$30-100 just won't cut it unless you play at micro-limits of .05/.10 or .10/20. Some people deposit that first 50 or 100 and never look back but those are the exceptions not the rule.

I started w/ $700 and lost at least $400 before I became a winning player and turned everything around at limits as low as .25/.50. I also had absolutely no poker experience so your learning curve might be a bit better.

I now consider myself a solid player with lots of cash game profits, SNG wins and MTT wins in all venues including home games, online and B&M, and still experience -200 swings.
