You know when you reach into the pocket of a jacket you haven’t worn for weeks or months and find cash? Imagine if you reached into that pocket and pulled out $400+!

OK, here’s the deal. Once my bankroll at a given site gets above $200, I’ll pull $100 back into Neteller. Jeff (Donkeypuncher) suggested this as a hedge against both variance and the potential collapse of online poker. A few months ago, when Mrs. Commish was having conniptions over my online play, I cashed $1000 from Neteller to prove to her that I was profitable. A few weeks ago, I cashed another $300 because I thought the Neteller account was getting too high for a non-interest bearing cash account, and left a couple of hundred behind for bonus whoring opportunities. Well, after reading about the various bonus games at Party Poker (step tournaments, bbj, etc.), I decided to re-up there with what was left of my Empire cash (>$100). So I cashed all but $11 out of Empire (one last SnG), and bought back into Party for a piddly $100.

But when I checked my Neteller account for the first time in a few weeks, I had over $600! I guess I’ve been cashing down at Pacific and Empire and forgetting about it. Sheesh, talk about found money!

Oh, and I’m gonna be stuck in Maui next week for my company’s sales meeting, so my online poker play may be curtailed. Anyone know of any casinos in Maui?
