There is a song from the 1990’s that produces a gambler’s dilemma. You might remember the song; it is called “If I Had A Million Dollars”. For most people having a million dollars would likely be the most money they have ever had. A million dollars opens up a lot of options when it comes to playing poker tournaments and cash games. What would you do with one million dollars?

While for most people having one million dollars is a dream, for online poker players it is not so far fetched that it will get you mocked. This is not to say that winning that amount of money is easy or even likely but it is not outside the realm of possibility. For some lucky people that very well may happen if they perform well enough in the upcoming FullTilt.com Online Poker Series.

Having won a large sum of money and running it up you can leave your money in the account of your favorite online poker room to continue playing at whatever stakes you like. It is possible you will continue to win. You would be able to play any tournament you want without fear and sit in any ring game of your choosing. The potential pitfall of course is the possibility of losing it all back. Hitting a streak of variance while playing at high stakes can bleed your roll quickly. Without proper bankroll management it would be quite easy to lose your money. Giving yourself a theoretical million dollars is a good exercise in figuring out what you want income from poker to be for you. It can be a ticket to gamble it up or a chance to book a nice win and put that money to work outside of a poker room. Either way it is a fun dream to have.
