i don't understand why you cannot dedicate your roll to poker only for like 2 months to move up to a level and start withdrawing. he said hes not living paycheck to paycheck so why not give your roll the chance to blossom? he said he doesn't need the money only that he likes the cushion.

quit being a life nit and let it ride. you can always withdraw whenever you actually need money.
