No, but I had $19 in my party account about a year ago.

the closest i've ever come was when i started. I deposited 100 into party in september, and went down to 20 before I got my $100 bonus. Now i've got 3k and i've cashed out around 15 or 20.

the ones with painted fenders get you more money

find some money somewhere and try smaller stakes. Personally I was a loser even at the smallest stakes for about 2 months but I'm pretty sure anybody can be a winning player after some practice atleast at the lowest levels

No, but my initial deposit of $60 did dwindle down to $1.26. Then I took first in a freeroll for $250 and now my bankroll is $2000 [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

This is completely false. STFU and stop spreading lies. Please learn to not make posts claiming people have done things that they never did.

Yeah like three times. But I hardly consider those first attempts with 50BBs "bankrolls".

Yeah quite a few times. The worst loss was 500BB at 5/10. This game and I have never been best of friends.

I had over 8k at one point last summer, but its more like I spent it than "lost" it. I have a decent full-time job so it wasn't a huge deal. This time I'm rebuilding and trying to maintain an actual bankroll. Last year I got used to the money flowing in and then hit a pretty long break-even streak after I had spent alot of what I had, and it was a bit frustrating. I realize now that when I won a lot of that money I was running really well, and developed unrealistic expectations of how much I was going to win playing poker. I think alot of players go through the same thing.

I lost my bankroll about a year and a half ago. I regard it as another lesson in poker. It really taught me to stay disciplined and not play above my bankroll (there are a few exceptions). Now I'm healthier than ever making $50+/hr.

Many great players have gone bust at one point or another.
