Be honest, how much money have you lost playing poker?

I have no clue. I have won and lost online, but I have never taken money out of my account...so I keep playing down to zero, then build it up again. I rarely win playing cash games live at casinos while on vacation...my biggest score was winning $640 at the wsop Colossus in 2019 when I was with the Cardschat WSOP team. Now that was a blast!
 
I've never really lost any money playing poker because I've never deposited any actual money from my finances. I started with $5 when I joined poker stars, and as I didn't have any clue what I was doing I ended up losing it. I think I played $1 SnGs, but if I had explored the software further I would have seen the $0.01, $0.10 and $0 25 and probably would have built that up.

Then I just played freerolls when I returned 5 years later that poker stars offered, which was great back then as they had a lot of freerolls offering different formats so I could learn all types of poker, how I miss that 😢, they even had a UK only based freeroll everyday, oh wait that was full-tilt before the merge I believe, I really miss that one 😭

I know if I hadn't joined cardschat that I wouldn't be playing poker now, I am quite shocked that I've been as active as I have, as I normally quit things like forums, I join and then I forget about it, so it just shows how much I love being here.

All the money I've earnt playing poker is down to cardschat and the amazing people I've met
 
I mostly enjoy playing MTT tournaments in a Freezeout format. For me, poker is more about the competition and the thrill of reaching the final table rather than just the money. Lately, I’ve been playing only freerolls for fun, so technically, I can’t lose any money. The only thing I’m really losing is the time I could have spent with my family.
 
I lost about $600 dollars playing poker because 888 poker left Belarus, I can’t log in to SB, Bol and PS.

I lost about 10,000 ten thousand dollars in poker if I'm not mistaken, maybe more, maybe less
 
I used to lose... but not much... now I'm learning to draw conclusions in time...))) There is a plus, but not a big one yet... There is not much time, so there are almost no tournaments)
 
Good morning everyone!

I have been playing poker since the end of 2018 and most of the time I play Freerolls. This has made my bankroll very high, allowing me to win much more money than I lose. Even when I played for money, I was always profitable at poker.

However, due to the advertising, I started playing roulette in virtual casinos and ended up losing part of the money I had won. Even though I know that roulette is a game of chance, where the more you play, the greater the chance of losing, the possibility of multiplying a small amount quickly attracted me. I have had cases where I entered with $50, $100 or $200 and left with $1,000 at the roulette table. In other words, it is possible to win in the short term, but in the long term, the tendency is always to lose.

If I could go back in time, I would never play roulette and I would not recommend it to anyone. Sometimes you may win, but in the long run, losses are inevitable. If your goal is to make consistent profits, poker is the way to go, especially online, where strategy and skill make all the difference.

As I only play freerolls so far I haven't had any losses
Same here, I use my freeroll winnings and then play in paid tournaments.
 
I probably would have make $10,000 just to break even after 15 years of playing.
 
The first I lost and now I can earn and become pro player, every thing has it cost
 
I am in the black. Although honestly, it's probably mainly that way due to a single big win at a cash game. I normally play micro stakes online and was a little down, but played in a £1/£2 live cash game and tripled my buy in, which probably put me a few hundred up.
 
Nothing this year, in fact i'm well ahead. I lost more than money though well before that. Best say no more.
 
I think it's about $300 (at the current exchange rate), but that was about 15 years ago, and I haven't invested a cent since.🤷‍♀️
 
Being honest I can say that I have not lost any money, because I only play free tournaments. In case of losing money; I only lose the one I win in these tournaments
 
0 USD

I'm a beginner and only play freerolls on this moment
I earned more than 100 USD at this time.
