I think it would be fun to hear about bankroll comebacks. My best is today I nursed a bankroll after cashout of $2.90 to a total $99.54.:eek::eek::eek::D
all on limit poker.
Anyone else have a comeback they would like to share

My balance on Titan Poker is 116.80 right now...and that was from being down to 2.75 on a single 20$ deposit - just moved up to the .5/1$ game, and raked in a ~20$ pot beating KK and AK with AJ from the big blind. Capped on 4th and 5th streets. THen i had to go to work :(

I took my bankroll at Paradise of $1.60 and built it up to $5.

I entered a $2 rebuy tourny and got 7 - $76 (99 total after some ring)

Then played 10+1 tournies and built it up to $270.

I believed my play actually improved because I was not so concerned about losing the money.

cashed out to 20 yesterday, got down to 5 dollars...and now i'm sitting back up at 123. Played 1/2 at Full tilt. By FAR the best fish in town. the games are super aggressive/loose. So, if you want to make money, FTP is where its at.

The other night on Stars I was down to $57 or so and turned it into $240 at a $1 no-limit table. Of course, I started the session with $240. I was getting creamed at one table and moved to another where I found someone who really wanted to give his money away, so I took it.

well i wouldnt call this a comeback, because i never really had a bankroll
but i'd call it my best bankroll-from-nowhere:

won $11 in a CC freeroll ( i haven't made a deposit online yet )
but lost a bit and it was down to like $5
since then, through SnGs and LHE ring games, i've brought it up to $270 roughly; the biggest bankroll i've ever had
i want to see if i can continue to play small stakes like i am now and possibly bring it up to like $500 or higher and have a decent sized bankroll for the future

I didn't come from a small bankroll, but I made a single deposit of $50, and dropped to about $32. In one night I won $14 coming in 1st in a $1 SNG and took another $20 on 5c/10c tables, all in about 4 or 5 hours. A decent haul for very cheap tables.

I took $50 and built it to $2400. Since during that time my bankroll never varied more than $200, I withdrew $2200 and spent it on my car, leaving only $200 to play with. I instantly started losing. I lost it all the way down to under $2. Played a 1.00 + .20 tourney and won. Since then I have won it back up to almost $700.

I saw this thread and decided to tell ya'll about my online play. I only started playing for real money (online) this past summer, and to this day I've never pulled a penny out of my own pocket. I started with a few freeroll places and 20$ from ( name sponsor here) to put on CD Poker. I just got done looking and I've had 9 withdrawals to my neteller acct (not huge but sizeable) and still have a comfortable amount on 4 different sites. At one point on AP I was down to .90 and thought i'd have to put money back into it, but a freeroll win and some good play at the 7-stud table got it back to close to 200$ again. So if nothing else, at least it hasn't cost me anything to get to this point, and I still hope to either win a seat to a major event, or win enough to put aside and buy a seat someday. More of a come-up story than a come-back story, but it just seemed like a good thread to share this with you.

nice, Ima - you're in almost the exact situation i'm in :)
i've never made a deposit...but just now cracked $300
i had a bankroll before that i built up the same way
but after not playing for a few months and then coming back to it...well let's just say it went quicker than bunnys can f**k


well i'm gonna go ask online support if they would still let me withdraw
when i won the $11 they said anything i made out of it could be withdrawn, only there was a $20 min. withdraw

well i'll have to see if they've 'changed their minds' since then

alright only conditions are those set by the different withdrawl methods that everyone has to follow(time delays and minimum withdraw amounts)! if i wanted to, i could take it out right now
i think im gonna leave it in there to grow a little more - it's been buffed up nearly %100 since i discovered how profitable low-stakes limit poker was like 3 days ago
im starting to like titan a little more now :)
