Probably 10$ in 1-2 months. But mostly I deposit from my winnings.

This year I have not invested a single penny. And for my region, deposits are now incredibly complicated. I am currently planning on getting a new bank card and will need to reset at least some minimum to connect to the room.

I invest nothing, in terms of money. I play freerolls and work up a bankroll from nothing. On one site I've worked it up into the low 4-figures. Not bad eh?!

What I *DO* invest is my time. I spent up to 16 hours playing poker some days. Most days.

For me, as a retiree, time is essentially free. And I'm not playing to try and become a millionaire, money is not my motivation. I play poker for the challenge, and for the love of the game. Poker is the greatest thinking game I've ever found.

I use a freeroll. Because I don't actually invest in poker. Previously, I could spend up to $ 100 a month on this. But then I won significantly more and brought it to the card.

When I started I deposited the minimum in the room, today my entire bank is with freerolls, good and great things can be achieved with a lot of patience and perseverance,there are many promotions in networks to get tickets and that also serves to grow the bankroll:jd4::jd4::jd4::jd4:

I don't invest money in poker. I consider myself a Tournament player, so I build my starting capital from freerolls.
If I were a cash game player, it would be reasonable for me to deposit a small amount into a poker room.

I play freerolls. It turns out that I win in freerolls and I invest in the game itself.

I don’t invest in poker. I made only minimal deposits to withdraw the won money.

I like to think not much but if I really look at it it’s quite a bit sometimes I do well but I think I loose a lot.

I set deposit limits on my sites: 20 dollars a month on pokerstars and 60 dollars a month on ggpoker, so I can't lose more than 80 a month, but sometimes I manage to lose less.

I haven't invested money not because I don't want to but because I don't have

Nothing, absolutely nothing, never have and never will, I play for the pure enjoyment of the game, and it is never about the money, that is why I can play without worrying about how much I am winning or losing because the money is just a bonus for playing well.

I have never made a deposit and can play every day if I want to, even Live games are free now because I won more games than I lost and my bankroll is safe and secure for when I restart playing live after these lock-downs are finally over.

I learned how to play poker on-line by playing, play-money games, and I always treated them as if it was real money, Pokerstars had a system in the early days of staking you 2,000 in play money chips, and if you lost the lot you could re-stack for free.
I never re-stacked and built up a bankroll of over 650,000 in play money, all the time playing in many free-roll tournaments, building up a small amount in real cash, and I think I had around $50 in real cash when I first started to buy into .25 cent games.

I have done the same on other sites and and built up to $150 on three other sites before I got sick of their changes and cashed out on 2 of them, one first stopped their free-roll games because they had a limited player list and they transferred my money onto their Sports betting site, so cashed out, the second site stopped playing their free-roll point games and I cashed out with them.
The third site went bust and I thought I had lost the $150 for good until Pokerstars came to the rescue and credited my Stars account with the money, so never really lost there.

My bankroll now on Pokerstars is over $465.00+, and I regularly buy-in to SnGs games just for the pleasure the game gives me, I will never get rich from Poker, and I don't want cash riches, I am rich enough in other ways, Play for the love of the game, Play for pure pleasure the games give me and always remember---

When the fun Stops, STOP!

My wife just changed her mind and now she allows me to deposit only 20 dollars on pokerstars and 40 on ggpoker. That's not much but it will have to do. A month ago she was okay with 20 on pokerstars and 60 on gg.

I don't invest too much in poker, if I play a lot of free tournaments, I usually do very well in the casino, I am quite lucky with the machines.
