So,let's start
I play online poker for about 1 year,first i deposited on PokerStars $20,with no results,in less than a week lost everything.
Then I hear about bankrollmob and received some no deposit bonuses:
First was on Titan Poker $10 free in 2 days I lost everything and i couldn't reach vip points for next release.
Second I received $10 on PartyPoker,again in about few days i lost everything without reaching the party points for next release.
Third I received $10 on GalaCasino in the same day i lost everything.
Forth I received $10 On PokerAce,from these $10 I managed to reach almost $50,then in order to make an withdraw 100 vip points needed,I reach 100 point but final bankroll was $0.40.
Fifth and the last I play a freeroll on EverestPoker,and i won $20,in less than a week i lost them all.
So what should I do...
Jump from the window..No I can't because I stay on the first floor,and nothing will happen

well If you lost that money that fast, it probably means that you are not that good player yet. Or you didnt care about bankroll management at all and you lost that bonuses in 1-2 hands
If you care about it, and you want to change your results in future then dont give up. Learn about p0ker. There are tons of articles, videos, studies on internet how to be a better player. From basics to very advanced things..

Obviously you are doing something wrong here. Besides the fact that you have lost all the bankrolls so far, it worth mentioning how you lost 10$ in a single day. Since 10$ is all you got you need to start low (micro) and use some proper BRM. You need more self control i think.

Hello AlexandrosLM,
Don't worry about that. Last year I lost more than $400 for 3 days. All we are learning from our mistakes. But I realise that you have to read and study a little bit. I have a very interesting offer for you! You don't need to deposit. The only thing you have to do is to study a little bit. And after that if you pass the test you will receive $50 for free. Please register here, and start reading:

It is in Romanian language. I passed the test last year and they gave me $50. You choose a poker site and they will put the money into your account. Just read the forum there, the lessons, and when you feel prepared, start the test.
Start your poker career. Good luck with the poker.
Best Regards from Bulgaria. Bye the way I was in Bucuresti, Brashov, Senaia. Very beautiful I saw the Dracula castle also.

G'day mate
Dude that was really cool of you to tell him about such a great offer. The idea that a person can get rewarded for actually studying poker and proving their knowledge by passing a test. It would be nice if everyone took advantage of this type of learning program. Be cool mate and best of luck at the tables.

Yes, thanks. I know the idea is cool. Bulgaria and Romania are neighbour countries, so we are like brother contries. That is why I told him.
But I am little bit worried, because I made an adverstisement of this site, and I hope the BRM admin, not to punish me. Sorry, to say that, but this is the biggest and the only site where you can learn poker, and to earn money without depositing.
Failing that, because by now you're hopelesly addicted,...do what the boys say,....read up on poker strategies,...then practice by beating the pants off your little brothers and sisters! That'll give you some confidence,...then return to play for real money again...
Check your patience too,...maybe you may need to be more patient...

None easy in the world, even jump from window, lol . what we can do just learn and train. If fail ( in how many years ? every champion need years to be succeed !!! ) forget it. Not everyone have talent to be winning poker player.
one year too short ( for me ) to be winning poker player

You are very, very lucky this time! It's very obvious that you on purpose tried to work around our automatic "censorship"-filter with that link. Don't do that again!

You really need to start working on your bankroll management. I mean sure, you can't really use proper bankroll management on that small of a roll.
But do what I did in the begining of the year. Start grinding freerolls (I recommend PartyPoker) and get yourself a roll of about $5. DO NOT BLOW IT ALL AS SOON AS YOU CAN SIT DOWN AT A TABLE!!!! Be patient and don't touch that money that you've earned. Wile waiting to hit that $5 mark, read a lot about bankroll management and some strategies.
When you reach those $5, and you will eventually do so, sit down at the 0.50 Double or Nothing tables. Play one table at a time and be really tight! You may not see that much of a profit in the begining but it really is a long term game. Keep grinding those until you reach $30 and then move up to the $1 games. If you fall under $30, then drop down one level.
It'll take a lot of time and effort BUT you won't blow your entire roll as fast just by playing stupid and you will not feel as much variance and you can enjoy more poker and learn the game a lot better in that time.
I started out the year to build a roll from $0 (as I've done a lot of times and turned a good profit) but this time I wasn't going to withdraw at all this year. I got my roll up to over $50 and then my great grandmother (moms moms mom) passed away and we were really close so I raged one day and blew it all away and then took a short break from poker. I started ones again yesterday with one freeroll and won 8 cents. Only $4.92 to go xD

I guess you must be playing higher amounts than you should. According to what you write, you are able to win some games, but you lose more than you win and you bankroll immediately suffers with that. Two days? Too fast. I guess you’re not playing micro and you should. It’s my advice!
There are so many aspects to this game that playing blind is akin to bankroll suicide. Study lots, practice some, study lots. You hold in your hands a virtual encyclopedia where one can learn and practice anything. Above all don't rush, take your time...the game will be here tomorrow.
BTW if you dive instead of jumping, you may achieve the desire result
or you can just get another NDB
