Hello CardsChat players! Good week for all. Just out of curiosity and I'm interested, how much money did you lose before you started making a profit?

Generally it's better to try build bankroll from freerolls. Much more rewarding if you can start that way

I have been playing for 11 years. In fact, for the first two years I spent money on the game, after which the game gradually began to bring me a profit. I probably spent about 200-250 dollars in the first two years, but no more.

I learned by playing freerolls, so I have always been in profit in money terms. But in terms of time I would have done better earning minimum wage.

You do not always need to lose to win, nor should the money or time you play be preferred as lost as long as you play to win, in this case I would see it as an investment.
But to be a winner you must intrude to become among the best, your chances of being a winner are low if you play to pass the time or how you think you should play without updating yourself in the evolution of the game.

Investigate, study, update, practice and put into practice everything you have learned and your chances of being a winner will increase.

none, if you have patience and have little knowledge about the game of poker, you can build a pretty nice bankroll only from freerols :)

This is worse than you mocking everyone..

It's where they learn all their fishy habits of calling a 3-bet with any two cards.

Not going to encourage someone to deposit money to gamble. That's crazy.

Play at the freerolls to build a bankroll. You play in enough of them anyway

I lost a little bit of money before I started making money, because I started making money with freerolls. So I built my bankroll and was able to participate in tournaments that paid good prizes.

If it were easy everyone would be doing it. You just have to learn to feel broke when your rich, know not make any reckless decisions, and treat every last cent in your bankroll like your life depends on it. Stay with in your limit... if you got 50 dollars don't play with more the 50 cents at a time... and like I said treat it like your life depends on it... that 50 cents is the last 50 cents you have.... that 50 dollars doesn't exists anymore it gone.

Very little, about $300 adding up the 5 times I broke my bankroll before deciding to study.

I think if you don't want to lose a lot of money like me, you should play free tournament games and get paid from them after playing with that money and that's it:)
