I've only just started taking poker seriously and playing more regularly.

I'm currently reading/watching through the Cardschat 30 day poker school to try and better understand some of the theory etc while playing (it's been VERY informative so far so hats off to the creators)

I'm relatively limited in terms of free cash (and have had to learn my lessons on budgeting etc in day-to-day life the hard way, but that's another story). Obviously, I won't want to invest money I don't have so currently I'm limiting myself to putting about £10-20 per month into the pot for poker and looking to hopefully bolster that a bit more with some wins (and some freerolls hopefully as well) and see where I go from there.

If I lose £20 a month I can live with that, and ultimately I'll have had some fun whilst doing it :)

I never invest in Poker. I sometimes deposit to gamble in the casino, but this is "throw-away-money".

I am investing 150$ montly, i win at poker but i lose at the casino, if i play only poker i win averange 25$ per day.
I invested $25 6 years ago and have run it up to a $15,000 stake. This is the first year I've withdrawn from the account to keep my stake to buy in ratio at 300:1. While I was running the stake up, I kept the ratio at 50:1 progressing from $1 to $3 to $7 to $15 to $25 and finally $50 triple up SNG games.

Here lately it's been just time. I've been watching my roll go up and down and up and down and blah, blah, blah. It's just real hard for me to put a decent amount of money into an online site.

In the beginning, I deposited $20 many years ago, since then I have/had a bankroll.
This year I started my bankroll from zero, building it only from freerolls.
I have already withdrawn over $100 and I still have about the same amount in the rooms.

Around 50 a week, some weeks more, some less. Loving the game a lot and looking forwards the day I post in the big win section!
Time wise, I have invested more than a decade and now more so than ever as they game and people playing it pick up the pace and seriousness of it.

I try not to invest in poker, because the task of poker is completely different.

I invested since 2016 60 dollars. Since then, what I have comes from poker awards.

Practically nothing, only the necessary minimum for various mandatory transactions.

I typically play freerolls to accumulate a bankroll. But I also end up losing it at the casino. I guess we all have our vices. lol

I just invest my time and play the freerolls. That's because I don't have time to play professionally. I often have to drop out of a tournament I'm playing to fulfill work commitments.

I always invest time and money to be able to earn in the long term, but it is not easy, you need to work hard and every day to study and learn from your mistakes.

I've never invested in online poker. I try to play the free freerrolls and make some money to play small buy-in tournaments. The biggest tournament I played was a $11 tournament and because PS gave me a ticket. Hug

i have invested at least 1000 usd in poker, for a time i played, thought i played well but realized that there is a lot more to poker than just playing big hands, its getting reads on opponents, knowing when to bluff, and knowing ranges, play styles, gathering info,etc its more than just run good

I don't invest money in poker. I play freerolls or qualify for big events by coupons. I have won money in big tournaments so I withdraw most of it and 'reinvest' like 10% of my earnings.
