Does you guys think is possible to build a good BR (500USD+) by only depositing 50 usd ? Im doing it for over a year but always end up with nothing.

The best way to build a big bankroll is by starting with maybe 50 dollars indeed ( or less, depands on which kind of tourments you want to play). Do you want to play just 50 cents then is 20 dollar more then enough for having fun (and profit) for a few days/weeks. But if you want to play immediatly at for example the sunday millions (11 dollar each tourment or more). Then you need to have 500 dollars as beginning bankroll. That would be a nice starting bankroll.

Hope I helped you.

id say depends what you are playing. do you plan to play mtt, sng, or cash games? and for how much. if you are playing cash games, you could play 2nl with a 50$ roll...
although honestly 500 after the first year might be ambitious. i think people lose more when they get greedy and try to go too fast.

Best chance for success lies in focusing on improving ones decision making, rather than focusing on the size of your roll at a given time. Leads toward proper bankroll management & less tilting.

It depends on what type of game you want to main (SNG, MTTs, or Cash) and where you want to start.

Since I main MTTs, I'll focus on that. Usually, a solid BR for MTTs is 100 buy-ins. So, how much you deposit, 100 buy-ins of that should be the stakes you'll start at. So, if you're thinking of depositing $50 and want to follow good BRM, then you'll have to start at .50 MTTs.

However, if you don't wish to start at the .50 MTTs, then you should consider depositing more. Also consider your skill level. If you know you can beat the .50 MTTs, then jumping to the $1-$2 games are fine because they're very similar. However, I wouldn't jump from .50 games to $10 games because there is a huge skill gap.

Finally, when it comes to BRM, it really depends on if you don't want to reload anymore or if you have no problem reloading. If you don't wish to reload and want to play off of only a single (or final) deposit, you should make your BRM standards a bit more strict. So, maybe 200 buy-ins. But if you don't mind making more deposits if you need to, then your BRM can be a little be more loose. Between 50-100 buy-ins. Or even less if you wanted.

It is indeed possible , but will not be easy , will have to have a discipline with your bankroll , I advise you to play Sits 0.50 cents in PS and go up only when you have 100 buy ins in the account.

i ould do a bank transfer because then they will have your info for when you want to withdraw and when doing so use the same way i feel like you get your money the fastest that way but the only downside is on some sights they take a percentage for the quick withdraw

how much you want.the idea is to not come into play only 10% of them.
I respect that.and so it is safest for you
