Hi, Pokersplayers.
Please tell me how much money need to lose to understand that poker is not for you ?))))

Sorry for my English, I am only learning the language.

This quarentine is teaching me. Without lose anything. Poker is not for me. Loosing all my hands... no luck... wait iis just a time

Hah this is negative side of this question.

Positive ask will be:
How much money you need to lose,to learn to play poker?

i have lost 100 but i hope to back all of them as soon as possible !

For 4 days I rose from $ 1 to $ 22 and then lost everything. It's a shame terrible that I did not stop.

I think this is an endless process

I'm pretty sure that even if i'd lose few hundred (if not -thousand) then i still wouldn't stop playing it lol

I’ll share my experience a bit maybe play to your level and be patient. I started with 20 about a year ago, built it up to 60 in dollar tables then got ****y went to 5,,10 buy ins. I lost lol rebought for 50 again I stick to my talent level or what im comfortable with now I’m up a lot and moved onto 10 dollar games. Point is play a lot a lot of micro hands to get better don’t rush things, learn learn. Good luck
PS this quarantine has helped me lol

depends on your goals.

if you're playing poker because you want to make it a career, grind out high stakes for lots of money, and deal with huge variance swings, then it might not be the best option if you're constantly losing a lot of money and not profiting from it.

but if it's a hobby, something you do for fun, and something you're can afford to play without sacrificing finances, then who cares if you lose some money? if you play blackjack for fun, lets say you visit vegas every few years, do you think about the money you lost at the tables? or maybe you like to buy lotto tickets every week, do you think about the $52 you spent in a year and didn't win anything? probably not. so, why worry about losing money in a game you're playing for fun?

Win or lose if you arent having fun its time to stop. no amount of money lost will teach you how to play. you can learn the game but never master it. Good luck at the tables

I don’t think you have to lose much at all to understand that poker is not for you.
Look, if you don't have a sense of success for a long time, after a while you will not want to play poker.
I recommend freerolls so you don’t have to waste money on the game

Thanks, I'm playing freerolls right now.
But 5000-6000 players and winning 50 places ... It seems to me unrealistic to win such a tournament. Although the last places I still won

bro, the same thing happened to me too!
I went up from 1 $ to 24 $, 5 days ago, but now I'm losing everything, I'm not getting any decent games and I don't hit anything on the flop. I'm dropping to $ 15 just because I'm playing low stakes, otherwise I would have lost everything. But the strugle continues.

I'd say whatever your game is, if you lose 100 Buy ins while you are studying and trying to improve, then just forget about it.

So if you play NL2, stop if you lose 200$.

It may be a bit conservative, but surely that would help many more people not losing money, more than stopping few from earning some.

Kkkkk sorry sista. I'ts just figure of speech, it happens automatically hehehe.

More than you can afford to lose. Any money deposited should be instantly seen as lost, if you're then redepositing and trying to chase the loses then its time to give it up..

I just can’t start playing plus, but I always go for it, to get into plus I need to study more and so on, I think that this day will come someday and I will start winning

in many cases to become a winner at the beginning you have to start by winning. I think the ones that stayed in poker are the ones that started on the good side of variance and that we had some wins at the beginning. Nobody likes to lose, and I think that a high percentage of those who go far in the game is because at first the lady fortune helped them a little, thus maintaining the motivation to start studying. I know that when I started I did incredibly well, and that in technical terms I was a winning player from the beginning (in terms of benefits, not real skill). I also think that there are many players with possibilities of having talent who never really start playing because they did very badly at the beginning. I'm not saying that to be a winning player it is impossible to be one of those who do several reloads at the beginning, but I think that at some point you must have been successful at the beginning to continue.
In fact I am one of those who think that online poker learns the basics of the game, but where all the knowledge of the game and the strategies is actually put into live poker, the former being a game of luck manipulated by a software

I never lose my own money but just the gains I made on the frerrolls. which in the end does not really bother me because I consider poker as a hobit and not a way to live. in which I absolutely have to be a profitable player.

Thank tauri103 This is a very smart decision. I like it) Cool!

I hope it will be so) good luck in the game!

not much . after you sell the house and car you will never understand , you will still think that you will win a back .believe me

Friend Ludyiko,
I think it's not how much you lose, but how you lose. And if your mode is Cash, you can lose a thousand dollars in 5 minutes.
The important thing is to stop, open your hands and analyze with good software where you're going wrong, study more like great mentors who post tips on YouTube (right here we have the course available and free, thanks Cardschat) and don't get discouraged.
After doing these tasks, go back to playing and you will see that your results are sure to be better.
I'm Brazilian, my English is not so good, but as in poker, just study and practice and we'll get there.

GL !!

My advice, try a different Poker room. I suspect you are on PokerStars. They don't have great freerolls, besides the Cardschat ones of course, but even then the CC regulars are pretty good players and it isn't easy to get in the money. I find I am more often unlucky on Pokerstars.

I have been playing at 888 lately, and with a 10$ deposit you get a lot of perks and freerolls that are not hard to get in the money. They aren't the greatest site, customer service wise, but you can't have everything. The bonuses only work if you lose, kind of like insurance, so maybe that is another incentive.

Cheers and good luck

If lose $5200+current profit to date in 2020 which is my extremely tight easily affordable bankroll stop loss no more deposits would still keep playing though working on a zero to hero freeroll back to 5k miracle would not quit.
Until then the paced struggle continues plan on keeping my dependants tuition fees in 10 years time,Car and house keys off the felt though like Dany mentioned.

It depends!
do you take sport seriously?
in the long run, those who dedicate themselves are usually profitable.

Each player has his own line of losing money. In venturesome gamblers probably don’t have any money loss border. You need to approach poker wisely. I always choose a place for the game so that I have a minimum of losses and in case of winning a good prize. That is, I choose tournaments with a small entrance but with a large number of players. I don’t go to cash tables, because there I lose my money more often than I win.

But why do you have to lose money to realize that the game of poker is not for you? Play free games, see what it's about, if you are attracted to this game and then you know what to do.

Money is not a measurer, only in your head conducting a competent analysis of your games can you understand that you need to abandon the game, or you need to work out your mistakes and strengthen

I don't know, but I'm sure that 100$ for me is not enoughth coz I'm still playing

The question is quite complex. Some players don't know exactly how much money they lost.
A man lost $110.000 in online poker and committed suicide in India.

I disagree with that mindset. You are putting your mind in a losers mentality. Don't consider deposited money as lost money. It is merely your stake. And if you can look at it and ignore the dollar sign and just consider it how you buy into a tourney, that is the first major step in becoming a true pro player.

poker is for anyone, but you have to learn to have discipline in relation to your bankroll

About a couple of years and... i think about 50 $)

Must see as you don´t lost money, you invest, Poker is like any other profesion, now you ask yourself, how much does a carrer cost or how much start a bussisness cost? Thousnds rigth? Poker is the same..

100 it´s nothing, you want to learn poker it will cost you just the same that a carrer in a good private College.. if you concern about 100, you are seen poker like an arcade game..

I lost 7k and still hope that I will be lucky and I will definitely win)

"Poker is not for you" sounds weird to me. Why should poker (or other activities for that matter) be for some people and not for others ? As long as you have a brain, you can use it to learn and improve yourself. If you are thinking of poker as a hobby, then it's a different situation. But serious players, and there are so many of them, always work hard at it and follow the evolution of poker, studying and practicing. You'll never hear any of them say : "Maybe this is not for me"...

At the beginning there will surely be losses, so you have to start with free tournaments and improve in the game. I just lost but I'm not discouraged I'm still on the path to learning

It doesn't matter how much you can lose. You can lose a lot and still keep playing. Some day you will get lucky.

Oh boy! If you can afford to lose that kind of money, then that's cool. I am not such a gambler. Or maybe just greedy)))
Good luck in the game!

Hi. Thanks for the comment. If we consider expenditures as investments, then they really become not so sad.

Good luck at the table

Thanks for the advice.
Yes, now at PokerStars.
I study, I think, I still will not master two playgrounds.
If I disappoint, I will move on to another.
Good luck with the game!

In the case of a man from India, this is already a disease.
Hould not stoop to such a thing.
In my life I also met a man who lost an apartment.

Wow! You are clearly an optimist. Thank you for this approach. I think you are an unrealistically positive person!)
Good luck!

I am not sure how to answer this question. I know I have the skill to beat the softest games, but I also know I am a fish in harder games.

So if I don't move up, I should be able to stay on the plus side, but the second I get greedy I will lose my bankroll.

Depends how much you are willing to lose for it even winning players will go on really bad downswings but that’s what they know they signed up for playing poker

If you’ve won in the past over a large sample a 20-30 buyin downswing is likely to happen at some point if you haven’t won in the past it’s a lot harder to know if this playing bad

You need a good attitude towards studying and a lot of grit and determination to be able to get better not just starting off but always if you haven’t got that then it’s probably not for you

Such players are unlikely to count their past losses. They see their only goal as winning, and they will not stop.

I look at the losses I take in poker as tuition towards being a better player. The important part is to grow and learn from the mistakes you've made.

I would recommend dropping down in buy ins to a level you can afford to play for a long time without worrying about money as you learn the game. It takes a lot of time to get to the point where you can win money playing this difficult game, but once you get there it's incredibly rewarding and fun!!

Don't play for the money, play for the game
