry about? look at the guys who play 25\50 NL they probably got 100grand online!

Default As always, risk averse

Since limits are such a factor, I should have asked this as how many session buy-ins are you comfortable keeping in at a time. For me, it is around two to three. I just think since these are off-shore operations with little to noaccountability, I don’t want to trust them to hold anymore of my cash then necessary.

I have no reason to doubt either the viability or ethics of any of the major sites. But that’s what the shareholders at Enron thought too.

I agree with Tone. I never keep more than $300 in any one poker account. I don't play higher limits online, and if I did, then I would cash in and play.

I usually keep 3-4 buyins in a site. I will take out the excess to Neteller. Quick access if I need to reload or if I want to put some in a new site.

back when i played on party i kept all my online money in my account and never took any out. took $19 and turned it into 300 in a day.... too bad i got greedy and went to higher NL games, because i got broken by a reckless guy catching his 3-outer for my entire bankroll.... whatever, better to have gone for it than cashed the 300.
