Hi all,

I was curious as to how people generally manage their bankroll off the tables. To illustrate what I mean, my own example:

1) I keep about two "trip bankrolls" in cash on hand at all times. This is about 10% of my overall bankroll.
2) About 40% is in the stock market. This actually isn't as liquid as it should be, as I sometimes run into conflicts with work that forces me to hold positions a certain length of time/avoid some positions entirely.
3) 40% bank. Not much to say here, other than I know this much of it definitely shouldn't be here.
4) 10% alternative investments

I don't own real estate, though everyone and their brother tells me I should. Aside from the liquidity issue, I don't like being tied down geographically and being an absentee landlord and renting out the place sounds like trouble to me.

I'm 100% sure my method is not optimal. How do you all manage your rolls and do you have suggestions on how I can better manage my own?

Thanks much.
