depends on what stakes you start playing at.

• $10 mtts? very unlikely to be enough.
• $1 mtts? potentially enough, but good chance it's not.
• .25 mtts? more than enough to get started.

I started with freerolls, and spun a little and now I'm just playing microlimits, I think that's enough)

The obvious answer is 0, if you have the dedication and will not to give up due to variance. There are multiple freerolls across sites each day with plenty of people a beginner can beat. From there, you'll want the lowest variance games where you can get the highest edge, usually NL2 cash games, to boost your roll. Start adding higher variance games as you acquire a higher bankroll.

Never forget proper bankroll management. My very conservative guideline concerning both cash games and tournaments for myself is:

- 30 buy-ins for heads-up play
- 50 buy-ins for 6-max play
- 70 buy-ins for 9-max play
- 100 buy-ins for MTTs

You can read more about proper bankroll management here on Cardschat: https://www.cardschat.com/poker-bankroll-management.php - mind you, they are less conservative than my outline above.

I don't know if there is a correct answer here. The real question is if you are a totally newcomer to the game or not.

If someone doesn't have a clue for example about open raise ranges from each position-stack depth or pot odds he will lose even a $10,000 deposit game after game.

If someone understands at least some basic strategy I am 100% sure that he will be able to find his way even with not an initial deposit through dedication and volume.(I think you got my point here )

I think a wise move is to take your pass to the Freeroll Club of the forum.

The poker pros very in their opinion but they say ususally at least 100 buy ins should be your bankroll. So if you want to play in $1 tourney you need at least $100 bankroll.

Hi.
I think you just need to play in freerolls and thus build your bankroll from scratch. Thanks to freerolls, each player can improve their skills and increase bankroll without losses.
Good luck.

It depends on the player's skill and the stakes they're playing in.


Make no mistake, a beginner will leak money because of a lack of skill, so it will definitely cost him money. I would guess a beginner to have a ROI of approximately -25%, so for each game they play it costs them 25% of the buy-in. For cash games the ROI can look a lot worse, I believe.

For instance, if said beginner plays $20 in tournaments a day, it would cost him $5 a day to play poker.

For lot of players with mediocre skills, it might less, but still cost something.

For a player at the top 60-70% of the player pool, it might costs him nothing as he is break-even -- he is essentially just "working" for the poker site, generating rake for them. Poker sites love these types of players.

The good thing is that to learn to play poker well it doesn't have to cost a player any money, as they could start learning with play money, freerolls, and slowly move into the real money micro stakes.

Well it takes money to play poker on low stake games or it takes alot of time to play with no depositing of any money.

If you play SNG $ 0.25 it would be nice to have at least $ 25. If you are going to play SNG $ 1.00 it would be good to have at least $ 100 and if you are going to play MTTs of varying amounts always keep in mind to have at least 100 buy-ins in amounts for what you are going to play.

It would be better to throw $100.

I think free is a great starter :O) when the venom had the free step tournaments last year I won almost 400.00. Shoot, with time and dedication you can make nothing into something anytime :O) Good luck out there and keep grinding

Thanks thanks. Love is all there.

You don't necessarily need money, with studying and practicing enough, you can play starting with participating in freeroll, so get started. The most I achieved in those tournaments was $ 50.
I am not an amateur player, I only play when I have time.
Someday I intend to participate in tournaments with higher buy-in., And make good profits.

As stated above many times, freerolls are the best place to start. With persistence and proper skills you can run $0 to a healthy bankroll to start grinding micros. Just be sure to do your homework and play accordingly. No shame in folding.

It depends on your pocket but in reality, there are pages like this that you have to be grateful, learn a lot and risk little or nothing. then it remains is to study

30$ good start.
Spot the time for how long you lose them

Thank you very much for your answer! How long has it taken you to bank properly to play major tournaments? Sometimes the freerolls get a little aggressive with the players having no investment, and it is very difficult to win prizes. With dedication and learning I guess I'll improve!

Thanks for the advice! Everyone agrees on that. I suppose that playing a buy-in that does not affect your banking helps to play calmer and better.

Thank you! What kind of strategies are you referring to? I'm a little newbie and every day something is learned.

Thanks for the reply. Now I know that freerolls are the answer for me.

Yes, plenty to start. Good luck!

you're right ......play small and enjoy.....very few can make money consistently !!!!!

$ 30 is a good amount to start in micro limits, you can also play freerolls and by having more banks to level up.

if you beat low limits you can get higher limit and you will reach good bankroll you can to be more professional to attend come courses purchase some kind of software and maybe your going to stream your poker to the twitch purchase some kind of hardware for it)

I started with $ 10, I have been playing for 3 months and I have profited about $ 300. nl5 game for a few weeks, before I played nl2

Play freerolls. In general, you can start with $ 30, it costs so much and you can play 30 tournaments with $ 1 entry in sit-n-go

I think you should have a look at those things:
1.preflop ranges
2.pot odds
3.when and why to cbet flop etc based on the board texture / position awareness

The above are a good start IMHO and you will see a tremendous difference when you fully understand the above concepts

I don't think that a deposit is necessary, there are many freeroll to set up the bank, but if you don't have patience and decide to deposit with 20 usd and the stars welcome bonus is enough to play a good time

I have a limit - max 5$ per day lost.Big momey tournsments will have a strong negative effect on my finantial balance.

Actually the minimal deposit of room is enough, you can play freerolls, you can play very low stake sit and go's and start from there so I will say a minimum deposit will do enough to slowly build bankroll from penny stakes and they are pretty soft too.

Hmm i think it is not enough.
I think you need a lot of money and a lot of patient,so 30$ is not enough.

I did definitely get lucky with mine. Took me about a month on PokerStars with various freerolls, mixing in the $0.02 sit-n-gos (which are high variance in terms of buy-ins, but since a buy-in is very low, they are not as high variance in $). Then, I started heads-up sit-n-gos for some more low variance goodness.

As an average, I'd definitely expect a higher number because, as I said, I was very lucky in a number of freerolls.

I think that you can start playing some freerolls and then if you earn some money you can play micro limits

Sorry for my english

I think you need to start with freerolls. Gain experience. And then when the skills accumulate, you can proceed to deposit. 5 dollars to start fine i think

Surely your first bankroll depends on your solvency. It can be from $ 10 to 1,000. Who can’t afford to spend his money on poker then he has the opportunity to collect his bankroll on freerolls.

I think starting at freerolls is a wonderful place to begin to play and learn in a risk free environment. The game isn't always played like that as you move up in stakes but it does offer you a starting point to get a feel for what's going on. If you deposit without knowing much you can see that go away and quickly!

For me is a good stater bankroll to play in MMT $0,50.

If you are interested in poker and want to try it, you don't have to make huge deposits. First, you should get used to it: learn the basics of the game, participate in games for free chips or freerolls. In the future, having gained experience, you will be able to start playing at micro-limits and with proper abilities, self-confidence and composure, you will be able to spin your bankroll with fairly minimal amounts

Well that's complicated..
See, I never made a deposit. But Ive been ITM twice in freeroll... Earning a bit more than $1.. after that I started playing micro (0,02).. but it's reeeeeealy hard cuz it's Hyper-turbo.. and my game doesn't really match with the push/fold system from the very beginning of the tournament.
So maybe starting with a deposit that allows you to play micro limit's (0,25 / 0,50) turbo or regular - for me a good bankroll management to play these would be something between $50/$60
