I went through a pretty significant poker phase a couple of years ago, too, where I'd spend what seemed like days on end playing online. If my memory serves me correctly, the most I ever had in my bank on FT was about $16K and the most I was ever in the hole was about $9-10K. I don't remember all the details, but I do remember being on a seriously bad bender. Ultimately, I took about $5K out, but lost the $1500 that was left in there because they wouldn't send it. I started curtailing my play when I first heard legitimate rumors about in-house cheating and just a few months later, the story went national.
