How Much Did You Lose Before You Made Your First $100 in Poker?

[FuzzyLogic]

None, since I was playing only freerolls and living from no deposit bonuses for the first 3 years of my poker career (I started when I was 14, playing under my parents names lol). And that's what I pretty much recommend for any new/fresh poker player: grind those freerolls and get some basic knowledge of the game.

I won many hundred dollars many times but ended up doing broke cause of bankroll management so my first 100 i earned and didnt end up losing cost me around 3000 dollars.

I really do not know how much it was, I only know that during the first years he only played with what he won in free. in my first steps I won a free in mansion poker and with that gain I registered in a mtt of buy $ 2.20 and buybacks and in which I won $ 1000. which then I was losing in cash and casino tables.

I lost a lot of time in pkr.full tilt and most on pokerstars,but I always win.Have a notebook and there is written 2200 euro+.Most of them are 100$ tranfers made for 4 years gambling-small income but +.

 

[Garfield52]

I am still waiting to win my first $100. Most I have won so far is $5 in a single outing ............ but of course I have only been playing freerolls. Dare say I'll have to keep dreaming and just play on.

I had the same issue firstcrack and you aren't the only one. I've cashed in freerolls, but I've also redeposited a few times too. Still trying to figure it out. could take a week, months, or years, no one exactly knows.

 

[Badbunny]

I deposited 10 dollar and I made 600$
With bounty tournament , sit and go .

Hope dies last, I am with you dear frirollery !!!!

 

[Sorin Iliescu]

i haven't reached my first $100. i started playing a few months ago and after depositing 25$, i'm currently at 74$. i must admit that grinding is very hard, especially if you are a beginner in the matter.the key here, is to take the site bonuses as serious as possible.

 

[ngk80]

I'm still looking for my first 100$. The good news is that I'm didn't make a deposit for poker.

 

[migesan]

I think I lost $ 300, otherwise I only played freeroll tournaments, but quite occasionally when I least hoped to go to the final table, at the tournament $ 3.3 and took $ 437, and a week later $ 400 on SnG $ 8 ,those were the days.

 

[infonazar]

I made a first deposit of $ 20.

I have been playing poker way too long to remember that. I do have a screen shoot of making my first cash for over a grand. Yep it was on FTP from back in the days 2007. I never was able to deposit so mostly I have time involved in the freerolls I cashed in to build up my bankrolls. I would say it took me three years to be able to consistently cash in most of the tournaments I play in. I think having a lot of poker forums, like cards chat, help speed up the process of making a decent bankroll without depositing. If you play the same players you should be getting to know them better and how they play. Then all you have to do is make the right decisions when the time comes, don't let your emotions or pride get in your way. Remenber ,cards don't have any memory`s like you do.

Hello, you never got my money on credit cards, but won several freerolls throughout my 10 years in the poker world, 2016 was my best year, he won $ 4,000, money he earned in the freerolls invested it to KO tournament play and play ZOOM

 

[RobAnaes]

I have cashed a few small live tournaments after about 6 months of playing maybe 2-3/month,so while ive made my first 100 i'm still behind!

 

[Cazador twd]

the truth is that I was very lucky and win just playing freeroll

 

[Chito]

Went down 16k playing high stakes live before eventually beating the game and getting back to over even.

 

[laiomaycon]

I can not say that I won all this, unfortunately I had to lose a lot before playing. I do not advise anyone who started playing now and it's all worthwhile to make the deposit and play with their own money. Haste is the enemy of perfection, my advice is: play many free all

 

[vpashuta]

about 300 bucks before a friend bought me a book called Play Poker Like the Pros by Phil Hellmuth .. my first live session after studying that book was a $100 winner

 

[Wicked_Bent]

I tried Chris Ferguson's $0-10K bankroll challenge at FTP before ever making my first deposit. I really wanted to see how high I could get before eventually losing it all. It took me just under 7 months of grinding to finally reach a $100 balance in my account at $102.95 and I spent $321.10 to get there. At least that's what my account history reflects.

 

[Vlad symrak]

My maximum this year at 21.5 dollars - victory in the Card chat tournament and descent to 0 in 3 days !!! I will advance your luck on and make a deposit! Happy Christmas to everyone !!!!

 

[Igor An]

I gradually invested $ 200, while I won 100%, but then lost again

 

[sanekhorror]

Before I earn the first $ 100, it cost me to invest somewhere as much, at the moment I humble less often, most of all I participate in various freerolls.

You are very right. I have invested already more than 350 dollars. Today I have 0.01. enough is enough.

 

[vavilen_]

good question! I started with a deposit of $ 10 and remember I was lucky I immediately won the tournament and got my $ 100)))
