Just know that since there's a rake, the majority of players lose. They're just wishing they could break even.
When I open an account at a new site, I only ever make a small deposit, usually $30 to $50, and I never redeposit. I have several different sites where my bankroll is now well up in the hundreds, and three where it is in the thousands.
My method of growing a small sum into a large one is this: I play low buyin ring games, usually $10NL (at first). At this level, I find it fairly simple to double my buyin. Then, I use half my profit to buy into a $5 MTT.
The worst that can happen is I fail to cash in the MTT, and my BR grew by $5. I keep repeating the process until I reach a final table and achieve a big BR boost, then I move up a level and repeat the process at $25NL and $10 MTTs.
A couple more MTT successes and I`m into $50NL and $5 or $10 Rebuys.
Using this method, you can`t fail as long as you can consistently beat $10NL. The rest is all financed from the profits of that and it`s only a matter of time. Possibly a long time, if you are not strong in MTTs or if you are unlucky, but you`ll get there eventually.
Especially on Bodog, they have beginer tourn's that pay 5/10 spots. If you can't make it past half a table you need to rethink the game a little
