Started online, 3years ago. Back in those days there were plenty of 'no deposit' bonuses to chose from (still remember 75$ at Party) but I blew them all. Then I was chasing freeroll tourneys (fail). Then I found Everest Poker which was running continuous freeroll turbo limit SNGs: 1st got 5c, 2nd 3c, 3rd 2c. As soon as I had 20c (min to buy into lowest $2nl game) I was taking shots till I eventually made it. And that's something I take great pride of: I never ever deposited my own money, but built something from nothing.
