I have been playing online for about a year now. I have probably lost about $1000 maybe a little more all in 10$ at a time deposits (out of my own pocket) I don't include money that I have won only to lose later which is probably somewhere in the $5000 range. I feel like I am getting better and I base this knowledge on a few things. I recently won 1st place in a 3$ Knockout MTT among 90 players. I don't know if that is an accomplishment but for me is is major and prior to that I won 4th place in a 4$ Rush poker 135 man tournament. I have also noticed that playing the free roll tournaments gives me good practice, but I am still at the point where I couldn't imagine making it to the final table of one of those tournaments. My question is this Is it realistic to make a pack to myself only to play with money earned from the free roll tournaments or is there an easier way to build a bankroll? <em>Edit by AlCantHang: I would suggest loading on of the poker management software packages to track your bankroll building and stick to a solid bankroll management philosphy.

My question is this
Is it realistic to make a pack to myself only to play with money earned from the free roll tournaments or is there an easier way to build a bankroll?
