Not much as I only play for fun. A maximum of $ 10 to $ 20. Since the variance in poker is too great, I don't think you can generate great profits in the long term. At least not if you still have a full-time job. You have to play a lot of hands to make a profit and to compensate for the variance. No matter how good you play poker. So only play with smaller amounts for fun and who knows maybe you will succeed in the lucky poker coup after all, but that has nothing to do with professional online poker. You have to play 20 tables simultaneously for 8 hours a day and use poker HUDS to collect information about your opponents. It is only worthwhile for professional online poker players if there are enough fish at one table.

As far as cash is concerned, not a single red cent! Not of my own, money that is, I leave that to the Fish and Donks out there to give me their's.
I started playing Free-rolls on quite a few sites, and some I carried on playing as I enjoyed the software and feel of a site, never wanting to withdraw money I won, because to me I classed it all as "Virtual Money" and not real Cash.
Time however, if you wanted to measure that into the mix would be hours and hours, maybe Thousands of hours, but when you hit retirement, Time is one of the things I have plenty of, and yet less than most, but it still has little monetary value to me, Some say their time is valuable, but I say Why? because you cannot trade it for material things, and when you die you cannot take it with you, Time can only be spent, so spend it doing what you enjoy, and damn the expense.
Poker is and always will be fun and pleasure for me and all the time I play, is time well spent.
When the fun Stops, STOP!

The ideal would be to start playing with play money, to know and learn the game, after you become familiar with the poker face, and you are building a solid game, you have to make one or more deposits of no more than $ 20 dollars, which They will serve you to try to continue learning and build your bankroll., from the micro limits, which is where we should start those who try to build our game, it is for me the most effective way to shape our life in poker, after practice what you have learned, of course implement how to study all their movements from the professionals and try to copy several of their movements, if for some reason you lose what you have invested do not worry, you have to return to play and train more in play money, rules of the game, , patience perseverance and never pay to lose ,,,always have your mind healthy to make the best decision ,, luck that we will all need it ,,, greetings ,,

I have not invested much in online poker, all the time I managed to win a little, lose a little ... but it seems to me that live poker is different from internet poker ... although in live poker sometimes there are such hands ... that it is difficult to contain emotions ... here as you are lucky .. but real shows that always wins .. casino!:deal:

Hi! I have only spent time playing online poker and have not invested any money what so ever. I have only played real live poker on 2 occasions for charity and "donated" all $500 dollar playing the charity poker game.

I invest 80 dollars a month. That's my deposit limit (20 dollars on pokerstars and 60 on ggpoker). I don't want to spend any more on poker.

Each site I play at, I made 1 deposit of $50. As soon as I have made $50. I take my initial $50 deposited money out and from there just use the money I make in poker. I never deposit again at each poker site. The only reason I deposit in the first place is to take advantage of any first time deposit promos going. If my bank roll starts getting too small, then I start playing A LOT low stakes or freerolls only until I build it back up again, then play stakes according to my bankroll. Then its just a time investment. Seems to work very well for me.

Just learning to play professionally before starting to really invest in poker, just taking part in forums to play freerolls and then do my 2nd deposit and start making some real funds. Have a minimum balance that i'm trying to build on by playing .25c and .10c tourni's and other freerolls on pokerstars... I play on other sites as practice for building patience and hand waiting and other lil things to learn, so it's doing things steady and learning

This post does not belong here! There is a thread for online rigged poker site conspiracy theories. Go find it and enjoy the company of other like-minded players who have not done their due diligence, the research, and the investigations to understand the truth. Buy a HUD, record a hundred thousand hands, preferably more, and then run them through the probability tools available online. If you find fraud and rigged results, please submit your vetted research report in the appropriate thread.
Enjoy your live games and stay off-line.

This question i would be split. At first i spoke over my investment of time and cognitive possiblities. I use alot of time to develop my game, maybe to much time of my life. I watch a lot of pokerstreaming on twitch, my absolut favourite is renemastermix. He win some big cashes and his way to stream and explain his thinkings of the decisions help me to getting better and winning more money in tourney. Sometimes if i win i use to much time to poker. And other important facts of my life are in a disadvantage position. Or i could not concentrate on things in which i could money. I make no deposit so i loose no money respectively invest not money. In freerolls i earn regularly some cash. So i could invest in micro tourney to make my bankroll bigger. In some phases i have a positive rate but then i loose my money on casino slots or other poker formats as tourney.
