Separate from rent
Poker money ≠ rent money. If losing tonight changes rent plans, you're too high — even if you 'feel sharp.'
Practical: separate account/ledger. Move profits out on a schedule.
Practical test: would you tell a friend this buy-in is from rent money? If you hesitate, move down.
If the debit card for rent can hit the poker site, fix that before any strategy content matters.
Ledger rule: only scheduled profit withdrawals. No 'borrow from roll for rent.'
