Following “Black
Friday” depositing on U.S. friendly sites has been problematic at best. I
play on the Merge network; in the beginning deposits were not  a
problem, but the past few months it has been an issue for my friends.
Luckily, I have not had to deposit since November, even then I could not
deposit and relied on a friend to transfer me money in exchange for
some PayPal action.  However, during a recent downswing, I can’t stop
thinking about busting and not being able to deposit again. Even though I
am still ahead from the November deposit, I know the fear of busting
online and not being able to deposit has affected my mental game. I keep
the majority of my bankroll offline in a savings account and what is
online is a small fraction of this, overall bankroll management has not
been an issue.  Obviously the issue is trust, since I lost a lot of
money from Full Tilt and Absolute when they ran off with it. For this
reason I only deposit in small amounts to avoid having a significant
amount online if it were to happen again. However, this causes anxiety
that I will not be able to deposit again. Thus, my problem is two-fold: I
fear depositing more and having it taken from me and I fear busting and
not being able to deposit.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as
I am sure some other players may feel the same way too.
