Yes, it is possible to turn this into a real bankroll. It takes a lot of effort, but it can be done. This would be much more impressive than most though.

If you want to build from nothing, you may want to try the free 10 dollars on Royal Vegas, or Instant Bankroll as has been mentioned. (Although I might wait on that until you have played a bit more.)

Someone please define a REAL bankroll, because it just plain isnt possible.. CERTAINLY isnt worth the time that it would take to even make it a 1 in a million shot..

Youd be better off collecting pop or peddling on the street BY A LONG LONG SHOT.

If your time isnt worth more than a few cents an hour than I would just put a bullet in your head now.

Your computer probably using more electricity per hour than you are making..

I cant believe you guys are supporting this.. How stupid are you?

No wonder that even with the membership of this place tripling, My bb/100 keeps going up.

Unreal how flawed your arguments and logic are.

There is NOBODY, and I REPEAT NOBODY that makes a living that started playing with a few cents and is now making a living.............

NOT WITHOUT some influx of cash from an external source, granted there are people that started at nanos that are making a living now at it...

But they didnt build the BR that they support life with from it.

Did you even consider the fact that not everyone plays poker purely for money? Why do you think the THOUSANDS of playmoney players are there? They play to have fun, you imbecile. I can guarantee you that when I first started out, I had no idea that my Neteller account would end up holding more than my bank account, and no my bank account isn't looking *that* bad.

Believe it or not, there are things you can learn from nano-limit play. Not everyone can just deposit $700 and hop into 1/2. If someone were to simply give me my entire bankroll and told me to play some 1/2, it'd be gone in a matter of days. I spent a ton of time playing $2 NL. Yes, it sucks that I made virtually no profit financially, but you can think of it like implied odds; it pays off later.

Please tell me the difference between a good player depositing $500 to start his roll, and a player that began with playmoney turning his dollar into $500. They both have equal potential to make "a living" from poker, assuming they are equal in skill. Your argument that a player cannot make a living out of what started as nothing is flawed. Yes, it will take much longer than simply depositing money, but once both players have $1000 in their account, what's the difference? Our freeroll player will have gained a lot of experience over tens of thousands of hands, of course much of which is useless as he takes a large step in limits, his $2 NL thoughts will have no bearing on $50 NL. There are some fundamentals he would have learned along the way though, Hold'Em cannot simply be learned through reading, it takes practice and experience.

Keep in mind, just because you have a lot of money in your account and consider these nano-limits as a "waste of time" and that if someone has nothing better to do than to play nano that they should "put a gun to their head", this does not mean that players cannot make something from nothing, that their time is wasted, or most importantly, that they cannot have fun.

The OP is obviously fairly young, and does not intend to support his lifestyle with poker. He's looking for a way to turn his meager bankroll into something more useful and realistic. This is something that most of the posters have attempted to HELP him to. Yourself, you've just wasted everyone's time, posting your absolute bullshit. You obviously have zero experience at building a bankroll from nothing, and I firmly believe that you can't do it, since you obviously lack the patience and dedication. Have you ever experienced a downswing? What about if this downswing wipes out your entire bankroll because you're severely under-funded? I'm not saying that it's correct to play out of your roll, but if you can successfully win and win and dodge that risk of ruin, then that's something to be proud of.

Just to let you know, I do not make enough money from poker to support myself. I have a job, I'm a student, and I play a lot of poker. It is a hobby for me, I love playing, but I love seeing my money going up as well. Just because someone wishes to increase their money, it doesn't mean that person necessarily needs to support himself with it. This is what you assumed.

Good luck.
