I deposited $100 on GG.
I hope I can make up for all the losses in a week!
I don't invest more than $10. Poker is a game that should bring you pleasure and money, and if you have to invest more than $10 a year in the game, you must be doing something wrong.

I don't think you should compare yourself to other people with something like the amount you deposit on a poker site.

Generally it's best to look at it as a business decision mixed with a personal finance decision so no two people are ever going to be in the same place for comparison.

Once you're profitable at a limit your main concern should be keeping your bankroll safe so you can realize your edge and playing as much volume as you can.

If you're beating $10 games you should keep enough on the site to be able to play your games without having to deposit every day. You would probably want to keep enough on a site that you would have to run reasonably bad for a while before you had to deposit.

If you're losing at $1 games it doesn't matter how much money you put on a site, you'll eventually lose if if you play enough volume.

Bankroll questions become easier when you have a positive ROI, you just need to make sure you have enough buy ins to keep playing in the games you beat. If you're a losing player, no deposit amount will save you from your fate.

Nothing, I mostly try to build up from scratch. Cardschat freerolls are a good starting point.

If you have never made a deposit, it is not possible to withdraw money

I like to pay the minimum because it's nice to get a lot out of a small amount !!

GGpoker minimum is $2
pokerstars minimum is $5
888 poker minimum is $10
These three poker sites are the best - I have tested them with 20 years of poker experience

A small amount of money is quite enough for me to get into one of the big tournaments, for example $109!

I made a deposit only when I had a good amount of money to withdraw. You're right, thanks for remembering.

I deposit the minimum in PS - 5$, to prevent me from 2nd and 3th entering in one and the same tournament.

At best, I deposit 10 dollars when I already need to withdraw money. I think everyone deposits depending on their financial capabilities and interests in the game.

It used to be 10$ or 20$ , cause I was playing very low stakes . Rarely more like 50$ usually in casino not in poker . Nowadays I rarely deposit . That's why I am in the black list of acr and pokerstars ))))))

I think that before making deposits, you need to learn how to play at least a little. And such depositors are just waiting at the tables.:)

I don't deposit unless I want to withdraw money, which requires a small deposit amount. I earn from freerolls and then use the winnings for paid tournaments.

stop lying that you can survive only from free tournaments because no one can do that if they play for at least more than a year
because there is always a temptation to play a big tournament and sometimes the only way to do it is to make a deposit
Of course, if you don't take poker seriously, maybe only freerolls are enough for you

because those who play freerolls sometimes can't afford to make a deposit because they simply don't have money and to justify themselves they make up all kinds of lies

personally, I play as much as I can and deposit as much as I can -I'm just trying to get the most out of the poker link with both freerolls and deposits
How do you know that I don’t have money to deposit? Just because I prefer to play smart and build my bankroll from freerolls doesn’t mean I can’t afford to deposit. For your information, I’ve been working as a Program Manager in an MNC for the past 16 years. I can live perfectly fine without poker. I simply enjoy the challenge of playing from freerolls and using that money to enter bigger tournaments.

Not everyone follows the same approach in poker. Some deposit, some grind from nothing, it’s all about personal choice. And just because someone plays freerolls doesn’t mean they are broke. Speak with respect to others before making assumptions. Are you Elon Musk, Bill Gates, or Ambani that you think others can’t even deposit? Let people play the way they want instead of judging them.

The minimum needed to maybe get a bonus and become a "money " player. I believe in the 15 years or so of playing online, I have deposited maybe 100$ total, and withdrawn much more.
