How long did it take you to be a break even player?

Hi everyone. I've been playing poker for about a month. I've placed in 24 tournaments(mixture of mtt, stg). I've been playing whenever I get free time. Overall I'm down around $20 from tilting on cash games so I've been trying to work on my discipline.

I have a couple questions for the more experienced players.

1.) How long did it take you before you could play without depositing more money(playing at a break-even skill level)?

2.)Around how much money were you down at this point?

3.)What stakes did you play? STG, MTT, or Cash?

Double post please remove

I basically can't be a losing player.Do not Deposit until sweat until I need to withdraw some money from the site.Play freerolls and gradually build up a bankroll from scratch.Your money does not make...
