I started with a minimum buy-in of $ 5 and spent about $ 15-20 of my money in my entire poker career.
Now I have about a year or two of poker experience and I play freerolls and haven't really gotten anywhere, but I take some places in tournaments, but it's not that, but I started to play better, understand something in poker, but I feel which is far from a good game.
I watch streams about players and it seems to me that I play as well as they do, but I'm doing something wrong ((

I started from zero on every site I have played on and built up 4 small but playable bankrolls, my best being on pokerstars, which stands at over $350 right now. I have £200 on Betfred Poker, I had £156.00 on one site that stopped playing Poker and transferred my cash to a sports betting side to there site so withdrew it (I hate to Gamble). I even had over £150.00 on PKR.com that went into liquidation some years ago, all from free-rolls,
My poker hobby I can honestly say has cost me nothing, even playing in Live games, I have been pretty lucky because of the experience from on-line poker.
I ran a local Pub Poker league and have been to many regional final games for free even made The National Finals once.
Will I ever go Pro? Never. and I certainly wouldn't want to because then it becomes a job, and you have to play a lot more hours and a lot more games than I do now.
Keep it fun and remember--
When the fun Stops, STOP!

It was 1 deposit but there was a welcome bonus they gave you tickets and 50% of the initial deposit and it was $ 30 but I could not take advantage of it since I knew very little about the game, they combed all my money it was horrible, until today the wound is still open my 30 dollars hurt me

You should only play for as much money as you are willing to lose. This leaves poker just a pastime for you. That's why you don't have to take breaks. And the whole thing has one more advantage: You play better. If you play for stakes that you cannot afford, you will play too carefully. You will not get the full benefit of your profits and that is fatal in the long run.
You need a good bankroll management. If you play No Limit Holdem then 100 blinds are one buy-in. You should always have 25 buy-ins available. Under 25 buy-ins you should go to the next lower limit. For example, in a no limit $ 0.02 / 0.04 cash game, $ 4 is a buy-in and you should have at least 25 buy-ins so deposit $ 100.

It seems for me, that you know how to build yourself up. This is a nice bankroll, don't know tho how much time took for you to make it, but from zero definitely a great achievement, that you can be proud of.
The fact that it cost you nothing even makes an impact, that this hobby is actually is nothing to be afraid to being passionate about.
I think you can be at the level where you are playing a pro without noticing that you are actually a pro. This is just even a word, you know. But if you are capable the be a winner player at the levels that you chose, doesn't mean that you are some kind of pro at that levels?
One more exciting thing is that you made me think when you said the fun stop, stop. You are absolutely right, being desperate in poker is just like you cannot breathe properly, will not be great to the health. I was sometimes placed myself in situations, where I didn't find fun it, but not in a permanent way, just like when you eat too much from a cake, you can be discusted a little about it. Maybe there are limits, we have to follow.
Really like your attitude, and good luck in the poker field.

Thank you for your kind remarks, I feel more like a mediocre fun player because to me Poker is a fun game and can be enjoyed by anyone who can control their emotions and accept losing a few games, give it a few days rest, do a bit of reading, and research then back to the tables to win more than they originally lost.
I have had bad days when things seem to go absolutely wrong all the time, I can lose several games in one day, then go back to it 2 or 3 days later and cannot play a hand wrong, Variance can be a b**ch, but so does everything in life and in everything we do.
If we can ride out the storms we sometimes face in life, fair weather is just around the corner, and it is the same in Poker!
Thank you again my friend, much appreciated!
Good Luck on the Felt!
