Message: [QUOTE="syntheticocean, post: 826220, member: 38717"] I wouldn't deposit it all. I think the fact that most of us started out by depositing the bare minimum, and worked our way up from there is what helped us succeed in the game. If you can't make 50$ work, then you can't make 4000$ work. If you have 4000$ its just going to tempt you to play the higher stakes hoping to profit faster. It won't work that way always. About 2 years ago I deposited 50$, I played 1 table with that 50$. I don't remember exactly what happened, but when I had enough to move up, I did, with my entire bankroll. Eventually I have 2650$, I withdrew 2500 and it was the down payment on my car. Leaving me with 150, I knew nothign of bankroll managment and I woke up one morning, went into a game with all 150$ and needless to say I went broke. The 2500$ I withdrew was sheer luck. I highly advise against doing that. Follow strict bankroll managment and you'll do much better. I deposited 50$ a few months ago, and following strict managment I am up several thousand dollars. I could easily afford to sit in a game with 5000$, but I don't. I am still playing cash games of 1/2$ blinds. When I am tired, but bored, I jump in a 1$ tourney or play some .05/.1 cash game so if I make any stupid plays, I am losing 2-3$ rather than 30-40. I hope this advice helps. I'm not telling you to spend the 4000$ elsewhere, believe me, I want my shot at it ; ) Just don't deposit it all at once. Try 100$ for now, sit in on some micro-stakes and set a goal with that 100$. Say... 500$. If you can hit that, you're ready to move up. but that 4000$ shouldn't be needed if you are a good player. Even with a horrible month or 2 you shouldn't need to deposit more than 500$. If you hit that point where you've deposited 500$ and you continue to lose, go back to the cash games that you are good at. Online might not be for you. [/QUOTE]
