How much have you won or lost playing online poker?

Just wondering how much some of you have won or lost playing online poker.

I have won $1700 playing, since a $50 deposit in august i might add

Well im up about $2800 over the past 2 weeks, deposited $100 initially, got lucky for 2nd in a $15 tourney and.... been playing cashgames. 1/2 mostly and some 2/4

you need to learn some bankroll management if your playing 1/2 with a 100 deposit. you should have a 8000$ bankroll if you're playing 2/4.

i got over 800 for 2nd though, buy-in for $100...8 buyins is good you truely have no idea how soft cakepoker is

doesn't matter. it doesn't matter how much better you are than your opponents. eventually you'll have a bad run of cards or a bad streak of bad beats. so if your playing in limits that are too big for your bankroll you'll eventually hit a downswing and lose all of it, even if your name is phil ivey or doyle brunson.

Hmmm, perhaps, but it does not matter now I have over 25 buyins

I'd say i've lost about $50 all in all lol i'm sure there won't be many people posting a loss but yeah i haven't been playing for a great deal of time online and my live games more then makes up for this short-fall :P lol.

ya, most guys fine they can make more money live than online.

The beauty of starting from freeroll cash = I've never lost anything other than time, in net terms.

Boy howdy have I lost some time though

pokerstars gave me 5 dollars. so far i've turned it into twelve.

I've lost $100 over the course of two $50 deposits. My first deposit lasted 9 months, I got it up to $200 pretty quick but slowly trickled down to $0. My last $50 was depostied for tournaments because I was feeling lazy and didn't want to go to the casino to play. I thought my first deposit was pretty good considering I was really just learning the game. My second one was pretty much disposable, I didn't really try to budget it so it went pretty quick

i've lost $3,000 then doubled the loss to $6,000 when i played $250/$500 heads up poker

I can concur as I have experinced this first hand. I went broke playing .10/.25 pot limit omaha and buying into too big tournies with a $120 bankroll. Now I play 2c/4c and have a $40 bankroll which isn't bad as I have been building since the start of the month (from 4 $3 SNG entry bought with points) and have had one entry to the 300k sunday this month (for an outlay of $2).

At the end of it all I have not lost anything as since I deposited $250 and I took out $300.

this is mine ^^^ im so glad my profit is not negative

btw i know my ITM is pretty bad but the main reason i am still above in profits is because i followed good BR management and on the ITMs i did win i was usually in the top 9 meaning my pay to win ratio was huge.

oh i guess you can see that in the upper right hand corner...

how do you get that chart

I have lost alot of money in the beginning when I first started playing in 2000. It seemed like the first year and a half seem to be a learning stage. I think everyone loses more than what they will tell you on here. But as time goes one and you learn, you will make up the loses you have had in the past. But tell you the truth, I have went broke more than once, until I learned alittle bankroll management.

Started with $25 five days ago and busted out.
Added $100 three days ago and now I'm up to $225.

i've made $1200 on a $50 deposit. so i cashed out payed some bills and now i'm trying to start all over again buy placing in some freerolls. would like to start a nice bankroll through freerolls.

424% roi very nice i like

so far have turned pokerstars 5 dollars into 100

wow very impressive and thatsonly ion the last 120 days.....big win???MTT??

either way very nioce....

oh and for the person that asked how to get these statistics....go to officialpokerrankings.com

I have lost around $600 online. Live I make a profit. Im starting to get the hang of playing online and it has improved my live game significantly.

Up 7 times my original buy in on FUll Tilt for $100. Thats $700 profit for 9 months. Poker Stars Im even. Just joined BoDog and am trying to do the Ferguson bit. Starting with nothing. 1st week in freerolls and I have a profit of $10.50. Hope to build it into 10K in a year.

My biggest win was on paradisepoker, won a 30 usd bye in tournament 4700 usd, and my biggest los was on nordicbet, over 1800 usd in the pott 3 peopel in it and I had qq full house, and one athor had the straghit, and the third one had traghit flush.

Ive been playing a couple of years now online and Ive gained ground and lost ground probably lost a couple Gs all together. Im not sure how to gain ground I usually loose big pots eventually to bad beats. Like pocket Ks and get beat by pocket AAs and stuff like that. Whats the answer?

Beat the low limits first

Wow, YOU HAVE DONE GREAT!! I started out good, deposited $600 in Full Tilt, got it up to 1200 including bonus, drew out 600, and then everything went to pot!! I lost 600, redoposited the original 600, lost that!!! Now I am just a bonus hound. I go from site to site earning bonuses and am up maybe $1000. I am not a good poker player!!

so my dad got me into holdem.. and my first 50$ on pokerstars jumped to 250 then to 0. after this i did another 50$ buy in and got up to 400!!! then to 0. I was playing 2/4 or 1/2

so tonight i did another 50$ buy in and lost it all without ever gaining. I am starting to hate my life and i just downloaded cake power because of this thread.

I dont want to give up on this loss.. any advice from you successful veterans?

I may not be a successful veteran but I do know that playing 1/2 or 2/4 w/ $50 is insane. Start low w/ a $50 bankroll. Maybe some $2 SNG's or the micro tables on Cake or Pokerstars should be okay. You need to build that roll to at least $2000 before you attempt 1/2. My personal experience has proven that no matter how good you are playing you will still see huge downswings and you need to ride them out but you will not be able to do this with out a proper bankroll. My roll was just over 2k last week and I experienced a 10 buyin downswing at .25/.50. That's $500! Almost 25% of my roll was demolished. If I had lost 10 buyins at 1/2 I'd be broke. So again, my advice is to play within you limits.

Back to the original poster. Overall I am a winning player. I've won a few thousand over a few years but more recently have taken poker more seriously. Last month I logged 44.5k hand with a very insignificant winrate after my huge downswing. Gonna keep grindin it out. My goal is to play 2/4 with a proper roll within the next 12-18 months.

The huge benefit of building a bankroll from scratch is that you become a better player by the time you have a bankroll. If it's a gift then play the lowest limits until you're cashing more often than the odds would dictate. So if you play 9 person SNGs that pay the top three your cashing % should be higher than 33% and naturally at an overall profit. GL.

biggest cash-game hand won about $2,000 - biggest tournamnt win about $4200.

however i haven't got the endurance to play online poker, but live works just great =)

I guess i'll be honest i've lost close to about 13k now, but that's been in the past 3 yrs, as for winnings (which i've lost btw though, lol), was about 9k (but this was al due to bad BRM), um so you take that as you will, tha'ts honesty at it's best, lol

career winnings.......56.00$ approx
career losses...........7.00$
total......................+49.00$

remember i just started playing for money last weekend

poker is a long term project, I am up since i started playing but that's for me and my tax preparer to know how much.
