It seems you always here people say I deposited $50 a few times grinded it up and never looked back.

While that sounds great I find it hard to beleive that every one that is a reg now started that way.

So my question for the TPE pros is what was your price of admission into poker?

Did any of you start out as a losing player, figure things out and then grind your way up or what?

How far down if you were?

Do you think it was because of just playing bad or bankroll management?

I have found that for me persoanlly BR management has held me back from being succesful up to this point and was wondring if anyone of the pros started out down in this game and then eventually started crushing???

I started out losing, but played REALLY small.  Lots of low stakes SNGs…and 1 tableing so it was tough to lose money very fast  😎

I started out with $100, ran it up to $450 or so, and then lost it.  I was probably breakeven over I think 1500 SnGs before I started to really do well, with swings of a couple hundred here and there.  That was my learning curve, and I really started to do well from that point on.

 

I think those stories of people depositing $100 and never looking back are from years ago, when the games were a lot easier.  It's a lot harder to break through now, I think.
