I think it is a % thing, because if you deposit 10K and win 9K, then it is not a win, adding up, for example, the total winnings and losses for the month
but if you put 1,000 on a poker site and win 9,000, then it is a win

So what amount do you suggest to deposit for optimal performance?

Personally, if you actually want a discussion, you should deposit a small amount as you often get sone kind of bonus or whatever, then you should learn enough to win money! Simple. 😀

My recommendation is that your deposit should not exceed 10% of your total income.
I know people who do 90%

Those who have 1 million in their bank account can afford to spend 100,000 on poker, it's that simple.
but my question is

Is the size of winnings on poker sites will depend on the deposit?

I know people who complain that there are no freerolls because they don't want to risk anything.

I feel it all comes down to risk management and how comfortable you are with the amount you're putting in.

It’s true that starting with a small deposit makes sense—you can learn the game without risking too much, and sometimes you even get some bonus offers along the way. But honestly, it’s not about how much you deposit, it’s about what return you’re getting from it.

If you deposit $10K and win $9K, that’s still a loss. But if you deposit ₹$1K and win $9K, that’s a real win with a great return on investment. It’s not about how much you can spend—it’s about playing smart with what you do spend.

In my opinion, limiting your deposit to 5-10% of your disposable income is a good strategy. That way, you’re always playing within your means and not risking money you can’t afford to lose.

My answer is no of course not!

Your poker winnings are mostly dependent on your ability!

I've heard that those who make deposits are sometimes given better cards.
How much is there lies and truth?

So if you deposit 1 million dollars you must get the best super-hyper-duper cards ever:cool::rolleyes::unsure:
thats why I am asking How much is there lies and truth?
Personally, I haven't made a deposit at 888 Poker for 5 years, but I withdraw money every month.
In pokerstars I make a deposit every month but I don't see any normal money yet
I use my best playing style and skills playing both 888 and pokerstars.

There are days when I'm a big fish but that's a different story.

Probably no correlation whatsoever between deposits and how lucky you get. But you can never be 100% certain of anything.
It would be interesting to hear from players who have been doing this for 10 years or more.

It's quite a strange mathematics.
I consider it a great result if I make +10% to my bankroll in a week. Your calculations seem pretty fantastic to me :)

this was just an example, the main question is different
we will talk about mathematics another day

my example is only funny because it draws attention to the main point

Is the size of winnings on poker sites will depend on the deposit?

If the player considers himself lucky, the answer is yes.

I wouldn't rule out such a possibility.
If you are a good depositor but a loosing player they do throw you a bone from time to time to keep you happy (but still loosing). So there is no sweet spot for depositing.
But it's hard to believe in sites that deal you the "same" hand three times in a row.
I guess anything goes :unsure:

Perhaps such a correlation exists, but perhaps not. It is difficult to prove or disprove this without accurate statistical data, which no one is going to publish in the public domain.

To be in the black, you need to play only freerolls, you will be stripped for money, the river will chop you like an axe.

I believe that there is a connection between bankroll and the ability to win money. I have seen this in my own experience. If I play a tournament worth one fifth of my bankroll or less, then the probability of getting into the ITM is quite high and depends on my skill and patience. If I somehow get into a tournament worth half of my bankroll or more, one way or another I will not be allowed to get into the prize money - the size of my bankroll simply does not allow my hands to be winning and my stack to grow to the prize zone.

I don't think your winnings can depend on the size of your deposits. I think that your winnings can depend on your luck, but whether your luck can depend on how much money you spend on the game ... that's a question. I think those who play more, at higher stakes have a better chance of winning more.

it should be as you say
but how many cardchat members have said that online poker winnings can be affected just like slot machines in a bar where you can set the win % return

J’ai entendu dire que ceux qui font des dépôts reçoivent parfois de meilleures cartes.
Combien y a-t-il de mensonges et de vérité ?
The idea that players who deposit money get better cards is a common myth.

I have a lot of friends who often play slots. So, among my friends, there was a widespread belief that the more you invested in slots, the more these slots should give you a win. It's a pretty primitive idea, but most people believed it. As for poker, I think the size of the deposit and the size of the winnings are in no way related to each other.
