You can start a bank roll from next to nothing. Please don't get the idea that because you want to play the $11 S&G's you should stick in 25-50 times that amount. Because the result will be the same...you will go broke.

Invest what you feel comfortable in losing, because that very well may be what happens at first. But poker is a learning process and that is just the price you pay. I suggest you put in $50 to $100 and play within the 25-50 buy in rule.
