I've been keeping detailed records since Sept 04 and started with $40 playing 1/2 fixed limit.  Over that period I have been a long term winning player and built up a decent bankroll.  However in terms of returns for the amount of time put in it doesn't add up to very much.  My PokerTracker stats average 1.3 BB/100 over 49k hands (covering the last year) which at 5/10 limit works out at around $8/hr according to PokerTracker. 

Over the last 3 months I started playing $100 NL and was doing great for the first 5k hands (up around $800) but the wheels came off and I was quickly back to break even.  The problem for me was not that I was losing but that I was unable to maintain any decent winning level.  The ups were cancelled out by the downs and I was left with a small profit but not enough return to justify the amount of time I was spending playing poker.

After having the usual downswing after a cashout, I got fed up and decided to cash out a good portion of my bankroll and treat myself to a new stonkingly quick PC.  My intention was to start again with a modest bankroll at a lower limit (fixed, having abandoned NL) and try to build it up again.  Unfortunately for me on my first session back after a break from Poker I managed to lose half my remaining bankroll in one session at 2/4 (my biggest ever session loss in terms of BB).  Since then I have dropped down limits but have had 2 more losing sessions and am in danger of losing it all.  Serves me right for cashing out !!

I'm sure there are people making money out of Poker but only the very best can make a decent living at it.  For me I am going to play more MTT's and try to enjoy the game rather than treat it a money making exercise.

How come there is no "eeking out a living putting in 80+ hours a week which feels better than working" option ?

That would have got my vote  Grin

I voted as one of the 8. I don't make that consistently because its tourneys I win at, so its quite sporadic. Also I am considerably down in cash cames, due to several drunken high stakes games and I'm rubbish at cash games at the best of times, it would be more if it wasn't for these donk offs.

so are you saying overall taking into consideration the swings and your donking off in cash games your at least £52,000 up overall on the year?
