A few months ago, I put in $120 into the on-line site I currently play at. As of January 1st, I had built it up to $500 through winning small tourneys and in low-limit circle games. Since then I got a little cocky, played higher limits ring games and bigger tourneys, and for the first time since joining, I'm below my original buy-in, and desperately trying to get back to break-even. It's more about pride than money at this point.
Last night I played a 45 player tourney and bubbled, so I'm now at about $80. You can expect to see me at the $5 tourneys and .50/$1 limit games until I get it back to the black.
