How much have you won / lost playing online poker?

Hey guys,
Just a question regarding how well people do. I have put in and lost about 200 bucks, $20 at a time at absolute poker (in my newb days). At absolute I never really played the tourneys, just the .50/1.00 NL tables and would seem to lose alot to bad beats on people getting miracle river cards. Since then I have learned alot from freerolls and playing guaranteed tournyes w/ my winnings and am ready to put more down on other sites. Has anyone had great success on any strategies such as playing guaranteed tourneys / playing freerolls and going up from there?

But ya, how are yall doing at online poker?

in cash that i've withdrew and seen, I've probably made 2 grand. In cash I've made and then lost back.... something like 13k?

Total profit, cashouts minus deposits cleared $20,000 on the 1st January from SnGs ($33 mainly) and MTTs.

Do a search, mavsfan. There are plenty of older threads where we've already done a lifetime's worth of bragging

Chuck is right. This recent thread is especially relevant:

How Come I haven't met anyone who admits they're down?

Oh, and please read:

http://www.cardschat.com/build-your-...r-bankroll.php

and the other good articles and threads here about bankroll management. If you really mean that you have been playing $1 NL with a total bankroll just $20, that is suicidal. Just for a comparison, I have $200 at Absolute which makes me feel comfortable at the 25c NL tables. I wouldn`t be happy playing the dollar tables with my current bankroll.
