You'll never be like Isildur or Durrr making millions of $ starting from 10$ deposit bonus in 2007. When they started playing it was possible because there was a massive amount of horrible players and it was only required to play decent, tight aggressive poker to make a lot of money. These days you can spend countless hours studying game theory optimal play just to break even on mid-stakes online because rake will eat up your small, grinded-out winnings. Edges you can have on players has become increasingly smaller meanwhile rake has increased and bots have infested online poker.
Dwan began playing online poker with a $50 bankroll. He initially focused on sit-and-go tournaments, later switching to multiplayer cash games then to heads-up cash games.

According to HighStakesDB.com, a site that tracks high-stakes online poker, Dwan earned $312,800 in 2007 on Full Tilt Poker and $5.41 million in 2008
After turning 15, Viktor and his brother decided to deposit some money onto an online poker site. The first game they entered was an MTT in which they finished in fifth place for $300, which was huge for them at the time. After a few weeks, Viktor's brother decided to set up his own account elsewhere and let Viktor play by himself.

After a few weeks of play, Blom90 was regularly playing at $530 sit n gos. After a few more months of play, the 15-year-old Viktor Blom had made over $275,000 total at various sites. He then collected all the money onto one site and took on the higher buy-in cash games and sit n gos. This resulted in him losing all the money. He then built up a bankroll and deposited $3,000 onto the same site. He played high buy-in sit n gos and started to win more and more money.

After taking a small break from poker, Viktor came back strong. He deposited 10,000 SEK and decided to stick to heads-up no-limit Hold'em. After just two weeks of play, he went from playing 1/2 SEK to 50/100 SEK. After Viktor turned 17, he deposited $2,500 on PartyPoker. He discussed his plans with a friend and off he went. Two days later, the friend asked him how much he had on PartyPoker, expecting him to say he had busted out or had at most $30,000. He was wrong. Blom had actually won over $200,000 in just two days of play. After another hot streak on iPoker, he won over $1.7 million in two weeks.




This is how Rich Piana made his money back in the day :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: shit is insane how easy it was:




It's so over if you were born too late. Now you should be happy if your investments are beating inflation after tax gl :) :lul:
