I thought it would be interesting to find out how much people made/lost in the last year. If other people will do it as well I would be happy to publish my results here, what does everyone think? if there is enough interest it will put my results here first!

I'd be interested in this, I only recently started to keep records
and got pokertracker, the news was not what I was expecting
although I now know what game and which level I should be playing

would say ive been playin 5 - 6 months on line so would say overall probably 2 - 300 down but jus as im starting out and learning the game dont think its 2 bad. Had best results ive had the other which was a 10 pound multi with 83 in and came 3rd which paid 99. Last 2 month or so i have seen lot of improvement in game which has been down 2 lot or reading and reasearching on places like here . Starting to come 1 and 2nd regular in single low end tournes now and would say now starting 2 turn bit of a profit and reward for my hard work and hours of play.

how does one quantify the wonderful friends I have made and the enjoyable times I have had? would you ask a golfer the same question? if you think mine is the answer of a loser, well so be it.

Started keeping online records in June i think my records show im approaching the 4k mark in profits online, $3889 to be precise which i am quite proud of. It is proving a very good 2nd income, i must admit to being a cash game specialist now and playing just about every spare moment i get.

Ok I sense some reluctance from a few people so I will give my top line records without giving full details.
Overall since Jan this year I have made $11,900.
Most profit comes from playing live at Notts
I have lost money playing online MTTs and limit hold'em
I have made a small profit from online SNGs
I have found it very useful exercise doing this because it has made me realise I do play differently live than online and am now currently rectifying my game. Oh and by the way I record my play using pokercharts.com which is easy because I am useless at spreadsheets!
It would be nice to hear some ballpark figures from some of the pros and big winners out there

fight, fight ,fight ...... BUNDLE.
exactly why I dislike this question when applied to what is essentially a game. I repeat would you ask a golfer the same question??

No probs. I understand some people don't like answering these sorts of questions, its just quite interesting to hear how other people have done. However I think real respect will go to anyone who admits to a loss, because I don't know any losing players, does anyone else!

Your right Davey, i am going to remove my post as some members who post on here dont quite understand what Blonde is about.
Funny though Paul i was under the impression you were down a lot this year before Luton....
OK James , deleted my post as well. Online I was down $4000 since January, but things have picked up a little (not much i will admit, but at least they are heading in the right direction). Offline was up quite a bit BEFORE UK Open. |

Sorry guys don't want to spoil your fun, both of you are good mates of mine. Right? but I do wish people would accept poker as a bona fide pastime that is enjoyable and fun. For sure some will earn out of their pasttime but most will spend a little in providing their lesiure activity. If it were golf which as a pastime costs thousands a year to partake in nobody would bat an eyelid.
four years ago I made more from poker than my civil service job, three years ago I spent as much on my hobby as a serious modeller or golfer or motorist since then I have needed this hobby to pay my bills. I in hindsight would have it no other way however it aint been easy as M3Boy my accountant and Royal Flush as my confidant can testify!
