    I've searched and havent found this topic (if it exists then im one blind fook :) )Am just curious really.

    personally make about €70 per month online give or take most months. on average what would your profit / loss be?

    or is it really bad etiquette to ask?

    I doubt you will get many people admitting to being losers, and you'll also get many people lying about how much they make. You shouldnt really worry about how much you make in a month or set any $$$ related targets as variance etc can play a bit part. I'd usually make about $1000 or so. Bonuses and Rakeback or a huge help though, alot will depend on how many hands I play aswell, this month for example I'll be doing well to his $400 or so.

    yeah I'm not really expecting many replies tbh and I know variance plays a good part. i usually only play the 0.10/0.25 tables as anymore and i'd prob end up losing a fortune on a bad run :(

    I've been playing for 2/3 months, no matter how far up or down I go I always end up back at breaking even, it just makes no sense, or I'm just not good.

    I've lost my big blind more often that I've saved it, don't even start me on my small blind.

    personally speaking if i broke even every month i'd be happy as it's a hobby thats paying for itself

    I made myself look like a donkey more than once and have only lost my marbles many a night. I've been playin 3 years and say i would be down just around 6k that would have been mostly live though, but went on a heater a few weeks ago and got alot of it back.... but im still down but im learning alot more and am far more in control of myself which was a major cash leakage both online and live!!

    I've won a total of €3,500 in tournaments (€2,900 of which was a freeroll run last summer).

    I'm plus about €500 in live cash games

    Online I'd say I'm break even or maybe -~€100, as I usually just played with whatever rakeback I got.

    I only play tiny stakes, maybe someday I'll concentrate more on playing instead of donating.

    I am up but that's mainly due to always having decent bankroll management :eek: and reading a lot while reviewing hands :cool: I know when I stop caring and start playing less I should get in the minus! :D

    I lost around $800 yesterday.

    Came close to it been a lot more though. Brand new €1500 laptop in hand and heading out the upstairs window. Just about gained control. I did damage the screen all right when I threw a beer bottle top at it :o

    Up 8k € online in 2009 so far mainly playing SNG, with biggest tournament win of only 800€. I will never win a proper MTT, although I usually go deep I always find a way to blow it in the end, I probably lack gambling/aggression in the late stages of the tourneys although I am slowly improving.

    The latest book I read "Poker Mindset" has been the key in preventing me from tilting my wins away during downswings.
