I make $100 this month and lose $50 next month. It's up and down, but I do have some fun. I'm really not playing for a lot. I just want to go up slowly, because I can't get it off the sites until I get some ID.
m3th0s what poker site you play at? I would use that 6 to register for the lowest MTT's I could. Don't try ring games with what you have. To easy to lose it all in one hand.

#5 - I am consistent at low/midstakes MTTs and net a few K each month in profit. Poker is more of a business investment to me in each session rather than a hobby, and treating poker like that is a key to success in my opinion. Hoping to move up in stakes and get up to #6 as soon as I can :)

I'm a #5.

I had always considered myself to be more of a tournament player, but would play $50NL from time to time. I had stopped playing cash games for quite a while. But recently I joined a $50NL game out of boredom and tripled my buy-in in about an hour. That success led me to continue playing cash games. I increased my bankroll to the point where I could start playing for higher stakes. Lately, I've been going back and forth between playing $200NL and $400NL. I've averaged over $3500 a month over the last couple of months playing about 4 or 5 hours a day.

It was a long long time ago, but used to be #5. But after cashing out several years ago, I now play on and off, and don't deposit. Primarily stick with freerolls for fun and try to build off any winnings I get. So that puts me at a #3 I guess :)

The majority of poker players (80-90%) are loosing. It's a known fact. So Nastena, as I see, is obsessed with the money which is erronious for a new poker player. So Nastena relax and have fun and joy which poker brings any time.

Usually 3, my bankroll is not bigger enough to increase my winnings playing in bigger tournaments.

Good advice

Too much related to me especially your last 2 sentence Sir, just realizing all your earnings time and effort from long hours tourneys will possibly lose in one hand. That's my ending everytime I won in MTT, always get zero at Cash game.

2 or 3. Playing freerolls mainly. I can't stop making the same mistakes every game. It takes 3-4 absolutely similar situations in a row to remember not to do it. I'm so stupid.

1, since I am loosing bankroll by playing out of limit (not my rent money :p) but I will work on it and work on unbeatable sstem and one of them is playing tight and also I love stealing blinds recently, since it can increase your bankroll slowly but without big downs in zoom :)

if you want to earn, it's hard to play freeroll.
if you want to play, it's great to play freeroll.
if you are new player, you will find freeroll spent lots of time.
