How successful are you at online poker?

#1 October 20th, 2019, 10:49 PM

I am only wondering if the majority of CC users are profitable or not online? Also, is there a difference in how profitable you are on different sites?

My ROI is around 600% (What I earned as oppose to what I invested in online poker from my own pocket). Regardless, the amount is rather small compared to what I can create and earn live. This is mainly due to having CC to boost my BR and recently to start it from scratch.

for the first month of the game while only freerolls, the highest possible place somewhere in the top 500 of 4 thousand participants

Their performance is very good, 600%, their winnings are already above pokeronline average.

hi hi Boz
i lose most times
when i started poker may 2018, i use $500usd for deposit into 5 poker places, i still playing in each one, never need place another deposit
some even have greater than start
much thanks for cardschat, i able occasional win tiny bits

Online my gain I consider it profitable since I started from scratch before making my first deposit and I consider myself a pretty good player in the online game.
but as you say the gain is greater when playing live since the variance does not condition you since in the live player more is the reading of the opponents

In most cases, I play poker only in freerolls, so I do not actually spend money on the game. Moreover, lately, I have been gradually increasing my bankroll. But in any case, poker is just a hobby for me.

#7 October 21st, 2019, 6:47 PM

Hello ,I�m happy with the money I�ve won in the 3 poker sites I play in(PokerStars,888 and Party Poker)..I�ve had to make small deposits in order to withdraw my winnings not because I�ve lost my bankroll.Debit card requirement How successful are you at online poker?

.Good luck to everyone!

#8 October 21st, 2019, 6:54 PM

I guess I�m not that good, I was playing in freerolls most of my life but lately I have made a couple of deposits an broke in but deposits.lol I love the game.

#9 October 21st, 2019, 8:13 PM

I'm sure I would be much more successful if I pay more attention to it improving my skill and playing more hands...

I first started playing online with deposits, probably tripled my investment then lost it all within a day or two (huge leaks in the game). Afterwards CC kicked in so I had bankroll built solely based on CC$ and won some significant amounts that far exceed what I invested.
I am most glad to hear that someone is also profitable online, even by a small margin, gj How successful are you at online poker?

That works both for online and live game. Before I was using CC, I was super good at live game, was super talented to spot when someone is super strong or super weak. After CC I have such good theoretical knowledge which enabled me to continue being profitable live, and also to be rather good online How successful are you at online poker?

I can say with confidence that I have never had any cons on any site. In total, for my game I did not lose my money and only got money to withdraw winnings. The largest was $ 3,100 for Partypoker, and the rest in detail was no more than 50.

600% WOW Thats impressive
Mine is 65%
Anything positive is very good for online being that 2 and 3 outers seem to be the NUTZ online.
I may need to ask advice cause my style works GREAT live but online im constantly beat by 2 and 3 outers. Ivecashed out twice this year but compared to live my winnings online are absolutely NOTHING compared to investment!!

I like online poker, but I find I do not make as much money as live. I find online poker I made money years ago. Now much harder just don't catch what I need to win, or my strong hands don't hold up. Online I think is a hard way to make money, need to luck. I find playing live is a better way to be successful.

Yes, 600% seem off the charts, however, only money I deposited from my own pocket counts as investment, while only money I withdrew counts as return of investment.
At some point I stopped depositing, but continued playing through CC, and then had a month of a very good runs where I earned a lot (especially during last SCOOP event). That's why my ROI is insane, only thanks to CC..

600% would be great if you put in 10K. Seriously I think most people here have other sources of income and dream of hitting it big in a tourney. Most people looking to learn and hear about success of others. I think all long term users of the forum (over 12 months) would be positive if they look at stakes after first few months.

#17 October 25th, 2019, 7:24 PM

I mostly try to build bankroll with freerolls, I am losing player and can't stick to bankroll management thats the reason why I don't deposit too often. But in general I can win something if I am focused and take it seriously.

#18 October 25th, 2019, 7:29 PM

Howdy, I have been playing for a year now and invested about 1500 on two different sites. No luck since the beginning. I haven't put money on in 2 months and don't plan on it :O) Been playing freerolls, learning trying to get a little better. Good luck out there and keep grinding

#19 October 26th, 2019, 2:48 AM

Are you at a downswing ever.I started at average 850% ROI.The hit a downswing to 450%.I was playing same poker.Just a lot of beats.I kept same range and since I was up i entered a lot more tournaments.Next time Im up i may just take a break then come back.

#20 October 26th, 2019, 3:28 AM

Im a small stakes player, made a small deposit, and make small withdraws. Recently Im around 300%, and lifetime its more like 1000%

To further explain why my ROI is that large (as I tried in one of the posts above):

I consider money invested only the money that came out of my own pocket that I deposited.
So if I deposit 30$ and win a CC freeroll for another 20$ my investment is still only 30$.

At some point I stopped depositing (a lot of restrictions in my country so its a real pain to deposit to online poker sites), so my only BR was really being built on what CC offers through freerolls and events.
When I turn that into some bigger amount of money, and when I compare that to what I deposited in total in my lifetime, yes, my ROI is huge.

Regardless, downswings are a huge part of everyone's play online, so it's to be expected.

#22 October 30th, 2019, 6:26 PM

In general, I have a good profit in online poker. I invested about $ 100 all the time, won and withdrew a lot more money from the account, I did not calculate the exact amount of money. I did not find differences in different poker rooms. I read a lot and heard from my comrades that PokerStars has the strongest players, a lot of regulars and therefore it�s harder to play there. But if you play correctly and well, then there is no difference in which poker room you play.

#23 October 31st, 2019, 3:16 PM

I make like $100 a year playing poker. Not enough to live on.

#24 November 1st, 2019, 12:16 AM

Lifetime earnings are positive $11 in 800 plus tournaments. I figure at that rate in about 20 years I will have enough for a new poker set.

#25 November 1st, 2019, 1:00 AM

I suck at online poker. I have way better results playing live poker. I play a lot tighter game when playing live poker. In the freerolls i look at it like this it's a way to practice different approaches to the game.

#26 November 2nd, 2019, 4:48 PM

At the moment I am losing money with the online poker game..I hope to get back soon ..

#27 November 2nd, 2019, 5:03 PM

I cant put money on sites so play cc freerolls and buy in have couple hundred from that so i guess i am doing alright. Just like to to see how i compare to other players. Nice group of people hear and some great players too.

#28 November 2nd, 2019, 10:01 PM

Like many others in this thread, I also play freerolls and use those to build a BR. However, on those days where I get bored and decide to spend that BR... I don't do that well.

#29 November 5th, 2019, 11:33 PM

So I didn't make any money playing in the month of October; I actually lost money, but I streamed for over 300 hours and ACR paid me $1,500 for it.

How successful are you at online poker?

The ACR Stormer program is actually open for anyone to apply; here is the pay scale for how much you can make streaming poker for America's Cardroom:

I literally suck at poker, lost money, but made more money than 95% of poker players. It's a pretty sick deal and available to everybody. I don't see why more people aren't aware of this and applying.

Does this count as success yet?

#30 November 5th, 2019, 11:36 PM

Up 30k or so, but don't have time or a busy enough website to really win much any more. Play for fun. Never deposited.

Wow, this actually sounds great! I haven't heard of this until now, which probably is the reason why more people are not streaming, basically, no one knows about this.

It may be good to post a thread about this, so that more people get to know about the stream.
However, my guess is that the amount of money doesn't only depend on the hours of stream but on the number of viewers as well.

I wouldn't say it counts as profit from playing, but it is a profit non the less.

#32 November 8th, 2019, 8:46 PM

I am not very successful at online poker. I lose more than I win, but I am still addicted to the game. I just play micro stakes and freerolls for entertainment.

#33 November 9th, 2019, 9:34 PM

That's funny, but oh so true for most of us! My gauge to how successful I am is how close I can get to minimum wage. I don't usually quite make it, but every once in a while I'm close.

#36 November 9th, 2019, 10:11 PM

im not as successful as i would like to be with a ROI around 400%, im holding my own, started of a few years ago with a 200$ depo on 3 sites, and im still playing everyday on them 3 sites, only regular depo on one of them,

#37 November 9th, 2019, 10:13 PM

wow your up 30k, what a dream that would be hahaha, over the last 5 years or so, im up about 7000$ not as good as 30k but i hold my own, and a very congratts to the 30k

Thanks for the reminder. CC is indeed a great place to remain up to date with Poker in general! I play mostly MTTs for now and just recently got back to playing cash games. I'm definitely a little rusty. My ROI is negative 🤦*♀️ Time to put the effort

#39 November 16th, 2019, 2:15 PM

Did you know? If you start with zero, any profit is infinity percent.

#40 November 16th, 2019, 3:30 PM

I've lost. I've almost given up on online poker. I had won $12.50 in a freeroll, got up to $28, then lost. I played for 13 hours straight. I realized online poker is not worth the mood swings for $2 an hour, regardless if it comes from freerolls or a deposit.
