For all those poker players who have been playing for more than a year, how are your finances? are you in loss or gain? Do you consider with this game you can live?

I personally have not been playing the year yet and the balance of my ATM is not positive even to live from poker you have to invest a lot of money and be very constant to have a positive balance

You can make a living from poker but many things are involved, discipline, study, time invested, control of emotions etc. , days in which you must remain calm and focused to continue on the right path, a lot of patience ,, I do not consider that you have to invest money, with the minimum deposit and playing freerolls you can achieve great things but patience and management of bankroll

Certanentily, here, you LL found more losers players.

How you can see in sharkscope

If you don’t play poker for one year. You can’t to live several hands for you to be lucrative in this game.

You need to survive for some years on the real poker for you to be a lucrative player

If i'd take gambling seriously then yeah i'd say that this can be my primary (or only) source income ...

... but luckily/sadly i dont so obviously i can afford to lose and that's fine me thinks ...

I am losing more than I win !!! if you can live from poker but it takes time! It is not easy to get out of the micro levels !!!

I want to point out what you said is true, if you do not learn, and just play.

But if you hire a coach and figure out your mistakes, I think you'll start earning

My bankroll is growing solely because of my patience and the freerolls of our community. I am completely satisfied with my results and am working on improving my skills.

I started around 2003 being impressed by what Chris Moneymaker did. The beginnings were tough. There were more losses than gains. There were moments of doubt but the fascination with poker took over. Now I'm generally a lot ahead and have no problem with it. Experience and common sense are base.

Hello.
Although poker is a hobby for me, I still take the game responsibly. My bankroll is growing and I don't spend my own money on the game.

Ganhos e perdas fazem parte da constante do poker, até os melhores jogadores já passaram por momentos de crise, porque a vitória tem que brilhar para praticamente todos, tem meses que fechamos o balanço positivo, mas também tem aqueles meses em que as perdas foram equivalentes, tudo é relativo, no poker online todos perdem, mas todos também podem ganhar, hahahhaa

I certainly have profits from the games! Now if you can live from the game... I think it is a game and it gives more and more if you play systematically!

I have been playing poker for about 5 years. For the first three years, I lost money. But for the last two years, I've learned to make a profit. My bankroll is growing, and that's because I've become more patient and disciplined.

i lost more
i need a coach, i need work on the game
i need a good bankroll

Absolutely gains, but I spend it all in the casino. Gambling for free

I only ever play low stakes so im good.

I only play freerolls. Learned my lesson a long time ago.

First goal of most players should simply be to consistently break even with the rake. At that point you can absorb yourself into the game and push towards profit and keep improving to the level you want to be at.

As for me, I can say that my bankroll is unstable, win and lose, but I haven't deposited or withdrawn any money in a while, and that's not bad in poker, the important thing is that I play and enhance my skills and strategies, one day I will make good wins. As for making a living from poker, this is very difficult, as I cannot rely on the unknown to earn a living, and I am not qualified for that yet Good luck everyone

Bankroll is positive by very small. Grinding my way up the stakes.

I am playing for a long time now. My bankroll is just breakeven. Tilt Control is my problem.

I went back to playing poker last year when the pandemic appeared.

Since then, I made my bankroll from freerolls and start to play on micro tournaments.

I have been playing at micro stakes since 2010. I never even thought of making poker for a living. I play as a profit, but it's like a hobby, like a side job. To earn poker professionally, you need to devote all your time and study a lot. I am not ready for this.

I have been playing for over 4 years and I'm currently steady or breaking even.

Initially never risked enough to matter but last two months I cashed out at 1200 and just under 4k respectively. I also bet sports so maybe 1/4 of that is football. Bulk of it came from Windfalls on BOL as I managed to hit two 1000 dollar prizes along with several 100/250. Haven’t won a game so far this month though. So frustrating

hmmm i have a little gain in poker but eventually i am closer to even

and no , i cant live just from playing poker (: , i would enjoy very much if that will happens someday

Hey!
For me, poker is primarily a hobby, I study, play and enjoy myself, in order to replenish my bonus roll I play in freerolls.

There will be losses and there will be gains. You have to accept this first.

Suppose you played 10 hands. 5 you lost and 5 you won. Then how you are going to consider this game for living?

The answer is simple: Minimize your losses in those 5 hands and maximize your gains in other 5 hands. At the end you will find yourself in plus area.

За 10 лет игры больше убытков чем прибыли

Two years in and have won more than I have put in. I never put money on my account and usually yo-yo between $10-$200. The problem now is I win up to a couple hundred then like the last few days I can’t win a hand for the life of me. Tournament after tournament cash game after cash game it doesn’t matter. Go in first second third limp raise or re-raise I’m getting nothing off the flop but 4/5 a flush or straight and if lucky bottom pair. I get to decide if I continue or not but can’t hit a thing. If you go against me you’ll hit or if not you got me out kicked or high card. Frustrating as all hell.

Certanentily I am a loser
But, how as I play with only freeroll. I have some money I’m my bankroll

But I need to be best in my tournaments

What I win at freerolls I spend on cash tables. So I have zero.

I'm ahead, if I lost money playing poker, I'd quit and play "Call of Duty". I've been playing online for about 16 years.

im in profit, but all of this is just for recreation can't live off by poker in any means

I can say that I am in the green numbers, that is, I have made a profit. I have rarely made deposits, when I do it is to take advantage of the promotions they offer

you can live with the game, but not immediately, it will take some time for you to start playing a plus, if you consider it as the main income, then it is better not to do this, you will spend a lot of energy and nerves

More gains for me but little by little. I deposit small 5-10% of my checks into my poker account and grow it out with heads up play and cash games. Whenever I start to lose I setup my safety net stop loss where my previous balance was before I put the deposit. Then I just rinse and repeat.

It's okay, poker is a normal game.
There is a lot of writing on various poker forums that poker is dying, poker will soon come to an end, and so on.
All this is nonsense, we used to play carefully, mostly tight, and now some kind of madness is happening at the poker tables, in the good sense of the word, there are a lot of crazy players and chips at the tables, like fishing, wait for your fish, catch the moment and pull out the money, only patience is needed and that's it.
