Hi, friends!
I wonder how you built your bankroll?
Was it freerolls, or did you immediately make a deposit and started playing?
I played freerolls for 3-4 months, earned $ 20 and started playing cach nl2.
I did not make any deposits, I made one, only to bind a credit card.
I would like to know your stories.

On pokerstars I made 0-100 with freerolls and some 0.10/360 and some nice deep runs in MTTs like 0.11. Lost them all after some point and I deposited $100 but now I play with this bankroll :p

In ACR I made about 30$ from freerolls and some $1.10 400gtd which I withdraw and I redeposit by using a promo code and now I have $70+.

Hello to all forum members!
My history of poker began in 2013 at the PokerStars room. I put $ 11 into the account via webmoney, and on cash games NL10 reached $ 200 in one month, took $ 100, and lost the rest.
Since that time I started to practice strategy and theory of poker, now I'm playing tournaments, and I rarely played cash games and I did not refill my bankroll from the side, I try to replenish playing poker !!!

Earlier in my stupidity, I made several deposits. I really wanted to win without spending any effort (in spin and go tournaments). And of course I lost everything to a penny ... Now slowly I decided on the game: I chose the most suitable variant of poker, I read the theory, I constantly watch other players who play the same limits. I do not invest money in principle, I take overclocking playing freerolls and until I get it)) Another couple of months and I think that I will collect the bankroll I need!

Lately I tried for the first time a 44$ buyin and lost it all. Since then I am calm, I play freerolls and will play again next month in Sunday Storm probably ^^.

Ps. Note to myself, never play a big buy in again, I got my lesson lol.

Hi guys!
For me it has been quite difficult because my connection has been very bad. Also I can not make deposits, so I play freeroll and promos, It has helped me a lot because I say define my game, now I say that I like to play sit & go tournaments. And it has led me to accumulate experience without losing my money.

You have to play on small limits from the Bank. That was enough for at least a few dozen entries on bainum. Although from time to time and larger baini to use, but rarely.

actually trying to build in freerolls, but you need to grind so much. i think its easily deposit and try some micro stakes (but before that i will try restricted freerolls :))

I'm still in the process of building a healthy bankroll. I've busted a series of small deposits because I was being reckless and impatient with them. At the moment, I'm trying again with another small deposit and playing micros to hone my style of play and solidify the fundamentals I need to eventually move up in stakes. Thankfully, I'm finally learning my lesson and it feels like it's paying off. I'm only playing about 5% of my roll and taking small shots when I'm playing well enough to take those risks. And on days I can't mentally handle the losses I've sustained, I walk away regardless of whether I've played my allotted amount...otherwise I'll tilt back to zero quite quickly.

I started playing freerolls back on party poker in 2004 and made 2 ft and won 90$ total but wasn't legal age so then when I turned 18 i tried getting it out but they wanted me to make a deposit first so i did of 50$ then turned that into 3200$ playing the monster qualifiers made it to grand finally but they cancled it when the bill was passed in the states in 2006 when they pulled the plug on usa players on party poker my ticket was worth over 10k if the whole thing was going to go ahead but they only gave me 3000 for it and after that i was so bitter about it i decided to move over to pokerstars made 2-3 deposits on there before I played my first sunday million and got second in it for 168k then one year later they pulled the plug on usa players in 2011 on stars and the sunday millions 1.5mil gtd went down to 1mil gtd, you will be missed usa players...

well in my case I had made $550 just from 1 free roll tourney once in 2015 without depositing anything but due to addiction towards online gambling I lost every penny. The poker is just a hobby for me at present so I did not care about the winnings from the free roll and it has been more than a year since my last deposit to my poker account. Though during that time period I have won few tourneys and have made few $$$ but never care about it. Now I am planning to add Bankroll management into my poker dictionary.

A slow freeroll grind is how I make a bankroll.

A few years ago I made about $1k from freerolls but playing low stakes cash games and grinding out the variance was too frustrating and I eventually blew it martingaling on roulette and sports.

The game isn't hard. The hardest part is just showing up with strict bankroll management and controlling emotions.

I played freerolls. No deposit
In the last year it was $1 mln. dollar freeroll on Pokerstars, where I earned about $14, then I lost almost all on the satellites to MTTs. I didn't know about BRM
Now I started playing SNGs and earned few dollars from that. I want to try with fixed limit also.
Now I consider deposit to promote to higher league level.

I never made a deposit. I sold some crazy amount of play money chips back in the day (20 million?) for like 50 bucks real money. Started at the very lowest stakes. Played like a complete nit. Never looked back.

Well ive just started Aemrican Cards Room, and unlike the rest of poker rooms where i deposited i actually decided this time around to to start my bankroll from freerolls. Since ive started ive place in a freeroll where a one a buck and some. I then went straight to holdem cash games with 0.02 bb and since then im up to 0.10c - 0.25c with a bank roll of $32. My plan is to keep playing this stakes until im over $150 - $200. So for me the free roll and grinding micro cash games have worked for me, you would have to find your strategy and what works best for you. Might be grinding out freerolls and sit n gos.

I have not yet been able to build a favorable bankroll, but I am gradually getting through to a group where members sponsor players, each dividing the prize if I stay in ITM
