if you ask this question for an encouraging answer I do not think it's a good idea because everyone is their experience, try your luck and see if the poker will be profitable for you or not .. and learn as and when see the result. but do not spend a lot of time playing. make a limit good luck

Noo, I actually win moore than I lose, but I am just a recreational player & use strict balk roool management.

#4 May 9th, 2019, 8:54 AM

At the moment I have a golden mean, no more or less)

#5 May 9th, 2019, 9:08 AM

in all the years that I have been playing yes I have won more money than I have lost I mean poker has been profitable, but this year I am in red numbers I hope to be able to recover quickly

#6 May 9th, 2019, 12:32 PM

#7 May 9th, 2019, 12:50 PM

if we talk about poker, then yes. if on the other gambling games, then .....

#8 May 9th, 2019, 1:30 PM

I have to play a long time and I am still a fish, but since I had to keep it a medium between not lose and not win while standing to gain experience and do not miss more than till now won eh

#9 May 9th, 2019, 5:05 PM

For sure i made some money from poker. I had some years when i made a living from this game.

#10 May 9th, 2019, 5:10 PM

Ahead for sure.

#11 May 9th, 2019, 5:13 PM

as long as I play poker, I profit....

#12 May 9th, 2019, 5:32 PM

Lost 60$.

#13 May 9th, 2019, 6:14 PM

so far I think I've lost more than I've won, but my experience in poker has grown

#14 May 9th, 2019, 6:20 PM

Not even close when compared to my entire life. I think the only way that'll happen is if I hit the lottery.

On a side note I have been doing pretty well today. Playing small buy-in's and low count tables. Did you win more money than you lose ?

#15 May 9th, 2019, 6:37 PM

Most likely, I lost more money than I won. I have been playing poker for only one year. But I hope that in the future this trend will change for the better.

#16 May 9th, 2019, 7:01 PM

Not currently, but I think I'm on the right track: D

Since I focus on freerolls, I have definitely won more than I've lost. The big fear is spending more time on the cash tables and want happens to my bankroll then.

#18 May 10th, 2019, 5:23 PM

Hello.
I play poker for only one year. For all this time, I spent about $ 200 on the game and won about $ 400. That is, my result is +200 dollars.

#19 May 10th, 2019, 6:26 PM

I do not like to spend my money, so I play mostly in freerolls and therefore won more than made a deposit.

#20 May 10th, 2019, 7:34 PM

Hello! I can say with confidence that I won more than lost, I hope that this will happen in the future! The main discipline and bankroll management!

#21 May 10th, 2019, 7:57 PM

For now yes but they are only few bucks. Hope to get better in future.

#22 May 10th, 2019, 7:59 PM

I have the claim to fame of never having to have put money into pokerstars and have been playing micro MTT's and games for a few years now, with a varied ammount of success. its thanks to freerolls like cardschat and a few others that have allowed me to get above .50 cents and actaully have a mini bankroll. so yes, i have def won more than ive put in.

#23 May 10th, 2019, 8:01 PM

Usually i loose more, especially in cash games.

#24 May 10th, 2019, 8:05 PM

I won more than i lost specially with with live poker at casino's. And online won a lot with cashgame but playing more for fun than for profit.

#25 May 10th, 2019, 8:17 PM

I just play and make a certain limit on the bank before the game starts.

I'm a loser.
At first I did not count. Now I'm going up my stats. Did you win more money than you lose ?

#27 May 10th, 2019, 9:09 PM

I won more than I lost. I am a supporter of smooth growth in limits. Your ego can inflate your skill level, but only statistics will give the right answer. Therefore, it is better to start playing poker with freerolls or microlimits, perfecting the theory and confirming your superiority, and then moving on to the next level.

#28 May 10th, 2019, 10:43 PM

I would warn the poster that many people are reluctant to share losses while excited to share wins. So I would not infer how easy or hard it is to make money long term playing poker by random responses on the internet. I think the general consensus is that the average poker player is a loser. It stands to reason as the average player would normally break even theoretically but then when we add in the fact that online and casino games all take a rake you must be better than average (or lucky) in order to make a consistent lifetime profit. Also the more you move up the ranks the tougher the games will get in general. So while some people have posted they made money their first year, a few years later that may not be the case. It will be very difficult to know for sure what percentage of players are life time winners just take solace in the fact that being a lifetime winner is rare and when and if you get there you should be proud. Poker isn't for everyone.

For me personally. I started playing around 2003/2004 and only officially started tracking every session in 2014. I show a lifetime profit but I have been playing for a long time and have read and studied the game. I am a recreational player but obviously there are also professional players who manage to make a lifetime profit. So it may be difficult but it is possible to be a lifetime winner. Hope this helps.

#29 May 11th, 2019, 12:23 AM

Currently I have broken just about even from fixing my game and now playing a lot better I am only a little over even but that�s a win for me lol

#30 May 11th, 2019, 12:56 AM

I believe I'm up, but that's just from being able to play without depositing from freeroll winnings. Since I've been here at CC I've started a couple of small rolls, and I'd like to thank them for the opportunity to do so... thank you Cards Chat. Did you win more money than you lose ?

#31 May 11th, 2019, 12:56 AM

I've easily lost my bankroll more than I've withdrawn. Granted most of my winnings come from freerolls so technically my bank account doesn't feel the pain, but I have deposited in a few sites a few times and I'm pretty sure my net winnings are negative.

#32 May 11th, 2019, 2:23 AM

Considering I have never deposited a single dime, I'm doing pretty well for myself. I recently made over 100 dollars.

Sometimes I think I'm being targeted by the system, though. I can go hours without a single good hand... And when I do get a good hand, everyone on the table seem to have better hands than me... I think there's a lot behind the scene, but when I notice this bad streak, I immediately quit and wait a whole day to play again. This seems to temporarily fix my "bad luck"... Did you win more money than you lose ?

#33 May 11th, 2019, 2:59 PM

I play poker for 9 years. For the first three years I spent about 300-400 dollars. Then I gradually started to make a profit. The last 3 years poker brings me regular income.

#34 May 11th, 2019, 3:01 PM

Yup - if we're talking about just money online. I've invested probably about $50 total in online poker and cashed out about $200. However, I also buy poker merch and play live tournaments for fun that I never expect to cash in just because my friends are there. I'd say when I'm "playing poker" and trying to win, I'm up about 400% overall. If I'm including "poker as entertainment", I've probably just about broken even.

#35 May 11th, 2019, 3:06 PM

I am playing for few years maybe 5 but not continously and i was only depositing; maybe all together I have lost 2-3 thousands of dollars, sometimes i made some profit, but never, never withdraw single dime.

#36 May 11th, 2019, 5:52 PM

I think im on a breakeven point lost and won an equal amount of money

#37 May 13th, 2019, 8:37 AM

Ever since I play poker, it records all deposits and withdrawals in excel. Hence, I know that I have achieved a profit.

#38 May 14th, 2019, 1:00 AM

i win a lot

tanks

#39 May 14th, 2019, 5:04 PM

i make a few buck and i spend it just as quick as i get it lol.

ill win say $2 ill go and play a few cash games and lose it that fast.
but i dont give up win 1 day lose the next lol

#40 May 22nd, 2019, 9:56 AM

No, I lost more money in poker than I won, and now I’m trying to get all my money back and then start making money playing poker. Unfortunately, I lost a lot of time learning to play poker.

#41 May 22nd, 2019, 11:08 AM

I do not even know what to answer this question. At the very beginning I made small deposits, but over the past 5 years I have not made a single deposit. Now I play from scratch and help me freerolls, including tournaments Kardchat.
I think I'm still in the red, but very small in the region of 100-150 dollars. But if you take into account the money won in poker and lost in the slot machines of the casino, my minus is about 4000 dollars.

#42 May 22nd, 2019, 12:33 PM

Since the last 2 years I can say I am a profitable player but it isnt even upper my losses of whole time playing. I think that but I have anythink written down.

#43 May 22nd, 2019, 1:47 PM

At the beginning I was on a deficit but later I started making good profit, I hope I continue in the same path hahaha

#44 May 22nd, 2019, 1:47 PM

Hi.
In fact, I play only in freerolls, so poker always brings me profit. On average, I manage to win $ 20-30 a month.
Good luck.

#45 May 22nd, 2019, 1:53 PM

I defiantly have won more online then in person. All together I'm winning so far.

#46 May 22nd, 2019, 7:05 PM

Have a positive ROI on all accounts but just play recreational.

#47 May 22nd, 2019, 7:27 PM

If you count all the time, then of course I won more than I lost, but this is not enough and I'm going to win a lot more Did you win more money than you lose ?

#48 May 22nd, 2019, 7:30 PM

Yes, I m 2000 euro +, but for.... 5 years.

I first started playing poker, I replenished my bankroll with small amounts of 10-20 dollars and I tried to raise them up to 100-200 and more and then withdraw on the card if I win somewhere in cash games or in tournaments from 200-300 I leave for myself for further play somewhere between 20-30 dollars and the rest I transfer to the card, because in my country it�s normal money 200-300-400 dollars, if you convert dollars to currency in my country, then 300 dollars is about the average salary working, so i'm at poker more to win than losing!

#50 May 23rd, 2019, 5:40 PM

id say 50/50
i lose just as much as i win.
you win a little you spend it just as fast as you won it lol
