Breaking Even

[Hijack47]

Been playing poker bout 5 months now and was seeing some profit and then took a big down swing about $700 and now the last couple weeks I've won about 1k and I'm even again if not a little profit. Is this good or bad?

to start is fine, but if you are new because you came up with so much banking? or you already played but not online?
keep going friend and you will have better results

In poker, that's how it works, you're making a lot and then you lose a lot.

The more often you are in the game,will the presence of the Swing...

the winning is undoubtedly good. continue to win, but do not lose self-control so as not to lose everything. good luck

Definitely good to win $1,000 and be back to even! It takes a lot to win in some of the games being offered now so you are on the right path.

Some advice I wish I had when I was starting out: bankroll management is more important with a bigger bankroll - protect yourself from short-term fluctuations by moving down in stakes when you no longer have the number buy-ins necessary for your current level.

You will regain confidence and re-build your bankroll at the lower stakes.

Good luck to you!

For a beginner this is a very good start. You are well done. Few players have such success.

EDIT: I lost $700 online due to poor bankroll management. I didn't lose it all at once but in $50 deposits playing out of my bankroll. Ended up winning some big sessions live playing 1/2.

Sorry no proof just know what I've deposited and lost. I don't use trackers or software

Another thing to keep in mind - online games are tougher than playing live.

It all depends on your distance from a casino of course but me personally when I play online I play small stakes to try and implement new things into my game since you can find stakes way smaller than live.

I guess you could say I take playing live more seriously (more money, worse players). It's just hard to play for pennies when you play for a lot more live. Just my opinion of course!

I advise you to play 10% of your bankroll, and not to rush
