win or lose

just wondering how many people think there ahead or at a lose playing online poker not sure how to post a poll but ima try

I'm not ashamed to admit that overall, lifetime, I'm a losing player online. But at least it's not into 4 figures yet.

I've tried the grinding of a bankroll and it's just not for me. I know my limitations, and I do not have the time to invest into it to take it more seriously, so I will continue to remain a decent recreational player. One who has success but ultimately falls victim to streaks of tilt and bad runs.

Fortunately there are some favorable home games I play in that help offset some losses. And overall live and online poker is about -$188 for me this year. Which considering the amount of hours of entertainment I've gotten out of it, really is not bad at all.

Cake!

Bastard

losing online but online has made me good enough to make way more money playing live. So its worth it in my eyes, like going to poker college .

well said begley im probally a little loser only thinks to one big win on bodog several years ago probally still down a couple thousand but thats over 10 years and ive had a lot of fun so its really cheap entertainment for me and it also helped me in my live game at witch i have managed to stay ahead in for the last few years.

I have cashed out 11 times in the last year with a total of 4800, i have deposited 6500, but have been hot lately and hope to bring that back to even.

I haven't actually made any cashouts yet so I am at a loss so far but I know if I'm patient the cards will turn and I will get to make money.

I can proudly say I am a winner via online poker, but the harsh truth of things is I will probably never cash out and the only things I will actually get from full tilt or pokerstars is promotional stuff like a car.

I have cashed out $26,000 over deposits in the last 6 years and I have an
online bankroll of just over $700 that i continue to build.

Hard to say. You can't lose money in a freeroll. But I have many cashes there, including several private ones, which pay better. Most real money tournaments I do are strictly private. I've mostly not cashed, which is normal. If there was no money added, I probably would have broken even by now, but with the added money in my relatively few wins, I'm way ahead.

In my cash games, strictly Omaha H/L with the occasional Razz, I'm probably a little better than even, maybe 10% - 20% ahead.

i have made 5 cash out (largest $471) no deposits and have real money at 4 sights. so i have been on a freeroll for 4 years.

very nice glad to see some are winning i have found a site that seems to cater to my tight playing style so for now im on a roll there 4th in a 500$ freeroll laST NIGHT and won 3 2$ sit and gos in a row and have built my bankroll from 30 that i deposited to 240 over 3 days

I am net down ~400 online, but I mostly play for fun online and not for serious money.

Live games, however, are different story and I am a consistent winner there. Nice $1000+ win session yesterday in a $1/2 game.

Nice Question.






I'm not going to answer it.

Im by no means a big winner but i have withdrawn more then if deposited and now have a BR that allows me to play 25nl(and hopefully soon 50nl )

i put in a total of $160(got another 90 in bonus) lost it all. sharkscope got me down $407. i also figured a spent $350 in rake. i won in MTTs but lost it all back in STTs. this year i started w/ 28 cents in my bankroll and gotten it up to $96 and still growing. it was all freerolls then 2nl where i'm at now for the time being. this site has made me a winner. although i'm not even online yet.
