how much do you make / lose from poker?

gorrrr72

Playing online around 4 years and live about 3 & a half.

Currently experimenting with turbo $10 sng's with an overall profit of $1100 in about 400 games.
Also play $10 rebuy or $10 freezout around 10 times a week. The sng profit pays for this. Biggest cash online was $3250 which I used to play in IO but didn't cash. Also qualified and played in IWF but didn't cash.
Overall live I'm about even, taking into consideration minus €3500 for the IO ticket.
Online profit 5k in around 10 months. Before that, down around 100 per month in over 3 years.
Was playing 1/2NL 9 or 10 handed 3 tables at a time on Full Tilt, Betfair and PPP built up an 8k BR and cashed 3400 out. Started a wicked downswing and lost 75% of it so lost confidence, stopped playing online cash. Back to $10 sng's and small stakes tournies and sats.



P.S. sorry about the rambling post. Tired, going to bed.

first 3 years online altogether, around 12k downswing....
grinding away now

im up over 4k this year from $5-$20 sng's and I missed a month. I do play a sick amount of games though

I was about to give up on poker until I discovered proper bankroll managment(you tube- Chris Ferguson). I got $10 free for opening a VC account, I added $40 to the account and started playing $1 SNGs, I have gotten this up to $1100 since I started the 'experiment' in Dec, and I'm now playing €22 SNGs and MTTs. I have never withdrawn or re loaded.

I can't stress how brilliant proper bankroll managment is and it really has made me a better poker player. There have been times where I have had to move down, but I have never had any fear of going broke which has really helped my game. I'm now at the point of possibly withdrawing small ammounts per week although I'm not in any rush.

Should be easy enough. A nice ROI of 25% would mean staking 16000. Avg stake excluding reg. is $10 so you only need to play 18 or so games every day over 90 days.

I'd still like to see the graph though. What site is it?

CL7

Up about $800 overall. Built up my br playing sit and go's and a tourney here and there. Started $10nl 6 max a few months ago and I'm up $187 from that. At Uni at the moment so hope to be up a lot more at the end of the summer.

down 4k this year but haven't been playing much, maybe 100 hours.

i think if i really put the work in i can push my loserate to about 60 euro an hour.

wish me luck!

(still up a few quid over the last few years but thats all spent now on girls with relatively big arses)

hehehe, even dougee... people actually think i'm good now?

how much would you consider a large sample?
can honestly say my roi isn't that high but it is around the 20 mark, and 28% in my last 750 games on stars which is pretty decent imo... and would have been higher if it wasnt for the 6man games

I will post graphs if really wanted, spread out over 3 sites i think

thenutpeddler

Up a substantial amount from playing live.

Down about 2k online last year.

If I had a breathalyzer on my laptop I'd be up about 6k

In the last 4 years I have a ROI of 32% in live tournies, but an ROI of -1% in live cash. Online, who knows. I don't play enough to keep records so don't really care. Not much either way I'd imagine though.

that made me lol!!!!

surely its a hell of a lot easier to keep track online... sorry, i "lol" at weird things i guess

5starpool

I rarely play online so don't bother trying to track across multiple sites. I'd say I play at least 10x more live than online.

destroyer

Playing 4 years, Live about once a week (mostly tournaments, a little cash) Up almost 14k.

On-line down about 500, despite winning 2 donkaments with fields of 1800 to 2000, (about 4k total) , am a donkey on line, especially cash games.

According to sharksope I'm down 50 dolla after 1009 games. It also says I have an ROI of 2%, however that works out ... Anyway, a mate used my account in the gaf a couple of times recently and lost about 200 euro, which he reimbursed me for. Also, I got about 200 dollas of reload bonuses so ... up about 350-400 dollas I reckon. Not bad for 4 years work.
