| Up definately. My big screen Hi def and Laptop this year can attest to that. I pay the bills with my 9 to 5 job, and buy my toys with my poker winnings. | ||

| Up... I was lucky enough to go a short time before realizing there is more to the game than getting lucky. Lee | ||

| I'm up. But I was lucky enough to have found UPF very soon after starting to play and was able to turn my game around before my losses got bad. -Moz "The more you ignore me, the closer I get. You're wasting your time." | ||

| Only been playing since June, down real money by a small amount, I attribute it to the school of hard knocks. Not gambling real money right now, but up on the play money by a whole lot, not that it really matters. When I have a little extra to invest in the game... will go back to the real money and take a swing at it. Either way I'm a stronger more challenging opponent daily... So up on knowledge down on dollars, it will even out. | ||

| I'm up thanks to this forum, lee jones, and learning how to be patient. I started playing in June and by August was down 400 dollars. Now I'm up 1200 and I feel like I've settled into the game. Thanks guys! Jon | ||

| Up. Both online and live, with increasing confidence in my abilities to win consistently. The increased confidence is a combination of, I believe, (1) studying the game more and more and more, and (2) this forum providing positive reinforcement of the decisions and thought processes I am applying while playing. I love this game. | ||

| lifetime probably down, been playing off and on for 15 years or so but i have always had outside time constraints and have rarely had a session bankroll large enough and time enough to sit at a game for any real length of time (30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hour tops is hard to do) | ||

| Up, but just because I found UPF and started reading books. Started playing in June, winning month (just lucky....) July I lost most of my buy-in at Party playing $0.5/1 ring games (was down to 2 buy-in at the 5+1 SnG!!), but found UPF and got some books (and took some time off to digest the information). Started playing SnGs at Party and increased my leftover $12 to well beyond by buy-in. Found a small site with $10 sign-up bonus and freerolls at took that bankroll even further (never put any money into this site). So, thank you all!! -Magnus | ||

| 3 categories: Home games: Never won but never invest much, not mean enough to take advantage of people I'm friends with. Live: Not sure, either slightly up or down. Had a great consistent streak going followed by just as consistant a loosing streak before I stopped for a couple of years. Online: Documented about $100 up but I went on tilt yesterday horribly, going from finishing in the money in at least half the SNG's I entered to blowing out early 5 games in a row. Overall, I'm way up in SNG's but just as down in cash. Have abandoned cash games online within the last week and look to make a modest living with SNG's since I'm unemployed and have dedicated myself to studying and perfecting my game full time. NCD | ||

| Down a little ...but I just started and consider it an initial investment. I am working on it though. Dicipline dicipline and more dicipline. I still have to learn to play based on odds. I am getting good at reading hands though. Have faith in myself and my ability to KNOW WHEN I AM BEAT. Though when I have a good hand, I will pay to see it. SNGs might save my butt here because I am very UP with them. Mss | ||

| just a little advice on the subject of knowing when your beat. when i started playing i would laydown hands where i knew i was beat even though i had the correct odds to call. this is a major source of problems for new players i think. ive since learned a bit about pot odds and now make calls based more on math than reading my opponant. if i am wrong about my read and lose a 300 dollar pot then it will take a hell of a long time to make that up. keep that in mind when "you know you are beat" on 13.

| I am up. I'm still not an everyday player but I play in home games all the time and do play a little b&m. If I stayed out of the b&m I would be up a lot more but that is where I'm getting my practice. Every time I go looking to learn a little more. I've kept track of all my gambling over the last 2 years and am up. Brent | ||

| Up When i started out, i "invested" about $1500 into low limit B&M play before i started to have break-even sessions. Then when i started online play, i was up from my first buy-in. While i don't play very much right now (maybe a 5 hours a week), my $ per hour online has been fantasic during the last few months and my latest online check is paying for my trip to vegas. I can definately attribute my winnings to reading and rereading poker literature (books, cardplayer, and upf) Mark | ||

| Up at the B&M (actually 6 for my last 6 sessions) Back and forth, but probably down on-line. Not as much discipline, and deciding on a session length is brutal. on 12. Oct 2003 18:51 modestmice wrote: > informal poll: up or down lifetime, no dollars > | ||

| Up overall. Up a lot in B&M play, but about flat to slightly down online. Haven't yet gotten used to the big quick swings yet, but am getting there. | ||

| Up, overall, although my bankroll took quite a beating getting used to online play. I didn't realize that the games are tougher at the same limits. 15/30 in a CA B&M is waaaay looser than the same level on UB. Since I was used to playing in these loose games, I was conditioned to overvalue certain types of hands, suited A's for instance, which got me into trouble in tough online games. For a long time, I was way up at B&M & live tourneys, but I was getting pretty dismal results online. I also had trouble adjusting to the much faster pace, and also not being able to see your opponents. Now that I've played a lot online, I'm getting good results there too and am nearly out of the hole I dug myself into. Luckily, I was doing really well at B&M during the entire "getting used to online" fiasco, so it didn't really hurt too much. | ||

| I'm up. I average 32.5 hours a week playing with a 3.2 BB's and hour win rate - can't pay the mortgage yet but with the same success (hopefully) at the bigger limits - maybe just maybe. | ||
