How Much Did You Lose Before You Made Your First $100 in Poker?

I did not spend a penny but a lot of time, I won my first 2 $ in a freeroll and slowly raised my bank

Zero...
Just a lot of time

freerolls FTW!

It took me a few years to make $100 on pokerstars and another on party poker. It would be faster to make it in Coffee Shop, but I play for fun.

I made $100 today on 888Poker, maybe a little bit of cheating... I had $3 in my bankroll, played a 9 handed SNG with out, came first and won $13, then hit the 7x on the casino dream catcher twice then my number. $100... Easy.

If only poker was as profitable to me

Took me a LONG time before I started winning. I lost probably about $700 in 3 years of just putting in $20 here and there and just being a pure fish!

Now Im at winning 9bb/100 after ALOT of studying and reading and playing.

I got lucky with a good streak of spin and gos right away it only took me 40$.

i have never had a win above 100 dollars, because i play small buy-ins. i play for the fun and sometimes i win than 20 bucks but that's it

Whether you lost a billion or a cent there is only improvement from Rock Bottom.

Don't fret over the bad poker player you were yesterday; fret over the better player you can be today.

Never made $100 from poker yet down about $500.

I have lost lots of money playing live cash 3/5 or tourneys. Online I have made a few deposit since I play more live games. I should say online no more than 1000

couple hundred in, still waiting

:борьба:Hot topic, write, write, write!!!

Didn't made the 100$ yet, but with free cash here and there some FR and micro winnings I'm standing with 55$, I think I'm on a good way

I won my first 100$ from 10$ in the first day. Playing tournaments with a limited time . I was very lucky

$0.

I began playing freerolls and bar poker. Won my very poker tournament that I played.. Which was a free bar tourney. Won $20. I've never deposited on poker site before. Built a small bankroll through freerolls.

First actual money I spent on a casino tournament, I took 3rd and won $450. Definitely got lucky on those fronts.

It took 1 year of hard work and study to be able to keep on bankrol 100 dolars.

0, none, nada.
When I started I played only freerolls for a few years as recreational player. Didn't loose money and didn't win a fortune but paid at least half a dozen utility bills with the winnings.

Biggest results is $92... After that... I lost all.

:O

Winning at poker is not impossible. You should learn some more patience and control your emotions. Only then will you be able to go for a deep run in a tournament. If you get knocked out then you can’t get upset. You should reset and try again. Do t give up Vlad! You can do it [emoji4]

So far, I haven't lost a single dollar of my money. This is thanks to my bank that does not allow gambling sites, however, I want to make a deposits in some poker rooms and currently looking for the right solution for deposit / withdrawal.

did you try with neteller? For me is the best option

When I did not know much about poker I had good results, I think it was because my game was more unpredictable and I was able to play very marginal hands. I remember ever being third in a tournament where I won 250 usd, which I lost in two days playing high ticket tournaments, maybe I did not visualize what I was doing, because in the end it was money that I had gotten free thanks to some tests at pokerstategy. Anyway, if I think about what I have won and lost in this time, I think I have a slight percentage of gain versus what I have invested and had my good moments, but I am still a low level player.

... now but am not getting rich I don't seem to get above certain mistakes that I preach about consistently because I know poor bankroll
Management and chasing when on a good run are the worst things you can do in poker but Just can't help it . I catch myself in time now to stay on the winning side but one day hope to stop doing it all together . Then I will make some real money and lose many frustrating days

I hear you! I've been in the same boat for a long time too. I KNOW what to do, or more importantly what NOT to do, but unless I'm consciously thinking about it, I do/don't do it anyway in the heat of the moment. For me, it's all about achieving and maintaining DISCIPLINE. Maybe I need to start meditating or something.

About $ 200.
