SO I've heard about Pros like Chris Ferguson turning nothing into thousands of dollars, was just curious if anyone here has any crazy success stories starting from the bottom?

I Think there are people who as you say climbed from the Nool played at the top of the freerolls and participated in various promotions I kwho many times participated in many tournaments _boot and won two hundred dollars I withdrew them and other people took advantage of the Eimi money on Another here's an example of nothing two hundred dollars well who won the 1000 draw is held on 5000

I don't know, I won $109 in Cash from $1, although before that it was 0, for one day. I think this is a great result. I do not seek to preserve the bankroll, I play freely. Thank you!

I started playing freerolls and then microlimits and reached $ 1400 !!! This is the maximum amount that I had in my pokerstars account !!!

I am still very far from such accomplishment but i earned few bucks from zero. I hope for more in future.

I started playing for free with no deposit bonuses when they were still offered for many rooms. I rarely deposit own money, approximately only 250$ in several years when cool bonuses or promotions required a deposit. I cashed out about $3000 so far... Mostly from MTTs when I made it to the final table and won a few hundred dollars at once...

So technically I have gone from 0 to thousands, but I guess you were looking for people who made it a lot faster...

But around 2008, when online poker was really booming I made around 70K by referring players to poker sites as an affiliate.

The best I've done is going all the way to 100 dollars, getting my funds from freerolls. That's why I value freerolls so much, it gives an opportunity to play money poker without actually investing money.

I have played the micro tournaments and gone where i won one of those for $1600 then i turned around and used a lot of that to bankroll myself. So far I have a profit of about $5000 in the last year or so but its been insanely frustrating and there have been a lot of ups and downs and bad beats at times when I thought I would win a lot lot more. I'm hoping to break through though and win some bigger tourneys the next couple of years. My most recent big win was in the Sunday Storm $11 buy in. I came in 7th place and ended up winning $1600 in that one too, but that was another one of those situations where i probably should have made no less than 3k and i was kicking myself with the way i busted.

Yes, I started with freerolls in Pokerstars School and I reached +1000$. And I did twice, the other day I won two freerolls and I won a ticket for Million Dollar Sunday and I cashed 1000$.

cool topic, i always like to hear when people win money i myself have no such stories :P but thats my goal actually, i dont want to pay in anything so im starting from scratch

There are a lot of players in this forum who are working on such tasks. And some who have surpassed it. I see a lot of players from here building nice bank rolls from nothing and playing solid poker which has inspired me to do the same.
I turned 2$ into 6k on FTP once but i made a 50$ deposit so it don't count as 1000's from nothing.
I am currently around 80$ BR from nothing on ACR. I don't always play but i do see other players from this forum showing a legit $1400+ profit from nothing on sharkscope. It's really impressive and 100% possible. GL brother.

not sure. i have gone from putting in 20$ to 8k$ once.

in 2007 i made over 5000$ from a 25$ deposit on PKR.com i think i was on my A game at that time i have just started back playing online poker so im starting from 0$ I WILL keep you informed with my progress

I raised my bankroll several times from zero to $ 100-200 but I couldn’t save or increase success for a long time, I played for fun and could load all the money into tournaments in one session!

that's what I always do during past 3-4 years.
but i'm playing poker during my work hours, as a relaxing hobby... drawing things and playing couple of tables at the same time.


in 2016 i hit Eur2K in 4 months starting from 0 at iPoker, freerolls-tickets, got a bankroll boost by winning 1K grtd 1eur buy-in, was $220, then started to play cash 6-9 tables and moved up to playing 9 tables at NL20. Made another Eur300 during rest of the year after the cashout...
in 2017 repeated it at iPoker, but made cashouts at Eur500 and Eur800 plus won something inbetween 200-300 at PS and some more at other networks.
in 2018 won $500 at PS and total Eur1600 at iPoker + several hundreds from other networks.
in 2019 currently cashed out $250 from ACR, approx $200 from SB or BoL, Eur500 from iPoker, and approx $150 from Party.

So far i'm investing all poker winnings and buying parts for new machines and devices that i create and that's why i'm withdrawing so early without making a move to higher limits. I don't want to take poker seriously, and that's what you have to do at high limits. I got much more interesting things to do and these things require my concentrations and that's why I don't want to be tilted because of bad beats or big wins.

I've found out that I have to block my stats for sites where i'm playing at most of the poker tracking sites, cause my ROI looks really dangerous comparing to average players... for example my Partypoker stats:
https://www.sharkscope.com/#Player-S...layers/f1shark
ROI has falled down at PartyPoker because I've lost with $22 ticket that I've got from CC freeroll.
was 2900% at ACR before I've blocked it and close to 1000% at couple more sites.

These are interesting stories that I hope I can replicate in time as I continue getting more and more poker experience and enjoy playing the freerolls, promotions, and microstakes online.

I have never done that before but I would like to do that. Actually is one of my poker goals and I gonna achieve it. I always set new poker goals and I think about that and I also think about what I want to achieve and I just try to do my best and achieve my goals, make my dreams come true.

Study hard, practice and dream big and you could accomplish all your goals goal

I get out of the 0 for an amount of $ 700 including all the poker sites, this without making any deposit! And I was happy to participate in a $ 215 buy-in tournament !!

i made 30 dollar profit from a lot of freerolls

I've gone from thousand to zero.

I've already made a good amount of poker and started playing freerolls, but it's not such a huge amount.

from 0 no but yes from 15, my best achievement is a 1250 cash in a 3.30 tournament in wich ive played for 9 hours.

Thomas “Boku87” Bohoff, a famous player on PokerStars in 2010 turned $ 5 into $ 100,000 in 10 months! I watched his game - it was cool.

No crazy success story from me, it’s just a case of playing and working hard to improve my game. I started off with $25 built it up playing Micro Stakes (1/2 cent) on Pokerstars and then took it from there!

I think crazy success stories are rare as I think you’ll need a lot of luck to make mega £££/$$$ fast!

And those who have, probably haven’t had much luck apart from that lucky win!

LOL
So do you figure the average players are going to be looking up your stats.? And if so, is it going to intimidate them or have them play differently vs. you? If so, in what way(s)?

Also, no one has ever heard about success in poker.It is clear that there are those who win and play plus. I had a good place in the tournament and with 0 up to$ 100 was also raised. Again, it happens on the game you do everything right and the cards are good on hand, but luck is not on your side anyway and as a result again at zero. So play in its udovlstvie.

in 20 years playing online poker I managed several times to earn a few cents to invest them in a good amount of money this especially when I started playing and to be honest without knowing much about the management of the bankroll

i did 1 $ no deposit bonus on 888poker to 30$ lol not much but still big deal for me

That’s a good start mate! Well done! :-)

I have gone from zero to hundreds several times.

I think, you're old and naive. 15 y.o. boy in 55-60 y.o. old body. Maybe body is younger, but 15.y.o. naive knowledge is what I see.
Who is average player by your opinion? Check the tables, average player has registered several years ago and plays several thousands tourneys per year.
Do you believe that today, in 2019, players are too stupid to find sharkscope and free alternatives like officialplayerrankings and it's skin = playerscope.com ???? DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT IT'S HARD TO FIND AND USE?
Well it's in top 10 google results, plus links with players stats are often shared via live chats, forums, freeroll password sites and social networks. At russian poker sites 100% of users know and use poker tracking sites. Cause playerscope is 100% free.
I believe that you're playing at ACR and other american sites, so you're only able to use sharkscope, and it's giving just 5 free searches per day, plus you have to manually type nicknames there. As for playerscope and PokerStars - you can simply click and copy/paste nicknames into the search field. It's just 5 seconds, 8 opponents = 40 seconds. And you can browse stats by sorting them any way you want, date/buy-ins/places taken and so on. Piece of cake.

Now, if the player is using his brain during his poker session and he is able to check stats plus collects real time info on his opponents
then
how will this player be acting with his pocket sevens against:

a) opponent who folded 20 hands in a row, has +20% ROI after 3K games with $11 average buy-in and right now this opponent 3bets against heros 77 and wants 50% of heros stack to see the flop.

and

b) opponent who played 40-50% of hands dealt, has -20% ROI after 3K games and pushes all-in against heros pocket sevens.

Do you see any logic here? I hope it's not breaking your link with reality, but you know, it's all quite simple, very simple actually, as simple as "google this - google that". Kids do this nova days.

You see, there is a difference between objective and subjective thinking. Objectively you like what I'm doing, you like my style, cause you're one of my followers now, but you can't admit it. It's some area of reverse psychology. You're not a snaguine person, cause sanguines start to admire right away, you're more like melancholic or choleric introvert who might be thinking that world is spinning around him, and things are exactly as you see them and you can't be mistaken, cause you're the center of this universe.

I've engraved something in oak wood recently, it might help you. Photo isn't quite good, but I'll make a post soon with better photos and finished works. It's not quire scientific, but it's a good image of the ladder you have in your mind, and you really think that average player is one of the first two in this ladder, but you're as wrong as this ladder is.

That's all well n said and makes a lot of sense. But for me. Irdc about the players reputation or how they play. I just play my cards and base my info on the community cards as this determines my next action (works better in live play) as there's less likely chances if sickout hands n badbeats. And that's how I mostly lose online with runner runner straights or 1 card flushes on river. I can't complain about donk losses cos that's mainly how I win most of my tournies.

For example
Me 36 vs AKs lolol

Chances the AK hand will 3bet +
So with hand being 50. $1

The blinds and callers makes pot around 4.

Then flop = 3 6 A

They c bet + and I'll call to make pot about 12.

They're feeling all comfortable with their ace kicker if the turn is an 8 and probably check to me so I'll pot bet and likely get a call to make the pot about 36

The river will hopefully be a 10
(As this means no straights or flushes.)

They may go for value but either way I'm all in.

And my 2pair will be good most of the time
Except at stars where my 2pairs get killed by a bigger 2pair or trips.

Nowadays I'm so used to knowing I'm going to get killed off and go broke so I've reduced my deposit limits and choose to play more live games and my results live are a lot better than my shrakscope smarkscope sh...t

Thus y I play my cards. My way without over thinking what my opponents(s) might do or have.

I have gone from 0 to a couple thousand in about a fortnight

I have also gone from over a thousand to 0 in less than a day

Your ridiculous examples speak loudly, LMAO.

If I go to one of those sites, does it let me know you're a homophobic clown? Or do I just rely on google &/or common sense for that?

& fwiw, clown, you didn't answer the questions I wrote to you. Please give it a shot... I want to laugh some more.

At the moment, I certainly have nothing to boast of, but I would like to achieve success in poker in the near future and start earning my favorite hobby.

Did you know?... making money from nothing is infinity percent return.

I'm just waiting for some stories about the way from thousands to 0 playing online poker

Last year I went from 0 to $3300 in less than 10 days. That was one of my best performance.

Wow, nice joke there buddy! But, with such nicknames, why you're calling someone a clown?

I've asked you about something real that you've done for this world, for example I've done more than 10K wooden toys for children, 2K sets of alphabet letters.100% natural and safe. I've done several interior designs for few churches. Not speaking about the furniture, advertisement and other things, like machines. What have you done, let us know? I've helped 2000 children to learn alphabet, and did it with money that i've got from poker, and also earned some profit for each alphabet set sold by the shop who ordered it from me. What have you done, really? I clearly see that you've helped 2000 players at sportsbetting and bet365 sites to see your gay nicknames? And you're calling someone a clown? Really? That's terrible. Advertising perversions with a nickname, omg.

It's a pity to see that I have a homo supporting fan in my fanclub. I think it's something like some vampire story, vampire bites you, and then you're one of them. Sodom and Gomorrah was a nice story, even tho I don't belive in god, but some things written in the bible are giving a good example.

What I clearly see now is that this conversation has come to an end, there is just one single option left for you, as a customer you can order engraved picture or sign, or your favorite quote. I'll do it with pleasure and will ship it to your location. Ofc for a payment. For example I can engrave one of your nicknames so you can proudly show this sign to your friends and relatives. I can engrave that rainbow flag, but you'll have to color it by yourself. I can engrave your fantasies, no problemo amigo... Oak, walnut, ash, cherry and other types of fine wood available, prices are soft. But don't waste my time anymore with your naive and childish comments, questions and provocations. I believe that you've read my older post with an explanation why poker is a waste of lifetime, yes the one where 24*365*100 = 876K hours is a stack of chips for a 100 year life, and how do people use their stack. Instead of doing some useful things for the society and for themself, majority prefer to wash their life into the toilet of tv series, video games and such. I can't blame anyone for doing that, it's their choice, and I've also spent several years of my life playing poker like a reg, before realising that something is really wrong here. I think I'm right about it, you've wasted big part of your life by doing nothing useful for the society, just playing poker, and when you've realised it after reading my old post, you've started thinking about it and got that perverted idea that i'm responsible for your fails, so that's why you've joined my fan club and want to bite me with some cheap trolling.

Well, that Sherlock in me played his role.

I'll stay on the bright side, there is absolutely no need for me to discuss vampire things with vampires, also no need for me to know how does the circus work, and absolutely no need to go personal vs someone who I don't know personally. Talking about personal things - I see absolutely no interest talking to someone who sounds like fake news with perverted point of view on life, that's a waste of time with no positive emotions for me, so in result this conversation is over. I hope that with my messages I helped people who silently read this thread without making comments. Cheers

I think in poker you can make money but it's very hard to do it online

do you honestly think ANYONE is even going to read one sentence of this? LOL.. Only a clown would think so. (or a complete narcissist )

Regarding OP's original question, I made a few thousand at a time years ago due to good online value games and I lost a thousand or two playing blackjack online but then I would win a thousand or two on slots...then I would withdraw everything and start again. You will win and lose money just don't forget to pay yourself during both the ups and downs.

I started at 0 and reached 2k+

With luck like mine, I'm likely to drop from 1.000 to 0

I have not reached a thousand on any online poker just yet... hopefully soon!

Don't judge others by yourself. Not all members of this forum are living a Beavis&Butthead life, majority is able to read more than brand + price on the stickers, that's a fact.

"Anyone-shmanyone", LOL. In your case, only search engines will be reading your previous 18K posts, cause machines don't care if it's trash or art. With such logic you could write couple of books and sell them for money instead of wasting time on 18K posts for nothing. Same number of buttons clicked with much higher outcome. But we both know why you haven't done it, right? I bet that all of 18K posts can be gathered into a short one: "life well wasted trying to get rid of the tilt using trashy sarcasm".

My stories are short I have won 55 dollars without investing anything...Easy money goes easy. I lost them in few days. The same story was about winning $ 30 in Cardschat freeroll on 888poker.

I've done it so many times I have a hard time keeping track but I e also went from 1000 to 0 several times as well due to bad bankroll management I have a problem with shooting for the stars online something I should control in the future for sure

nope
