| How many of you guys have lost their initial deposit? I deposited some money a few days ago, and after doubling it up, I have just lost it ALL. I'm not too surprised because I didn't use good BRM. So how many people usually loose their first deposit..or more? |

| re: How many of you guys have lost their initial deposit? poker Luckily I came to CC before making my first deposit and learned about BRM. Thank you again CC! I think BRM should be lesson #1 to any poker player. Seriously. It doesn't matter how great you are. If you can't manage your bankroll, then it's just a matter of time before you can't play any more. It also puts everything into perspective, including streaks. It forces you to expect those (inevitable) losing streaks and it forces you to save those winning streaks ('cause you'll need the money later). BRM is the name of the game! Can you tell I'm a fan? |

BRM is the way to not lose your deposit Quote:
A bankroll of say $5000 is more suitable for playing $0.50/$1.00 giving you 50 (pretty conservative, I know) full buy-ins of 100BB Last edited by Samango : 20th December 2011 at 5:20 PM. |

| I lost my initial deposit on Pokerstars, about 6 or 7 years ago when I first started playing online. I was not educated in bankroll management back then, thought I was hot stuff at the tables just because I won a couple tournaments. I made a second deposit on PS, and before I went back to play, I read up on poker and learned br management, shaped up my attitude and up until black Friday I was a player that could profit playing poker, it was a small profit but a profit nonetheless. |

| I think most people lose their first deposit if not right away then over time... some players are making smaller deposits when they could afford larger. This isn't a leak or bad BRM. They shouldn't deposit more just because they can afford it, and they shouldn't "play down" to the level of their deposit. I didn't lose my first small deposit online, but I was also playing lots of freerolls and I also got lots of transfers from friends to play initially. (I did pay them back, though usually with cash after I noticed putting money online was going to become a trickier issue.) I did lose my first couple "deposits" playing live... over the first year of transforming from playing free bar league poker (where I won enough to get a bankroll started in the first place), but I eventually hit my stride and haven't had to worry about it since. The closest I've came is when I've had to spend from my bankroll for life expenses. Although, I do have to say that most of the small-stakes action isn't worth playing in my area anymore, which is why I moved over to playing online in the first place. Sigh... |

| Lost my first two deposits of $25 and $50 on PS. Depositing $50 on PS again, ran it down to $9. Went on a wicked heater in DONs, to $35 stuck with those to 100. Switched to cash and haven't deposited again (other than transferring for Black Friday) |

| When I started playing poker, it was for fun and entertainment but after losing about $100 or so, I started to wonder why I was consistently losing. So I started to read and study the game of no-limit and limit holdem. I haven't deposited now for over a year. I'm now showing a fair amount of profit and enjoying the game much more. I think it is important to be able to beat micro before you move up in stakes. As you move up, the game gets tougher to beat, so you need good BRM to enable you to adjust. never stop studying the game you play. gl all |

I think BlueSkies is onto something here as I play VERY conservatively as well. No sudden massive up-swings, but no massive down-swings either. |
