Depends on what you're going to play, on what limits

Make no deposit at all and play freerolls. And if you win something scrumptious, deposit the minimum and then withdraw :profit:

I wouldn't recommend you to deposit more than $100 because you're going to lose the money in most cases. If you are rich enough, feel free to deposit as much as you can afford. Then you can start playing NL1k and beat the fish playing there.

Deposit around 1/2 of how much you can save in a month.

Hi Efinov355,

It all depend on how much experience you have in poker, If you are intending on being a Recreational player or wish to try and become a pro. If you are just starting out it is good advice to only deposit a small amount.

Have a look at the Free Money offers. I would also recommend working your way through the 'poker for beginners' section found here.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Good luck at the tables.

Regards

Matt

I have moved you're question to the Q&A board, because it's fits better there.
It depends also a lot what kind of first deposit bonus you can earn and that depends per site.

Cheers,

I think this is impossible to answer without knowing what stakes are you playing and how much do you have experience. If you are just beginning your poker career and starting at NL2 I would say $20 is enough.

If you are new to poker simply sign up for one of the free bankroll offers on pokerstrategy, and start playing the smallest limit they have available. spend twice as much time studying and thinking about your play, as you do playing this is very good advice!

If you want to player with a larger bankroll and can afford to deposit more money, then as others have said i'd reccomend no more than what you can save in half a month. Poker is a game full of variance (for winning players even) and while you are learning you want to keep your outlay as small as possible!
