How many of you can say you won more money than you lost in poker?
In the beginning I made some deposits of $10,$20 with some tournament winnings I believe I would be in a tie but I stopped with the deposits playing only with money won from free tournaments and promotions so there is some cash profit but this profit does not is not too big.
Ultimately poker for me is just fun.
Over time, the demand for poker has increased a lot so the free tournaments of old can't be played anymore. The only tournaments that are still good to play are the ones here in the community. That seriousness always prevails so we can play playable tournaments.

This is no secret,sharkscope doesn't lie.
I've been playing poker for about 4-5 years, and in that time I haven't spent more than $ 100 on the game. And thanks to freerolls, I have probably won several thousand. I don't see the need to brag, because for me the main thing is my results, not the opinion of other players.
I only deposit when it gives me a ticket or some benefit. I have never used my own deposit money to play.
Right now, I have a bankroll built over freeroll winnings. But, the moment of truth is coming now that I decided to use it outside of the freeroll world. Lets see if I can make more money or if I will burn it all! LOL

I have won more than I have lost. Each place I play, I deposited $50 and once I doubled my cash, I took my original $50 out. I mostly play freerolls and occasionally micro games so my winnings do not add up to much but I have $280 on 888 and PS I have $400. So every bit of money I have in each account is all won. Those are my 2 main playing locations.
I only play in the lower limits because I only play for as much money as I can afford to lose. Maybe I made around $ 80 playing poker. It is often the case with me. I win something, then I lose something again. I don't get rich by doing this, but it's fun and that's the main thing.
But if you play even 1 or 2 hours a day you will never really make a profit from poker. The variance is far too high for that. The professional online poker players play at least 10 tables simultaneously for 8 hours a day. This is the only way to balance out the variance in poker. They choose tables with a lot of fish and leave the table again if too many fish have left the table, otherwise it is not worth playing for they either. They use HUD stats to identify fish. So if you don't want to play professionally then you won't make big profits, at least not in the long term. Play for fun but not to get rich.
