Turned $50 deposit into a nice lifestyle

Hey Everyone

1st day on site, Pleasure to be here & Thanks for having me. Well I figured id chime in my 1st start to online poker. It was 2004 and I just got fired from my job of 10yrs. Home watching World Poker tour later that day thinkin what to do now?? Phil helmuth Poker Dvd commercial comes on. Top ten hands of poker or somethin like that. I ordered it. Dvd came in few days later, watched it & Deposited $50 into pacific poker (Yea, its been that long) lol. played a $30+3 tournament (How about that Bankroll Management) lol. It was the 1st tournament available and it was starting in 3 mins. I literally played ABC Poker and Played what Dvd said. I replayed dvd throughout whole tourney & I WON IT ALL, Yup 1st place $2900 win. Played a few more tourneys and kept cashing not 1st but cashed.(This is easy). I went & bought SUPER SYSTEM the next day because that is what all my internet searches suggested at the time & finished it in a 3 days & then I entered live games. $5/$10 Limit & I crushed them & next day I was playing $50/$100 Limit with a Bankroll of $5K or so and I crushed those limits. won a easy 15k in a week. I had no bankroll management sense so I don't knw what my total profit was. I knw I had withdraws of about 30k or so. Life was good & I fell in love with this game. Honestly, even if I lost I would've still felt that way. (Prob not as much) lol but u feel me. So I played online for 2 yrs & played live at a few poker coffee shops that friends of mine owned n ran & I crushed those as well. One coffee shop used to have a $200 unlimited rebuy tournament every Sunday with a Guaranteed $10k 1st place prize. I went on a sick run where I was at final table my 1st 10 times I played in it with only rebuying 1 time in my 10th tourney. I won it 6 times and cashed 8. When I won we would always chop it 2 way or 3 way and sometimes even 4 ways because most of time we all knew each other and I always walked away with no less then $5k. (Life was amazing) & then I stopped. I went thru a few downswings online & I just got married & her parents asked us to move to Arizona to help them out with Restaurant they owned & we were blessed with 2 children & I never played online poker until about a week n half ago when I signed up with ACR. I played a local casino maybe 3 times in last ten years but now I'm back online Full time grinding & learning all about these Tools you can use (Wow, There is so much I have to learn) But I'm learning all I can about these Huds,equity,ICM Etcccc. This time I am ALL in and will make it work. I always think " Why didn't I take my skills to Vegas When I was on that tear of a run back in the day" (Of course I do, wouldn't you) haha. But this time I will make it work and I'm 1000% committed full time in Learning whatever it is I need to learn & Playin maybe 4hrs daily right now. When kids start school on Aug 1st I will playing 8hrs a day 5-6 days a week. I'm All in. Wish me luck & I wish you all Good Fortune.

Deposited $20 @PS and multiplied it by 12 so far (it's been 4 or 5 months). I keep learning, studying, and playing MTTs when I can, since I still have a full time job, and cannot dedicate to poker as much time as I'd like to.

I started with playmoney in PS. Then I started playing some freerolls and then I met the old pokerstrategy which was an online poker school that gave an initial bonus without deposit. That was about ten years ago.

Some affiliate transferred me $50 on partypoker a very long time ago and I played micro LHE until I binked a second in a $33 rebuy (which I had no business joining).

Of course I lost most of that back but started to focus on tournaments and it has been a fun ride. :D

Of the free tournaments, and sometimes a little extra of the salary we apply it. More difficult to maintain a solid bank.

I started in leagues with freerolls, and so I continue to play and raise money and then I play cash games and buy inexpensive tournaments, and the bankroll is slowly growing

I'm focusing on playing the fundamentals of the game as well. We will eventually reap the reward of good play.

I started in leagues with freerolls, and so I continue to play and raise money and then I play cash games and buy inexpensive tournaments, and the bankroll is slowly growing

That's what it's about, slowly building that roll!!
