I was just wondering what the farthest anyone has ever got to on an online poker site without having to deposite. Whether it be from freerolls and working your way up or from free money and working your way up from that...

I turned $2 in freeroll winnings to almost $100 in a week or so. I made a withdraw and am still playing on it.

I started from scratch at the World Poker Exchange (WPX). They run $50 freerolls there every 4 hrs. I won one, $12.50. Bought into a $2 tourny, placed 2nd outta 90+ and made $60+. Then bought into a $11 tourny and won that for $350ish. I played there for 2 yrs w/o ever depositing. I withdrew about $3,300. In the last yr I've deposited many times but continued to win here. Once you get goin on this site, its easy to profit because all you have to do it break even on the tables. They have a "NO RAKE" poker room where the rake taken from your pots is tracked all wk long in your cashier window and redeemed to you on Monday in full. Its a beautiful thing. Worldpx.com

Every bit of money I have won online is from Free rolls/ Bonuses. :D

I Started playing on pacific poker in February of 2005. They gave me a $10 No Deposit Bonus! I got that up to about $250 within about 2 months. And $750 before they banned U.S. players.

Then Titan gave me a $25 No deposit bonus, and I was really off to the races. I drove that up to $2000 before they banned U.S. players.

I currently Don't have that big of a bankroll, because I had to use $3000 of it to pay house payments and the such in these trying times.

So I put $200 into Stars and $100 bodog as they let U.S. players play still. I have those accounts up to $370 each right Now. Soooo...

My Poker winnings from Freeroll and Bonuses:

$3000 House Payments
$750 On Bodog and Stars
$450 In neteller.
$800 In the Bank.(from Neteller)
------------------------------------
$5000 Total.:D

As you can see from the $5000 I only have $2000 to play with. I consider myself pretty lucky to be where I am at with this today. I don't even consider myself "good" yet, I just play my game.

Well, sorry about rambling so much!!;)

Very nice, Sammy - I didn't realize your BR was from freerolls/bonuses.

I myself did the same thing...haven't even totaled it all up yet;

Won some freeroll money in the beggining at Titan, brought it up to ~$200, lost it all with bad BR management and tilt, then won $11 at another freeroll, brought it up to $2800, lost a huge chunk and it dropped to the mid-$1000s, so I withdrew $800 and worked my way up again. I've been playing stakes no bigger than $30 SnGs and $50NL, and have since cashed out I think about $1500-$2K. Most of which has gone into a "32 flat panel, an xbox 360 + games, and liquor. Mostly Old E 40s and Laker to be exact :eek:

So that's roughly $2500-$3500 including what I have in my BR now from 1.5-2 years of playing and an $11 freeroll cash. No Chris Ferguson, but it'll do :)
