First non-poker purchase from bankroll
Ok, so after a entire year of bankroll building, I decided that it's time to spend some of it on something other than poker training, poker software, or poker books. And, since I've decided to part with some of my hard earned roll, I'd might as well invest it... kind of. I decided I'm going to buy my wife the new Blackberry Storm. She needs a new phone and I figure that when I tell her that I bought it with poker money, it should keep my poker sessions "sans grief" for a while.
Anyway, as I was thinking about this I thought this might make a good thread. So, what was your first non-poker purchase (with poker money) ?
And btw, if any of you have the Storm, let me know what you think of it.

Pix are on my profile page, I think.
Spent 2.5K on wicked 3 piece home gym.
Have never used it.
- diamond earrings (first decent online win $600US)
- Movado watch (cruise winnings)
I guess any Vegas profits are already spoken for
Lol, I think this is more common then some would think. I just bought mine some "random flowers", I made sure to make subtle reference to the fact that poker paid for those...
Also took her out for lunch yesterday and when the bill came I mentioned that poker has the bill this time...
Love those "sans grief" periods.
stp
Then in order over the last 3 years - leather couches, diamond earrings for the wife, Wii for the kid and finally GPS for the wife for Christmas. For myself I got roughly 6000 poker chips.

lol @ cheapest rates in Whitby and Oshawa. I guess that is the laid off GM workers' discount.
uhmmmm......no pun intended
Anyhow, my first purchase of a non-expiring device or service was a HP 17" laptop for $900.00...but was more of an investment for future losses....I mean winnings.
Should have got a knock off.
Then 3 years ago I bought my 350Z with my entire bankroll. Let me just say that was the dumbest thing I could have done (if I had known what I know now speech). I look back and if I had kept the roll I would have probably been able to buy 4x350Z by now.
Ah well live and learn. For the most part I reccomend people to take 10% out of their winnings every session just so that you could pay yourself and look back at all the stuff you got through poker if the day ever comes you go busto.
First actual withdraw from my ps account paid for.... Lego for the wife. Damn, it really is how it works.
Attachment not found.
Ok, so poker didn't pay for all of it, but it did pay for the (All-In) 80K regular maintenance package.
My first choice was white. Apparently, none left in Canada.
I'm a big fan of making small regular withdraws from my bankroll...
10% per session makes a lot of sense.
If you leave the money in, then your bankroll will rise much faster than your skill and you will be over-rolled for higher games before you are ready to play them.
That said....
Most people have the opposite problem. The vast majority are way under-rolled for the game they are playing.
Ideally, a player will have another source of money so that he can put all the money won in poker back into his poker bankroll and let it grow without bound. That player's risk of ruin is negligible.
