Message: [QUOTE="A2345Razz, post: 2656328, member: 90717"] That's nice, and I never said no one can support themselves playing poker. Perhaps you need to reread what was actually posted? Honestly, I could probably support myself playing 1/2 in LA or Fl....but who knows really. That is a completely different matter than thinking that is something many new players should aspire to that or that it is realistic for a new player to think they'll be there online in a yr or 2. The "every day players" need to be depositing, for the most part, in order for the poker ecosystem/economy to maintain its liquidity. New players shouldn't EXPECT to build a roll and skills from freerolls alone. We need to tell people over and over again that depositing is a normal and healthy part of starting out in poker and learning the game. This isn't only bc it helps poker, but bc in fact that is reality and many people are hamstrung by this insane culture of being completely against depositing. Sweet, rock on. Sure, these is no shame in losing a little playing poker if you enjoy it as a hobby. How much do people spend on going to the movies in a yr these days, 300-500 bucks or something if they have a GF/BF loved ones they take? I don't see how depositing that much disposable income a yr to learn/play poker is somehow a badge of shame in the community now...you aren't a fish, you are a beginning poker player and the expectation should be you lose a good bit learning the game. Sure, while anything is possible, it's definitely smart for people to deposit a modest amount of money and play micros to learn the game. Absolutely, you can't take stories about people depositing once in 2004 and running that up to 30k in a yr and extrapolate a thing about 2015 poker. I was there in the boom, and we are talking about 2 different things to be honest. I made 5 digits live in the first 10 months playing live just playing like a total rock with 2-3 moves on the weekends. No, but beginning players depositing 250-500 dollars in their first yr or 18/24 months of play would help maintain the game and create a healthier ecosystem and game overall. No one "thing" keeps the structure healthy without other phenomena, but new players depositing is huge for poker, and I would be shocked if you are actually suggesting it isn't. [/QUOTE]
