Posted by BhStaljin: Hey people
Some of you know maybe of a person that became rich from 50 or 100 dollars from playing poker on a regular basis ONLINE ?
what are the odds of someone to do that ? One in a Billion ? Possible ? Illusion ? Dream ?
Define 'rich'
Some people have used these no deposit bonuses and turned it into a few thousand. Might take a while to get started but its doable as long as you are willing to spend the time, patience for that.

Posted by doomdy: I made only 1 deposit $75 on FullTilt. Did pass the $20K checkpoint half year ago, so rich not really, just a nice profitable hobby.
That sounds really great, but is it proofable. Can we check that?

You can if you want. And of course you need play a lot, study a lot and analyse your hands after you play, to find mestakes you make and try dont make the same mestakes again. You can grow from 0 if you want, just play freerols and be in payed positions. How more experience ans skils you will have, then more easy yiu will make money, playing poker. And other advice try to find the game you prefer. Some like play Fixed Limit, orher NL rings, but I more prefer SNG and MTT. Good luck.

Hi!!
I don´t know if is possible getting rich.. but is possible win a good money. Many players begin with 50$+bonus and have bankrolls of more than 10k$ (and much more, but i chose that number). Of course, you need study, play thousands and thousands of hands and, when you are at some levels, coaching.

If I remember correctly, Annette Obrestad has told that she started to build her bankroll by playing freeroll tournaments since her mother didn't lend her a creditcard to make an initial deposit.

It is very simple to do all you need is to wait to get paid off in the early stages of your bankroll then as your bankroll progress's you can "gamble" so to say alittle more ... ive made many free bankrolls into thousands of dollars ... start at $25.... buyin to 2 1/2 cent 3/6cent tables with the table min other players dont respect this alot of the time and will pay your all in of 8/10 times instantly leave that table after your win ..
Aim to make $5 per hour making sure asoon as you get the 5 you quit until the next hour .. play for 10 hours on the 1st days which gives you $50 per day do this for 4 days $200 then play nl10 and watch your bankroll grow
at nl10 aim to make 10$ per hour with the same quitting rule applied do this for 10 hours again .. $100 per day ... with all the breaks you actually get your playing maybe 6/7 hours per day and it is very worth it i have screen shots of some of my success's any info needed just ask ...
I was very lucky with my results this will not happen for everyone out there .. the key to doing this is obviously starting hand selection ... dont think ohh i will mix it up with 8 10 ( i will hit a straight)
On another note when you fold 3 5 suited and see 2 4 6 come out dont say ohhh why did i fold LOL !!

It is possible because nothing is impossible...
but it is a very complicated task and it takes lots of patience,
believe me I've got to win up to $ 300 but then I had the misfortune of losing everything,
and so a few times, so getting rich with that $ 50 you have to be very patient,
and very good at poker, but besides that, what is more important than luck.
Lol, i went up from 25 to 100 in few hours ... and then started new table with 10$ everytime, lost it all also ! Without doing stupid things (my opinion)

Check out BOKU87 on PS he is a legend in the rise to good bankroll from nothing stakes. His 1st challenge was to make 10k from $100 in 2 weeks without going above the $16 sng level and he did it his new challenge is to start with $5 and make it into $100,000 in 12 months he is up to 50k already and he is barely half way there something like 5 months. He has awsome mt sng skills and brilliant bankroll skills however he is a machine coz he plays between 40 and 50 sngs at once and can get through something like 400 to 500 sngs in 1 8hr session Boku87 is my hero and im copying what he does and i aint even got past $100 mark in 2 weeks lol

It is possible for everyone I think. Some people get rich from $50 but they are only lucky. They will lose it eventualy most of the times. But some people just totaly know how to play poker and can make cash even out of $10. (I remember that guy making $10k from $10 or something playing multi-tourneys?)
I once made $5000 out of $50 with playing poker and BlackJack, but I think that was more luck, because I lost it later. I think I can do it again tho, but not going to take the risk.
