This question is addressed to all players, be regular or not, many people being asked about their income during the day, or for a week, try to hide their earnings, I believe that this question has some basis when we look is not asking for how much has been able to win, but if they have been productive by putting in this point of view the number of games that we make during a day, or a week.
We may not have lost much, but I ask! What is the basis of playing for 7 days to get a profit that we see to be insignificant?
Our profits clearly have the balance of ups and downs, with good days, bad days and last what we call black days. This by the way is the day that I like other players would like to withdraw from our score, but we can not, something gets hammering in our head, we are happy to get something good, even if this something is the minimum, of course everyone who is Studying to win, have reached the desired place.
So, tell us how your day is today, and what your goal for this weekend will be, I'll be here cheering for all to be winners, including myself, good luck and good games.

Speaking of results, so far this week for me is black, but I recovery for sure!:):):)

I happen to make money just to lose it

:DMy problem is I will start with a fairly small bankroll and then invest it back. It's not like I waste it a on one hand in a cash game; I'll take my winnings and invest them into a high stakes sit and go tourney just to be out kicked with an awesome hand.:mad:

I'm simply planning to not deposit ever in my life. I just started playing, and I'm learning a lot, but I refuse to deposit. If I'm not good enough to make some money from free bankrolls once in a while, I'm not good enough to be successful at higher stakes, so why bother depositing jsut to lose everything. I'll climb my way from nothing, and by the time I get some money, I'll be good enough to compete.

If I never achieve that, at least I won't have lost anything.

At the moment, I do not consider myself a successful poker player, because I'm not making money playing poker at the moment. But I often work on myself, over my game. I read various articles, watch professional poker players not only online but also offline poker.

I find it difficult to answer the question whether I am a successful poker player or not! I play poker in a small +! But this result is very difficult to call success!

I consider myself fortunate that I like playing poker, that would be a yes with respect to being successful in the game, as for money, not as much as I would like

Yes I am a successful player when I play calmly and patiently, when I'm not disturbed by some my mistake, or not a winning hand!!

This is a great way of looking at things. and i agree with you,to a point. there are some bonus`s that are just `too good` to pass up. (like a `free` pass to a `major` tournament or i got $50 for a $10 deposit(PP)) Cheers! :)

This is subjective. If you win more than you lose, we can say that you are a successful player. If you lose more than you earn, you are unsuccessful.

I consider myself a medium player, I usually do not lose or win. But I am a hobby player, so for me it does not make so much difference to win or lose.

Are you a successful player?

I hear what you're saying, however, don't you think that the field on the free roll tourneys make it more like a lottery?!

This week was extremely unsuccessful for me! I played a lot of cash and lost a lot. After I lost about $ 40, I switched to sit and go tournaments, with an extremely low buy-in, no more than 2.50 per game. But something also lost everything. After analyzing my failures, I realized that the loss was due to a wrong game sometimes. Therefore, I decided to dedicate this week only to freerolls, so as to calm down a little, and to increase again my self-esteem. Yesterday won two cents)))))))

I'm not afraid to share my failures and successes, discuss how much I win and lose. As long as poker does not bring me a paycheck, it only makes the nerves tickle. I bet a little, but I win a little, I lose a little. My bankroll rarely comes out more than $ 100, but I do not often replenish it. I play for this money, I lose first, then I play out. Unfortunately, my game is still in place, in terms of winning. But I'm constantly looking for ways to develop my game, read books about the game, articles, watch videos.
Undoubtedly, when I first start a party for myself because of the money I won, perhaps from that day I will become more accurate in my stories about the amounts I spend on the game and win))))))
