How do you manage your winnings in poker?

[Heatman]

Constantly winning in poker feels good especially when the money is substantial. I have known some players who keeps on rasing their stakes when they win more. When the confidence is there, why not?

How do you manage your winnings when playing poker? Do you keep increasing your stake or invest the money elsewhere?

I take 30 percent of my winnings first and go in with the rest. I wouldn't want to go into trades that may end up making me lose more. I will rather stay focused in taking profits than letting everything stay there.

I usually cash out when I need something in real life, or for other expenses. I leave funds in my account for a rebuild.
I don't rely on poker as my main income, but it brings me extra money. I've done bankroll challenges is the past. I don't play on any sites currently with enough traffic for me to do that.

I use my winnings to buy into bigger games once my roll allows. Just progress buyin levels until I'm playing the best games available. With That said the biggest tournaments I've played regularly were $50 sit n go's back on Full Tilt.

I have learned not to reinvest all my winnings back into the game. At least, I tried to withdraw some parts of it so that I will know that even if I lose the next games, already have some profit.

In my opinion, it is wiser to keep part of your earnings. Perhaps you can have a Poker Piggy Bank kind of jar. But then you save it for a rainy day. It can be so useful when you need it most.
