I have had this discussion with many players over the last few years and it always seems to end with the same outcome. It seems as though all of the online players that made any real money online in the last few years are those that have deposited 1k or more. Building from the bottom is Dead! There def. was a time that lasted from 2003 to 2009 where there are many stories where players started with nothing and built a bankroll. These days seem to be gone!

In the past 4 years there have only been a few stories released where players have done it with nothing more than a few bucks. I have to believe that the bubble has burst! I have scanned many players stats over the last few weeks and it seems to be the same story every time. It appears as though the only ones surviving the swings are those that have deposited $1000 or more. I have been using many tools to keep track of this and it seems to ring true for all online aspects. The grinders far outweigh the fish! Which creates a type of circulating currency with no real long term gains.

I suppose I am looking for regular "joes" that can disprove my beliefs.

We have over 100,000 members at PO. I know this is an overall number but I would like to see if we can get 10 players from here to debunk my belief That is only 0.0001% of our overall membership.

So for any members that have started with nothing and have built and maintained a Bankroll of say...., $1000 or better, please post your poker name in this thread.

Something tells me we won't even get 5
