Hello. I'm very curious how many of you guys made a profit from online poker so far, doesn't matter how much. Most people brag about their winnings but you rarely hear them say when they lose. Be honest please, haha. I'm mostly curious hearing from people who play for a few years now. Thanks

I have won around 10.000$ from poker. As for tournaments you can check out my results on Sharkscope. I have played on PokerStars and 888 Poker under the name "fundiver199" and on 888 Poker under the name "fundiver198". The reason for the two different accounts on 888 Poker is, that I moved from one regulated market to another. 888 Poker therefore closed my old account and asked me to open another. PokerStars instead transferred my account to a new license. As for cash games I am up somewhere between 1.000 and 1.500$. I have largely moved to tournaments, so I dont really keep track of my cash game results any more.

Since I have never made a deposit to a poker site, I can proudly say I have won more than I have lost
Freerolls are awesome

if you don't draw when you win. you lose everything

Stonks

I played poker for a couple of years from 2009-2011 and won about $700 in net profit from cash games and SNGs. I started playing poker again in December 2019 and since then I've made another $700 in net profit from freerolls and SNGs. So altogether, I'm up about $1400 after three years of poker in total.

I'm sure I've lost quite a bit overtime, but as far as online goes - from the past 2 years I am profitable.

I'm up about €250, but that's only because I've only been playing for a few months and those are my winnings from sign up promotions and freerolls. If I had to actually pay buy ins to the tournaments I play I think I'd be about breakeven

Thanks for the reply.
Wow, you did a hell of a job sir, congrats. Interesting that you play mostly tournaments. Can I ask what is the reason you don't play cash games?

I have pulled a profit the last 4 years. Before that I am not sure but I would bet that I was a losing player in those years prior.

Reason I say that is once I really started to keep track, I have put a much more focused approach to get better and understand when and why I was losing. I also started really looking at hands I lost, especially what I though were bad beats a nd learned that I was 1 - not nearly as far ahead as I thought and 2 - playing in a way that encouraged my opponents to draw out to beat me.

Well done. This is my plan too. I play for fun and I like cardschat freerolls. I won't be making a deposit anytime soon

+1 lol I'm using up my freeroll options if I can get them too

Shame that I'm limited so much because I live in the USA (most sites I can't play for real money right now because of weird laws that vary from state to state), but it looks like the light is at the end of the tunnel because more states in the USA are beginning to legalize online poker and gambling again. I might be in the CardsChat freerolls even more if I get more freerolls available to me.

Yes, by all means go at your own pace or bankroll management - even if that means never depositing lol. I've been playing poker freerolls for a little less than one year now and I've never felt a "need" or real desire to deposit. I just keep learning what I can and maybe one day I might play for real money, but I would have to hone my poker skills first

Lol

Hoping this thread doesn’t end quick

This is the House That Was Built On My Freeroll Winnings. So much talk of super duper way better than other shitty freerolls that aren’t as super duper as CC FREEROLLS here

I liked the one guy who said he was successful (10k!!), then goes vaguely on about being forced to change accounts and how he was “transferred” by Stars but now for some reason doesn’t track cash game results.

I know why I stopped tracking certain game results when I was a beginner and it wasn’t because I ran out of pens to write with.

If you got winners at the poker table.....you have players who don’t win in much higher numbers. I’m curious to see if each and every one here wins more than they lose

Over what period of time. Have you played for years or weeks to get $10K...

I tend to bank around $40 - $60 a month playing freeroll.

That's a nice amount, congrats. You have fun and win some money. Win win in my book. Best of luck in the future too

Well I can but since I am basically a freeroll player that really isn't setting the bar that high to just win more than you lose.

Couldn't tell you how much I'm up live/online individually or collectively but have a vague idea.

For a long time I've always had to withdraw the majority of my winnings to survive but recent wins have been super helpful building the BR up, long may it continue!


Definitely won a great deal more than staked.


Looking forward to having a computer & tracker so I can record and have black & white data but if you build your BR from freerolls it's all financial profit.

i can. but it takes a lot of patience not playing medium hands out of position

I really dont know. I play poker for 6 years, and in the begin i lost a lot, but for last 2 years i am profitable.

I have never deposited any money into any account ( poker stars )
or (888 poker ) and have money in both accounts, thanks to freerolls
from cardschat.

For myself I loss more than I win so I play free rolls, make a bit of money. With that money gain experience and bring my 888 poker level up to give me better pay outs and gain more experience with better players.

I'm up a few $$$,,,,i rarely deposit (don't have to because of CC) and make withdrawls when my account reaches a certain amount.Took out $250 last week from Stars A $150 from Party 2 weeks ago,,,

If you didn’t throw up and deposit, then you are always in the black, and I am that way.

Hi, at the end of 2 years of the game I'm playing in the black.

Withdrew $500 in October and since it was a bitcoin withdrawal, it is worth over $1500 today since I left it in my bitcoin account.

Considering the fact that I made deposits no more than 5 dollars and with pokerstars the minimum withdrawal is 50 dollars and I have withdrawn several times, then I can confidently say that I am in the black, albeit a little

Me, but the difference is too small)

i paid in a year ago and will never pay in when the bankroll is empty. so for now i am still in the profit zone.

The site "sharkscope" told me that I am a profitable player)))

I started playing real money in 2007. Made many deposits the first two years. After a nice score on PokerStars in 2008, I bought a couple of books from their bookstore. The transition to a consistent winner started then. When Black Friday came, I was ahead of the game. Went to Carbon Poker and for three years in a row I finished in the top 5 in micro tournaments. I tracked myself on OfficialPokerRankings.com. Have always played as goodsaint. Well ahead despite cash game losses. Since I’ve kept most of my emails, one day I’ll add up the deposits and cash outs and see exactly where I stand.

Just found net deposit page in cashier with net withdrawals etc too. LOL.

I'm well up.

I can't say over my entire playing time, but I have been keeping track for the last 5 years and can surely say that I am making a profit.

I lost a lot more than I earned, but firstly I lost a small amount, and secondly I consider this my payment for self-learning to play poker!

I definitely lost more money than won, but thanks good I play games no higher than 1 USD so in last 2 years I lost maybe aobut 40 USD. Never had fun playing for big money, just putting a little bit to make the game more serious. I am enjoying poker without making big money. But I have a feeling... that... maybe... one ... day....
we will see.

I am one of those who lost more than they won.but even that small part of the winnings brings much more pleasure

No way . Maybe if win wsop ha

I lose more than I win, because I play or hobby, as I work a lot (social assistant) and when I play with bigger buy ins I have a little more difficulty, patience wears out quickly, no matter how hard I try to play good hands I see my opponents distancing and this makes it very difficult to concentrate...

No way you can t win more then you lose in poker. Only if you win a huge monet from a tournament.

In the past two/three years I have won more money, a few hundred euros, than I have lost.
This is due to the many freerolls (thanks Cardschat) and good bankroll management.
However, when you convert the winning money into an hourly wage, it is of course very little.

I do find that experience and patience in poker helps you win more prizes in tournaments.

You have never lost money in poker, I started with freerolls, also from the beginning I used a strict BR control.

I have been playing since 2009 and there are statistics of my game.I will not say that I win a lot of money and am a super professional player.I play to raise the mood in everyday life.On the Sharscope website, not long ago I discovered that playing 5000 tournaments I remained in the black.here is the result.and there is something to strive for!

i think if i averaged out from when i very first starting it would be very close but i think i would be ahead and up in the long run. the times that i've ran really well and been able to stay up and cash out slightly outweigh the amount of times that i've ran really bad and dumped to people.

According to some messages I see that a lot of people lost more than won. Is anybody here who won more than lost??? Say the truth please )))

I can actually say that I have made money playing poker. It took a few years because online can be so difficult to make money with but I finally got there.

I do, not too much, but I'm still positive.

Lifetime def lost more then won however, its all experience to me and although I don't follow strict bankroll management I am getting more comfortable playing higher stakes.

My outlook on it is this, I am not here to become a professional and im not here to grind small stakes for ever if i cant jag a few wins playing on just Sundays throughout out the year then I'm happy

I'm pretty much a recreational player, and have only played free games online, never paid into any account or cashed anything.

In brick and mortar casinos I have mixed results. 2 daily tournaments, and I made it into the money both times (3rd at Caesar's Palace and 5th at Harrah's Cherokee). In cash games - I won about $600 at the Beau Rivage a few years ago, lost about $300 at Graton once, won about $30 another time, lost about $50 at Little Kings and Queens in GA, and won about $400 at Cherokee.

I mostly play free rolls at local restaurants/bars in the Atlanta area, and have won 5 of those tournaments in the last year (winning $100 each time).

It's really interesting to read how others have fared - thanks for sharing!

I definitely don't make money from playing poker. I'm just a gambling addict lol

Since I came back to play poker start I have lost around $ 100 and still have not won anything just free tournaments and some bubbles I have lost incredible hands

I have won more than lost if you only count the last 3 weeks. I have to have my electric turned back on before I can play cash games again.
