started with low amount and,....?


Recommended Posts

I'm just curious what the lowest amount is someone on here has started with or been down to and then built up a big roll?  I was down to 3 bucks and got it to 200.  Obviously on here that is very small potatoes compared to everyone else but I am not a big player, more for the fun.
started with 700,now at 300k

My current bankroll started with $17 won in a freeroll...after an enormously ugly run of of over 20,000 hands (I didn't think it was possible), I stand at $1600. This wouldn't constitute a fraction of a big roll though. Ask me this again in a couple years.

Deposited $50 2 years ago and played $0.50/$1 (and later $1/$2) to work it up to $500. Then, I got bored of limit so I cashed out and quit playing online for half a year...Came back with the $50 I'd left in my account and started playing a variety of things throughout the last half of 2004: limit, NL, S&Gs and MTTs. I found I enjoyed the tournaments much more than the cash games so I started concentrating more and more on those, as I play much better when I'm having fun. Took in about $4500 in that 6-month stretch.Since the start of 2005 I've been playing MTTs almost exclusively and have already pulled in over $10,000 playing an average of one night every 2 weeks.Thus, my story is $50 -> $15,000 :club:

You've pulled in over 10k in 2005 from playing 1 mtt every 2 weeks? That's an average of 12 tournaments, what events are you playing?

Ah, that's not quite what I said. I said I played one night every 2 weeks (on average). In one night, I 4-table MTTs for 4-8 hours, depending upon how well I do.I play on EmpirePoker and play the big hourly tournaments (usually around 200-250 people) with buy ins anywhere from $10 to $100. I usually have 2-3 of those going at once. I then fill up the extra splot or two with the 20 or 30 player tournaments for $10 to $30.I've kept track of every penny I've spent, broken down by tournament type. Here are my stats for tournaments with more than the quick-start 30 players:Number Played: 65Average Profit: $155ROI: 350%Cashes: 28%Wins: 6%
