Hey. Good question. But I don’t know the answer to it because for now I’m only win. But I think somewhere if I lose $ 50 at a time, I’ll understand that poker is not for me :) :)

how much does a businessman need to lose to understand that normal income is normal and not the wealth over others? its not about how much money you need to lose even. if you lost repeatedly such sum, it is a sign of failed learning curve.

I have been playing online poker for a very long time and once even I lost my first car to poker, then for a long time I was in shock and did not want to play poker anymore, I was in a terrible state. But years later, I return to poker again and again, because this is the most interesting game for me. I haven’t lost large sums for all 10 years that I have been playing poker, that case was a good lesson for me. I can advise all lovers and beginners - play on bankroll management and stop playing when you're out of luck! Wait a couple of days, then everything will change!


how well has poker been to you? does it sustain your lifestyle now? pure poker playing no coaching blog or whatsoever if you dont mind me asking..

You must understand that at the beginning of your poker way, you must study

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

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

This makes me worried to ask how much you've lost!

Hopefully not more than you can afford to, that's the crux of the matter.

I would probably say that (as long as one doesn't have a problem) having lost money doesn't necessarily mean 'poker isn't for you'.

It might mean that one needs to play lower stakes (or freerolls) for a while and work on one's game.

It definitely means one must pay careful attention to how much has been/is lost and ensure that it is dispensable/manageable.

Hope this helps as a reference point!

Poker is not always about profit for everyone, for some, it's about entertainment.

People often pay for entertainment... :wink:

this is a game and the loss of money is inevitable, for some people poker is not the main source of income — they don’t care about the loss of money — the process is important! It’s the same as asking — how much do you need to win to stop playing !?

I dont know how much money you need lose. Depends ! First, i think that is necessary you stud and learns more and more. And if you have studied and still lose money, is the moment that you need think if poker is not to you.

Poker can be enjoyable for those who lose. The question is how much you spend on it and how much you can easily play. Of course, winning is the best, but if you don’t step out of your comfort zone, you can still feel good. :)

Hey. Thanks for the advice. I will definitely do so. Good luck!

Thanks. I am too of the opinion that life is one, and there is no need to deny yourself something good.:dancing2:

I'm losing a little bit. I win too. I can distinguish bluffs. This often helps to win)) :rolleyes:

I hope your wife does not read your post. I would be offended by my husband, but I would laugh

P. S. I played with you at table at pokerstars)) Do you play freerolls?

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 agree on this one! :)

At one point of my career, I was running 150 buy-ins under EV, but I am surely happy I did not quit then.

So the most important realization here might be not how much you need to lose, but how well do you understand variance?

If you know what to expect and keep working on your game, you will be fine!

I think that even if you lose much, you can win big anyway. With that I mean, that even the most unlucky player can win a tournament . There is no good starting hands in poker , there is just good flops.

hi.this is a stupid question, if it concerns me specifically.I believe that you can learn everything, you just need time and perseverance.so giving up poker should not be measured by money, but by a person's ability.)

For average, one need to break even in 5 games, otherwise poker is not for u.

Don't hope to win by luck.

Ahah, I haven't lost my poker money yet, but if that's the case then I'd probably need to lose $ 1,000 to understand that it's time to end poker and go to ballet

Of all the points in my post, you respond to the one-liner at the beginning?

That was light hearted and, whilst sincere, in jest.

Interesting.

May I ask, was there a particular answer you were looking or hoping for? A precise number? Or something that confirms your opinion?

Also, you know that you can quote multiple posts in one reply, right?

Click 'multi quote' on all of the posts you want to respond to, then click 'quote & reply' on the final post you wish to quote...

You will be taken to a reply page with all the posts in separate quote coding.

Quoting ten plus posts, all individually, one after the other is... How can I put it..?

Inefficient..? Labour intensive..? For the birds..? :eek:

Delete as necessary. :wink:

Thanks to everyone for the advices. Thanks yours answers, I realized that without losing there is no gain.
On tips, I am now watching lessons and playing freerolls.
I began to play for the sake of the game, not money.
And I took advantage of multi-quote:adore:

That amount of money you can lose is depending of the stakes you play and how fast you learn the game
