Re: How much was your first deposit for?
I don't play professionally (thanks to a dissertation fellowship) -- I missed that part of the initial post, and did not mean to suggest that I did.

Re: How much was your first deposit for?
I don't play professionally but I'll answer anyway...I do play seriously just about every night.
$50 on Paradise in 2001. Lost it playing .50/1 $15 on Planet Poker. Lost it at the .05/.10 Deposited another 15 which I lost. Then deposited $75 and that was it. Been a pretty steady climb in bankroll since then. |

Re: How much was your first deposit for?
I'm no pro, but...
Lost multiple $50 and $100 deposits on PP over the course of 3-4 months(about 3-4 I'd say) Made a big tilty deposit of $1000 to play big games where "people would respect my raises and not suck out)... lost it, whodda thunk it! Deposited and lost $100 on Paradise (-$1500 at this point in my sad poker career, I kept accurate to the penny records) Got ToP, got SSHE, began using Poker Tracker, began posting/reading on the 2+2 boards Deposited $50 into PP and have turned that into about $3620 (about 1250 of that is probably bonus). I have withdrawn $1550 (to replace the total sum I have deposited in my online poker life) thus my entire bankroll is now just the "white meat" (winnings/bonus). I plan on making no more withdrawals and just seeing how big I can grow that roll. |

Re: How much was your first deposit for?
phillydilly,
I'm right there with you man. First deposit was $50 on UB. Lost that and a lot more for several years until I finally found 2+2 and read some books. Ha! Turns out there was strategy to this game! |

Re: How much was your first deposit for?
First deposit was $500 on Stars (during a dep bonus) and started playing the short-handed $2/4 game. I, too, thought since that that's what I'd played in the casino (all of three times) that I should start there.
Bad idea. Then I realized I sucked at hold'em and started learning O8 then Stud/8 and have rarely gone back to HE. |

Re: How much was your first deposit for?
I'm curious as to how the distribution of people who lost several deposits before figuring it out and those who didn't correlates to experience live and in home games.
When I started playing holdem, I knew inside and out that I had no real idea what I was doing in that specific game, though I had a lot of general gaming experience. I think that contributed quite a lot to my success. |
