Building a bankroll

[Noroma]

I deposited $350 dollars after a long hiatus 70 days ago which is now sitting at $2100, but I would say 6 years of playing on and off has gone into this.

And to make the data more concrete:
It took me 100k hands for me to build the bankroll from 350 -> 2100.

It all depends on how you play and where you play. I try to withdraw what I have earned and do not save up.

Hi, I believe bankroll is always under construction. As we beat buyins and move up the ABI we have to move up the bankroll.

The problem with this question is what does it meant to build it up. A $100.00 bankroll is fine to play $1.00 tournaments

I will take it as a building up to go to next levels. Its more about the volume of play to be honest than a time frame. I have played a 100 tournaments in a month and gone 45 days and not played a 1. It will also vary on the size of the tournaments you play. If your playing a tournament with say 2K players and win you could end up 3 or 4X ing your bank roll in one day.
As for me it vary on time frames. Some sites I have doubled by bankroll in months where others took over a years+.

Each poker player needs a different bankroll: for some, 50-75 buy-ins are enough, for others 100, for others more. Therefore, I did not clarify, I thought people would understand it anyway))
Thank you for participating in the topic.

Going on 10 months and I'm almost where I want it to be

It must be a great feeling when you reach your goal, right? For me, all pleasure is not the result (although, of course, it is important!), but in the very process of achieving the goal.
Good luck!:icon_thum:icon_thum

I have built a small bankroll (few hundred dollars) on two poker sites playing only freerolls than small BI MTT for a couple of years. I would have slightly better concentrated on one site. I was over 10x my initial deposit on the third site in about year.

Are you willing to redeposit if you take larger shots with the current bankroll. (Example Having 10 to 15 BIs at certain cash game level)

The question is what do you consider comfortable BR to the OP?

I created a bankroll on pokerstars of $ 200 in about 3-4 months. And this is thanks to our daily and weekly freerolls. For me, this is a great result.

I’m still trying to build it 😂

How long did it take you to build your bankroll?

Usually a week is enough for micro stakes. If the limits are higher then you need a lot more money

Yes exactly. Not sir, I'm a girl.
Today I played for 6 hours, took 2nd place in 2 tournaments out of 4...
Tired but contented.
Yes, patience is our everything. :stupido:

Guys, thanks for sharing your stories.
It was very interesting to read different stories and different opinions.
Good luck to everyone in achieving your goals!

2 cents is all it takes to start a bank roll, lol, a few hours on 888 freerolls?

 

[slicheri93]

usually i take a portion out from my bankroll and rebuild it again
but it took a few trys cause sometimes you hit a losing streak and you have to get over that inorder to build a bankroll, but now it's going steady everytime i hit an amount i take out 30% or 40% and rebuild it up again it works for me now

Hi Friend.

After trying various game modes, after losing a lot of money, if I remember correctly it is 5 months, I am a little short of having a positive balance, but I have already built a decent bankroll that it is very difficult for me to go bankrupt.

 

[INISHTE]

Hi Friend

That would depend on your goal.
Someone who is happy in their freeroll comfort zone ..... is on their own easily. Someone who plays bankrupt will never be satisfied.
In between there is a happy middle ground in my opinion.

Exactly, that's what I base myself on, for the betting area that I do, I am very comfortable with my 50 dollars, but obviously I am in the process of continuing to increase to bet at stronger tables.

 

[TonyTadzh]

I have no bankroll, i play only freerolls and if i win some cents, soon i lose it t

How long did it take you to build your bankroll?

I use 200 B, when I focus on playing by challenge, about 20 days and I'm at the gold level, dealing with PS.

I'm talking about $300, above that, I withdraw.

 

[igorneia]

How long did it take you to build your bankroll?

more than 1 year

 

[alien666dj]

It all depends on the availability of time to play and work on the game, patience, efficiency, perseverance. Roughly speaking, at least half a year.

Everyone has a different bankroll and everyone has a different skill and level of play, so everyone spends different time building their bankroll! It took me more than six months to create my bankroll, but I created it with $ 0 and played only freerolls that everyone plays, then I found out about this wonderful forum and its wonderful freerolls, started reading other people's experiences and sharing my own, after which I got access to private freerolls where you can play good poker and earn money for your bankroll! But my goal was not to win a lot of money, my goal is to learn how to play good poker and play it with good opponents! I want to wish you that you quickly build your bankroll and win a lot of money! Good luck at the tables!

MTTS

I started with freerolls and built my bankroll up to about 1,000 within 3 months, using the proceeds from the freerolls and entering small MTTS

 

[Zirkzee]

If you only want to build your bankroll with freerolls then of course it will take time. But if you are patient it is possible to build a decent bankroll and then start playing in the low limits. Bankroll management for the Big Stack Strategy looks like this: You always join a table with a full stack (100 big blinds). 100 big blinds equal one buy-in. Once you have 25 buy-ins for the next highest limit, you can move up to that limit. If you only have 25 buy-ins for the next lowest limit, you must move down to that limit.

I love to play satelites to big tournys with big prize pool.

If i can get a ticket for it, first step is behind me. Next step is be in money For me its quite easy be in money and then is a massive boost to my bankrol.

If im lucky in short time i can make a good bankrool then i try play micro tourneys mtt and hit as much as possible final tables and won tourneys ofc
