Hasn't happened yet. Deposited 25$ on PS, ran it up to about $80 and then decided to try some SnGs i crashed down to about $12 but have worked it back up to $150+ playing microstakes.

Never.

First low point was $50, 1-tabled $25nl and then proceeded to grind it to a solid br 4-tabling FR, moved up to $100nl.

Closest was when I had to cash it all out to pay a downpayment and then played $5 6-man SNGs on Pacific on $28, then turned that into $400 in a week, etc etc.

Never. Of course, I've never played real money online, does that count?

Home games are a little different, as the money tends to come out of a wallet and not an account. I've never been down more than 1-2 buy-ins in my short home game career, however.

I've never gone "bust", unless if you count withdrawing everything in my account except for about 70 cents, which I pissed about with and ended up with $0 [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

started with around 125$ on party 2 years ago. Made it up to 15k in around 180K hands of various small stakes (lowest being 0.5/1$ limit and NL25$. Those were the lowest stakes for learning back then on Party)

never been *busto*
