I started with $100, $50 on PokerStars, and $50 on party poker, did well, had it up to about $150-$175 in a few months, then hit a really bad patch for about a month straight, and lost it all. Trying to play freeroll now, and get tournament tickets from poker school online, and getting a bankroll that way. I would rather play home games, so my money I put aside for poker goes to my cash bankroll instead of online.
