How much money did you start playing poker with?

[Ram41k]

First bankroll

In the beginning it was the play money on pokerstars. After that there were freeroll tournaments - which gave the first bankroll ... At that time it was 12 $.

I start with freerolls like 10 years ago, i grind it to 5 digit bankroll..

Now i miss poker, i have a crhonical desease and i want to be back

 

[MrPokerVerse]

Started with $50.00 on PokerStars and never looked back. Few months later, repeated it on Full Tilt. Might have done $25.00 on Carbon but can't remember.

200 dollars. Never had to deposit again.

 

[Raccoony]

I started with nothing just by playing freerolls,didn't have to deposit because there were so many of them before.

$25 Two Times

Started with $25 and lost it. Deposited another $25 and still playing. About two years total now.

I started playing poker with freerolls 3 years ago and try to deposit $10 to withdraw the money. I withdrew many times and never have to put more money in the poker since then.

 

[canabero]

how much money did you start playing poker with? and how long are you now

Online - I have only deposited $50 on one site and on all other sites used freerolls to build my bankroll. I like to keep 100 buy-ins at micros in the cashier and cash out anything above that.

i started with only 10€ playing small cash games and moved on and up busted my bankroll a few times but now i am on a stable level

 

[vittopio]

I started and continue to play only for the money won from freerolls (fortunately, there were more than enough of them to build a bankroll). Now I have some money to feed my game with!

Risky...only because PokerStars is paranoid but successful!

I call it the fisherman's method or bait method.

To explain....the fisherman who uses fake bait...if successful can pull a lot of fish out from that one bait.

Start with a tournament or cash game where the buy-in is $20 or $40. I think I used $40. If in a cash game, you win a good hand and turn your $20 into $45...STOP! Withdraw ONLY WHAT YOU WON. In this case the $25 dollars. Sometimes, I wouldn't even continue playing until after I went to a ATM and actually withdrew that $25 dollars. Then, I would use the $20 that's left in the account and do it all over again! The $20 dollars is the bait! Whatever you profit is the fish. There's times when I would do one good hand.....PER DAY. So like in the case I just mentioned....after I withdrew that $25 dollars. I wouldn't play again till the next day. I used to love playing $40 tournaments, making it pass the bubble and profiting $30, $40, $50, $60 or $70, withdrawing the profit and waiting till tomorrow to play with the $40 again until I lost the $40. I would have lost the $40 but I would have made $100, $200 or $300 by then. Ahhhhhhhhh….good times LOL!............Wait!!! I forgot to explain the Title! LOLOLOL! So the reason why I stated what I stated about PokerStars being paranoid and probably just about every other online site is because this method breeds suspicion. PokerStars felt as though I was withdrawing too many times and suspected I was laundering money! So yeah, my account got suspended a lot. This lead me to try out the live circuit and I found I'm way more successful live. So after Covid-19 is gone, I'm going live as much as possible!

I started with the smallest allowable amount of the deposit. A year ago. So far, the situation is not very successful.

 

[Peter Nesskquick]

I started with freerolls and raised $ 400. Then I made a mistake... I lost everything in spin&go at pokerstars for $ 100 on my emotions. Then I made a Deposit of $ 1000 and lost in spin&go. After that, I took a break for 3 years, now I only play freerolls.

 

[Stasey]

started with 10$

 

[Dimission]

In the past i have deposited a lot of money to play. Now i get my pleasure from Freerolls and it is my sport and challenge to get as much money as possible from it.

 

[fhruhrhit]

100$.and now 400$.

 

[amatola]

Had to verify my first account, think it was $3 or so. Now up to $800 - but taken close to a year and many, MANY hours. Not feasable for most people with 9 - 5 jobs.

Star capital

I started my game back in the year with freeroll tournaments on the poker site Parimatch. I don’t play freeroll now, so I will stick to a bankroll of $ 1000 on Pokerstars.

 

[77ecos]

I started with 25 dollars, normally in most places I deposited the minimum and this is how I started, 8 years ago or more, not having much knowledge or giving it the correct importance I always ended up losing, those who start I always recommend depositing the minimum and play many freerolls, the goal should never be to deposit and grow the bankroll with the minimum investment.

 

[terryk]

[marcelo benavidez]
