i agree that the money managment is most important skill of poker player (begginer poker players like me) ..
i started playing poker with freerolls... then transfered to micro stakes (where i'm still, but sometimes i play some bigger buyin events or "high micro" cash games)
in my poker career i deposited only 20$ then another 30$ (on
titan poker) to verify my moneybookers account so i can withdraw via them .. i cashed out about 2000 euros from
titan till now, and every time i withdraw i left about 250-300 euros on my bankroll because i don't like to play with pressure.. i invested into vol1 and 2 of harringthon's guide to nl tournaments (80 euros - transports and taxes are high here) but before couple of days i won hallowen 1000$ tourney on
titan with 1000ppl so i look to that as great investment
there were losses .. (like today i'm in 20$ loss till the time i'm writing this) but when i look how much i invested i think i will play for their and other's people money in the long future
(until i transfer to higher stakes)
