My swing seems to be about is about 500 bucks .. It may not seem like much but losing 500 to me is depressing.

I have been playing poker for 10 years now. For the first 3-4 years, I spent about $ 200 on the game. But last 3-4 years, I get regular income, about 300-400 dollars a month.

Hi.
For all time, I spent no more than $ 500. But the fun of the game, I got a lot more. :D
Good luck.

Hello, for all the time I have lost somewhere $ 100, it seems to me that many pokerstars bots, and that it does not comment, so the loss. Who wins here continually, then?

$500 is one day of work for me. That said I sure as shit cant justify losing $500 when I have 3 kids and a mortgage. Kids need their teeth fixed, house needs a new roof etc. I have a little over $50 between 2 poker sites. When I lose $5.00 i get depressed hahah. I micro dose poker and it satisfies my need to gamble.

I think I might swing a buyin or so at the cash tables, after that I usually shut it down.

I have been playing for 15 years. In general I play only my earnings for a few years. I made myself a special poker bankroll.

My worst downswing was about $5k in a month. Stopped playing after that to read up, do stuff that made me happy, and when my state of mind was back, i came back to the poker scene again ^^

it's been less than 1 years that I took over poker. counting all the banckrolls I lost. I must be at least $ 250. the only good thing is that I never made a deposit and I continue to improve my game.

Playing SnG at one time there was a $40.00 swing with bad variance. Was a pretty brutal run of what ever could go wrong, did.

Maybe $20-$50 a month. If I win I can usually make it stretch out a long time!!

why ???

It all depends on your level of bankroll and your financial situation, financial condition. If this is significant for you, it may be worth lowering the level of bai-ins and inputs to the game. It is very unpleasant for everyone and will depress any normal player. Maybe we should wait a little, take a pause in the game, a long break. Do self-study, watch videos and streams, read the necessary useful literature. And over time, everything will fall into place and you will start making little money. I wish you good luck !!! Try to find the reason why it became possible. Why did you begin to descend. What is the reason for such indicators ??:confused::confused::confused:

Hello,
I lost $ 1500 for all the time of the poker game and so far I can not win back them. And I don't know if I can play them at all.
