The honest answer for the majority of players would have to be lose more than you win. That is just the statistics behind it. I have probably lost a little more than I've won but I only play within my means. I tend to be more profitable in live games than I do online but online is so much more convenient. The closest casino (that I will play at) is about 2 hours away so I dont make it there too often. I'm not going to go to a casino that has digital tables. Might as well just stay at home and play if you are going to play on a computer. I love chips and cards in hand.
I have won more than I have lost, I don't risk a lot so my returns are not big. But I have fun and play for free. I haven't really played that much at all lately. I got sick of the so very late registrations, I will play more after a little break I guess.
I'm currently in the negative.
Had a problem with tilting in the past and with long streaks of bad cards.
Now I can deal better with it, but still need to find a way to cope with the long streaks of not hitting.
I restarted since 2 months (been inactive for several years), and now I'm finally getting profits, but still have a way to go to make up for my losses of years ago.
I won a lot more than I lost, but if you count as a percentage. If you look at the real money received, then this is not much. But I'm not very upset because poker is not my job, this is my hobby.
You're not going to believe this but when I started playing live poker after 8 years or so, playing at play/fake-money poker sites, I decided to calculate my wins and losses (math geek, that's right).
Since mid June 2018 up until late June 2019, I've won 545 bucks and lost 227 bucks. That's 318 bucks in winnings. Used to go two to three days a weak and I frequently played at 40 cent / 80 cent stakes, sometimes at dollar / two, occasionally at 3 / 6.
Online is a different beast though, I remember I lost 100 bucks all in one day, and I never deposited again, playing only freerolls now and I'm trying to build something, grinding.. currently planning to make way to the nearest casino which is 700 km away (crazy) and play live again. Nothing beats the thrill of live poker games.
Good evening everyone.
I made more money, because I don't usually make deposits in a row, I make a deposit and if I break down I will accumulate bankrolls by playing freerolls.
According to sharkscope, I am almost $ 250, positive.
This is such a difficult question to answer. Even calculating for a whole year, even the best player might be down one year and up another. There is so much variance involved in the calculation.
