Profitable, but it has benefited me more off the tables. Helped with patience and concentration.

Benefits here because I'm not very regular. I have never deposited more than $50 per month and at least I ended the month with $150 I have been in this for more than 7 years and in my best month I withdraw $800... After starting the month with $50:D

Poker is an amazing game, I think you can have ups and downs. But in all the time that I played, raised more than 2k dollars, and never donated, all from freerolls. although there are acquaintances who lost the same amount, it all depends on luck. So, good luck to you friend and good prizes!:D

I think that through the years I have managed to maintain a balance, what I earn is what I lose, I rarely deposit more than what I earn. I think it's a good way to turn poker into a vice that can easily bankrupt me if I don't know how to control it.

Over 17 years, I am ahead in home games and online home games. In casinos, I am down, but not by much. If it weren't for the rake and dealer tips, I would be ahead.
My poker money is simply for fun and entertainment. If I had to make a living from poker I would be living on the street and eating from trash bins.

I have been on the waterline for years with ups and downs, so if I draw the line I have not won or lost money ... pleasure matters so far, I hope the money will eventually come on +

Hi all
I would say that the game brings me more pleasure, but also a little profit.

If you look at my profits in poker in general, then I stayed with my money. I've won over $20,000 in tournaments, but lost a lot in cash games. Now I only play tournaments.

I don't play any big money games, usually under $2. I am invested for $20 and have over $180 in my account. Lots of freeroll and very picky about what games I play. I think that helped me.

poker brings not only economic benefits, but social interaction, meeting new people and developing business skills ;)

For me, poker is a hobby, so my hobby is a pleasure for me in the first place. In addition, thanks to our daily freerolls, I can easily replenish and increase my bankroll.

In forty-five years of playing, I'd say the benefits have definitely outweighed the hardships. Of which there have been many.

I am profitable overall, but make less than minimumwage playing poker so I must be playing mainly for fun.

I won a little during the whole game, but I definitely play a little plus.
