Is Your bankroll higher than $100 USD? How long have you played poker?

[G0930]

It is some mistake for sure, It is crazy idiot and stupid. It is good that I am playing CC freerolls since 2-3 weeks. So You can be sure that it was not me (that looser who report You).

Think it was someone in games the last days who doesn't understand variance.

Outside from CC .
But the only thing PS could find was this hand which from pure data my fold doesn't make sense .
But playing against people you know ...there are other rules than relying purely on math

 

[Grzegorz00pl]

I have 10 dollars I hope to reach $100 soon, good luck to everyone.

And that's it. This is poker. From $10 even $100,000! Win my friend! Good Luck!

 

[laihuynh]

I used to spend a lot on gambling about $100,000.
Since I switched to poker and gained a little

 

[Grzegorz00pl]

I play for 20 years and my bankroll is -100 00K

This is the best information for me... but should be 2 years not 20 years .
I hope, I will get very soon 100k usd bankroll playing poker.
I got such big ammount at my casino account, but it was about win only slots (not poker - so it is not okey-now must be only poker - i hate slots). My bankroll was over 100k usd only few hours because of slots.

In tournament poker, the optimum bankroll size is typically recommended to be around 100 buy-ins. This guideline accounts for the higher variance in tournaments due to their structure, where a single buy-in might not cover the substantial fluctuations. Maintaining a robust bankroll ensures resilience during inevitable downswings and supports a more sustainable and enjoyable tournament poker experience. The specific circumstances of the player, such as risk tolerance and playing style, can influence the ideal bankroll size. A well-managed bankroll is crucial for navigating the unpredictable nature of tournament poker and fostering long-term success in the competitive arena.

[Marshmalo1994]

Yes. I played more than two years once I turned 18 (I use to play some play money games before). I start playing again on september last year. Both times I was able to build a bankroll from zero.

 

[dreamer13]

I’ve been playing for 20 years. Nowadays, many players come to poker with excellent mathematical training. They have deeply studied the hardware, but have a worse feel for poker itself.An essential part of playing poker professionally is self-management and preparation for the game.

 

[andron205]

the airbag must have at least 100

 

[Pokerpoet2]

I would like to know Which one? I have made several bankroll's that topped $100, My pokerstars BR stands at over $600 at present.
So yes They all have and I have been playing for over 20 years.

 

[Peteski84]

Been playing on pokerstar about 4-5 years ago.
I only play freeroll and micro tournaments.
I invested $30 over a period of 3 months and now i am at $210. With the majority being from this year, Been a good year. Once i hit $100 i was able to increase the number of games i play.
I dont see this as money, i see it as my score. Though i have no intention of wasting it.
Please keep rising for me.

 

[Arthurinacio17a]

NO.
I play poker more than 10 years.

 

[Colbefc]

I have played poker for 50+ years and I keep my bankroll at around £200.

 

[TheKAAHK]

Yes. Has been for a very long time.
What I keep online and what I have for an online bankroll are 2 different #'s, but I usually have $500 minimum set aside for an online 'roll.
Live, my current bankroll is somewhat ever evolving as I keep more than enough to play my regular tourneys but also use it for some side cash to buy my lady something nice once in a while. Currently it's at just over $2200
And I've been playing for nearly 30 years

 

[robbieb]

My highest win was $110. Got deep in tournaments absolutely robbed a few times. Recently had AA vs AQ and they caught a running flush. Had I won the tournament it would have won $300. Otherwise my bankroll just goes up and down. But mostly down.

 

[AndyFio]

My bankroll is no more than $100 because I mostly play freerolls. They taught me to play as a child, more than 10 years ago, I played with long breaks.

 

[riff_raff312]

No i really don't think you can make enough money at online poker to retire of quit your job i started playing when the pandemic started, i put $20.00 in my PS account and now i have $482.00 mostly from free rolls and some low stakes pko mtts.

poker online is tough these days. NEVER EVER aspire to be a pro poker player. A tiny percentage will be consistent enough playing at levels to make a comfortable living. These players will be using the latest tracking software and be able to beat regular players who don't use software without even looking at their cards. They can beat you just by doing what their software tells them to do. This will make them profitable long term. You have to be a very special poker player to beat the game with the tracker software pros everywhere. At micro levels, you may be able to be slightly profitable over time in tournaments, but pros are in the micro cash games these days with software. Play for fun, see if you enjoy the small wins. If you start losing, GIVE UP before you lose another million. You have a real problem if you've lost that much money gambling and you still have aspirations of being a pro poker player.

Short answer, you are wasting your time dreaming of making serious money playing poker, especially if you can't build over $100 bankroll. I used to have a steady bankroll of $2,000 and build it to $4,000, then cash out $2,000 and start building again. I did this continually for a few years when the game was easier 15 years ago. This was a serious slog, hard work of far too many hours spent at a computer screen. I only made around $20,000 in about 4 years. The little extra money was handy and it was a nice experience being a slightly profitable player for a while, but the game is tougher now with tacking software pros everywhere. I was better live, but the local live games dried up. Have fun playing at micro levels. If you start winning at micro levels, you are beating the game at those levels, but it's tough to even do that. You need to consistently be winning to even consider to move up on level. And that means building, not to $100 but $1,000. You should only buy in for 2% of your bankroll at once according to Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, who created the bankroll challenge.
This is when playing tournaments. You can buy in for 4% in cash games. So, if you have $100 bankroll NEVER buy in for more than $2 in a tournament or never sit down in a cash game with more than $4. If you build your bankroll at these levels then you may try a higher level. If not. You are a losing poker player and need to study the game more through reading or training. Software at these levels isn't cost effective for most people at these levels, so just have fun and if you can't double a $100 bankroll, then just try not to lose too much. Let alone $1million🤑🤢🤮

That's not how tracking software works. All it does is track and display playing habits. You still have to be able to understand and use this information properly. Nothing about it plays or makes decisions for you. Like any tool it's just a tool and if used properly it can be an aid but if not used properly then it will be detrimental.
Programs like GTO Wizard (not even sure if that's still a thing) are also banned from being used in real-time at the tables. Again, it's another tool, but these programs do not play for you.

My managed to make upto $90 from $0 but I lost everything because I played 25NL on tilt after that I haven’t played much but will soon continue to play more and more after depositing some money.
