The best start is deposit your own money. From freeroll to win nothing

Long ago, in a galaxy far far away.

Yes, me too, in 2001, joined royal vegas Poker on the Prima Network and they gave a No Strings, $10 Free Money, No Deposit. And thru some miracle I built that little $10 up into gigantic returns :eek:

I started my online poker bankroll with depositing onto bovada. Once I started playing, I found that other websites offered freeroll opportunities in which I joined a few because of that reason. So basically, it depends on which site you refer to as how I got my bankroll.

Freerolled up back when online poker was legal in the USA. Or at least a gray area. For live, just pulled a bit of spare cash out of my pocket and luckily started winning straight away.

I started out with a $ 50 free bankroll from an affiliate site at Party Poker )in Feb. 2011). Never used my own money since then and grinded it up from there (not really much, but its okay to me).

I Deposited on Bovada for my first time 40 bucks...worked it up to 60 then joined a MTT tournament and ran deep but not deep enough and didn't come in the money then lost the rest at cash games. `Sigh!! I Then decided to take on there daily $20 freeroll tourneys, Where it took a few days due to Donkfest players and i came in 1st ($5.40). I then started playing Sit And Go's at micro stakes 1.10 buy in's. I slowly ran my $5.40 up to 25 bucks! So I thought maybe Sit And go's have the best potential to build my bankroll. I Continues playing the $1.10 sit and go's and sometimes switching it up to $4.40 Sit and go's and continued to play the daily $20 freerolls has well....because well....its free...came in the money more than a few times and before I knew it i had my First Deposit back which was $40 bucks and i was up 18 bucks...my total being 58.00... i was super content with my strategy and began a bankroll management grind....i now have 213.66 after 4 weeks of grinding it out plus my 100% bonus match. So it is possible to build up for free....but its a grind...takes alot of discipline... once i reach 300 i will switch to higher buy in's and see how it goes!! GOOD LUCK ALL!!!!

I started by playing freerolls on Full Tilt, whenever I had enough to play a reg $1 STT I would and went from there. pokerstars did the same, except after withdrawing some from Full Tilt I min deposited $10 for some bonus or freerolls, etc. But of course since black friday can no longer play at PS.

My current BR on a merge site is from freerolls also. But they were preBF and I believe PLO. Saw a post here or on another forum about being able to sit out into the money, and tried it out.

I have never understood why people would insist on playing freerolls only until a certain amount of money. Once you have a buyin for a game play it, no point waiting.
