I lost around $2500 and I'm just wondering why. I regret it now, of course, but we'll figure something out somehow.

The amount you should deposit for poker depends on various factors, including your skill level, your financial situation, and the stakes at which you plan to play. Here are a few considerations to help determine an appropriate deposit amount:

  1. Bankroll Management: It is crucial to practice proper bankroll management to ensure you can withstand the natural ups and downs of the game. A commonly recommended guideline is to have at least 20-30 buy-ins for the stakes you intend to play. For example, if you plan to play $1/$2 No-Limit Holdem cash games with a buy-in of $200, a bankroll of $4,000 to $6,000 would be reasonable.
  2. Skill Level: If you are a beginner or relatively new to the game, starting with a smaller deposit might be advisable. This allows you to gain experience and improve your skills without risking a significant amount of money. As you become more proficient and confident in your abilities, you can consider increasing your deposit amount.
  3. Risk Tolerance: Your personal risk tolerance is another factor to consider. Some players are more comfortable taking larger risks with their bankroll, while others prefer a more conservative approach. Assess your comfort level and make deposit decisions accordingly.
  4. Game Selection: The stakes at which you plan to play will influence your deposit amount. Lower stakes generally require smaller deposits, while higher stakes necessitate larger deposits. Evaluate the stakes that align with your skill level and financial resources.
Remember that poker is a game of skill with inherent risks. It's essential to only deposit an amount that you can comfortably afford to lose without it impacting your financial stability or causing undue stress. It's also worth considering starting with a smaller deposit and gradually increasing it as you gain experience and confidence in your abilities.

Which games do you play to build your bankroll?
90% of my bankroll is money I won in freerolls. I believe that there is no need to deposit your own funds, you can build a bankroll by playing only in freerolls, if you are patient and disciplined enough :)

Been many years since I made a deposit. I only play freerolls and in a weekly game with a £5.50 buy-in. Luckily I make a small profit playing that game so (currently) don't need to make any more deposits.

I deposit rarely, about once a year. I have been playing poker since 2017 and only deposit to have a withdrawal method available.

This days a play freerolls by CC. (In case, if I don't want to make a deposit.) If I have a decent bankroll I play cash games.


About the the deposit; I always deposited the smallest amount; it has happened several times a month, but it is always the smallest amount.

I don't make deposits as I don't play for money. Only freerolls. I've made a clear line for myself that I shouldn't spend money on poker. Because then I will become a gambler, and this will only lead to unnecessary negative emotions. So if I do play for money (only to fulfill special tasks of the poker room in return for tournament tickets or other gifts), I do it in a very limited way. :sneaky::geek:

I haven’t deposited for a long time. I’m just playing off free rolls and I take out the odd $20 here and there if I get enough.

It depends on the tournament, how much the ticket costs, and how often you want to participate
