Bonch wouldn't storing away 1 years living expenses be part of your overall bankroll? I have 3 bankrolls, my live game bankroll, my online bankroll, and an emergency bankroll/savings that I don't touch (but it is still part of my bankroll).

Also I gotta call bullshit on 95% of these people saying they saved a years worth of living expenses before turning pro. Common sense tells me if you could do this you don't need to play 20/40 for a living, either you have a very high paying job or you have ripped up the poker tables enough to already be a pro.

it's more like I made 22K playing poker last year 20 hours a week. I think I'll quit my job and play poker 40+ hours a week. or (usually from the younger guys) I have built up a 10K roll I'm gonna go for it. at least from most of the pros I know.
