Have you won or lost money on Online Poker

jakattack · Jan 24, 2010

lost about 150..... over 2 years its only fun for me

keaton · Jan 24, 2010

I have not had a losing year yet. However, I play mostly freerolls, low limit SNGs, and $1 MTTs.

I use the freeroll wins to play the low limits. This makes it hard to have a losing year.

BEERM4N · Jan 24, 2010

Im a losing cash player but a winning mtt player ~ $1200 + last year

PattyR · Jan 25, 2010

i was down probly..~700 before i joined CC.

currently i have a BR of ~$350 on full tilt..with no deposit..all me grinding..hope to get it to 1K by christmas

coolnout · Jan 25, 2010

Grinded freeroll tourneys to build my bankroll. So everything is basically profit. Somewhere along the way I got the crazy idea to become a good cash game player, so I started and the lowest limits to grind up even tho I was rolled to play higher. Glad I did or would have lost much of my roll when I tried cash games. That's where you'll find me getting kicked in the face daily by variance.

Sumun · Jan 25, 2010

well i started from freerolls then reach a peak of 58 dollars, then with the time i was back to zero
that was my first experience online, then after some months im back and withouth any deposit im now with over 35 dollars (most of it i won today in a sng 27 entrants 2.25 buyin, i took 1st winning 21 dollars

)

well im poor next to you, but im just starting, i care more of my skill than my money

Worak · Jan 25, 2010

+500$ (including losses) grinding from 0 without rakeback or bonusses - which I don't seem to be worthy for

.

If I do get rakeback one day (or get comfortable at PS ) it might really start growing.

NYRebirth · Jan 25, 2010

im down $40 online and up $170 Live

dan · Jan 25, 2010

why do you ask 90% lose money 5% break even 5% make money casinos and poker sites get rich

dontshiveagit · Jan 25, 2010

up and down in the past year about even, sad because it feels like a waste of time. was fun playing tho

cAPSLOCK · Jan 25, 2010

Never deposited... up about $600. (oh wait. I mean 60k --- pennies!!!)

But down from my peak with a breakeven stretch recently that has made me almost want to quit.

I understand you're making a point here. And, I would agree that a significant amount of players lose. And, the vast majority either lose or come close to breaking even. Most of these estimates are thrown around quite a bit. I wonder if anyone has any specific documented stats in this area. I know many on CC use tracking web sites but, do they or anyone else release statistics on all players as a group?

canucks921 · Jan 26, 2010

Over the life of my online play I am definetely down, I donked off alot of chips and money when I was first starting out, I just deposited $30 in early November on Full Tilt and it is sitting at about $272 and change right now, I've been sitting in this range for a couple weeks, can't seem to break the $300 barrier, I play really small stakes however, $5 6man SnG is where you will find me.

Arjonius · Jan 26, 2010

I've managed to cash out well over a million pennies. Not a huge amount in almost five years, but it's hard to complain about making money from a hobby.

jmasterrich · Jan 26, 2010

Since I never deposited money since back in the PartyPoker being legal in the states days, I am up around 1k from grinding private freeroll winnings. Most of it came in the form of 450 bucks in my deepish run (40something out of 25k) in the sunday 250k on stars, that I posted a rail here a while back. Anyway, I coulda been up a lot more if I had played those freeroll winnings a little better. Couldnt have done it without those CC freerolls tho lol.

dillingerdis · Jan 26, 2010

When i first started, that first couple years i was DEFINITELY way down. I have turned it around in the last few and am back out of the hole and up about $4000 i believe.

MrPokerVerse · Jan 26, 2010

I'm up on both Pokerstars and FTP. Have won a few tournaments on both to keep some bad runs at SnG's from having to make a deposit. I do enjoy playing and have no expectations at making a living at this. Tyring to stay profitable and having fun is what keeps me playing.

trojan87 · Jan 26, 2010

im up on poker stars but only a few hundred. down like 250 on ftp and down like 300 on AP/ub lol. all together im prolly about even. ill stick to playing at poker stars exclusively from now on.

JCuervo · Jan 26, 2010

I'm up but not by much. It seem I can never break into the next level...I think the poker gods dislike me.

mig2169 · Jan 26, 2010

This is easy, ihave madeone 50$ deposit onfulltilt, no withdrawls. Bodog no deposit and 1800 worth ofwithdrawls, ultimate be no deposit andno withdrawl, absolute 50$ deposit and 375 with drawl. 2175 profit over 7 years of playing online.

woody19 · Jan 26, 2010

down 500 so far but thats 2 years on fulltilt plus 500 isnt that bad as when i did first start i was down way more but i have learned how 2 play better and trying 2 climb my way back up but still need to take a big mtt down hehe

Makwa · Jan 26, 2010

lost to start then made back now up but need more consistent winnings to say I am beating the game

KingQuadDaddy · Jan 26, 2010

Im the poster boy for bad BRM, and nevertheless im WAY down. I am not going to indulge you all or volunteer for constant abuse if I announce by how much. So lets just say its WAY more than any have posted in this thread.

Yes, but how much have you lost? :bawling:

ooooh smack

I've only deposited on UB PS and FT, whatever their minimums were a couple years ago (certainly less than $75 total), and now I have somewhere right around $200.

I only play micro stakes except in training (I play some $3.40, 9 man sit-n-gos for practice).

Only three weeks ago I had a total of about $75, but my coach has really helped me pick up my game.

Even thinking about "playing" with hundreds of dollars online makes me ill, I make a decent salary but it's still all spent before payday. I haven't borrowed 5 cents on over two years so my situation is slowly getting better, but I don't know how much I would have to have in "expendable cash" to play like some of you all.

ramble ramble

TheUndertaker · Jan 26, 2010
