I've seen a number of posts about saving money to play and spend in Vegas or other poker trips. It got me thinking and wondering how most people approach these expenses. Do you save for every trip and time you play? Have you build a bankroll and adhere to strict BRM? How did you get your BR jump started?

For myself, I quit smoking in 2007. at that time we had no casinos within an hour of home. But, I started putting away the money I used to spend on cigarettes to build a BR for live play. I started playing regularly in 2012 when Casinos opened in Ohio ( I never got involved in the local card rooms). In 2013 I stopped putting the smoking savings and decided that my BR should be sufficient for my poker playing.

I am always saving for my travel expenses and spending money when I venture outside of Ohio to play. I have set up regular payments for it. Some day I would love to have all my expenses covered by my play. No dreams of being a pro. But even as a recreational player I hope to have my play sustain all to expenses to do so.

And you?
