High five figures.

Started in august 2005. I've made about 25K in 2006, and maybe 2K more from the last few months of 2005 when I sucked.

Just under 100k.

I don't know exactly, but somewhere around $150k

Up around 4k...

Started No limit around Jan or Feb? Up maybe 15-17k from SnGs. Yay!

20-30k somewhere, played a little over two years (more or less serious, 25k is probably from this year alone)

ilikeaces should reply here plz

About $1800 from playing (since Feb), and another $1200 from bonuses.

I am way too willing to donate my stack

I'm up around $6k since March.. Lots of people started around the same time as me it seems.

Up 15K. Started a year ago.

up $2kish since march

+ $2.3K in about 3 and half months.

That is very surprising to me...I'd figure you had made more since you are playing higher stakes, 6-max(which apparently is gold), and better than me.

As for my answer...Just under 100k.

1) 500 BB downswing at 30/60 and 15/30 at end of last year

+

2) lack of hands first 6 months of this year

+

3) 4 consecutive losing weeks in august

+

4) Switching to NL, causing me to slum it a little, including 21 buyin downswing at 200 NL last weekend (which i was over 100k before that happened)

+

Most importantly:
5) I'm still in school, I graduate in December, unlike you where its been over a year. 16 hours in spring, 6 in summer, and 18 in this fall, really disables my ability to focus remain a constant schedule, and play my share of hands.

I've got no excuses, most of the past 2 months have been bad play and some variance. If you add up my June and July (where I had no school, for the most part), they equate to 1/2 of my yearly income. Also, I've sacrificed making money this year for the most part for the intent of increasing my skill level. Such as, I can kill the 100 NL tablings 6-8 tabling more than I can beat the 200 NL games at this time. But really, that doesn't do me any good and I have the BR so I might as well stick it out until I eventually crush the 200 NL games. I can't have this attitude once I graduate as then I will be forced to make as much as possible with little risk. Which means not moving up limits as fast as I could be.

Up a little over a 1/3rd of a Mill.

I've cashed out close to 10k (including casino whorings). 2-3 months ago cashed down to $1000. Started playing better poker. Since built that up to little over $3000.

Up about $5.5k in 18 months.

2 years.

just broke 100k a week or so ago

I am up about $6.50 from No Limit Ring (yes that's six dollars and fifty cents). I am up about $6k from Limit ring. I am up about $1.5k from NL tourneys. Total of around +$7.5k.

Am I the only MO down, give me my money back!!LOL

you aren't mrhappy, but you are the only non winner with a good enough attitude to post it knowing you have work to do

Gabe is right, the posters in this thread are a self-selected sample, so there's a strong bias towards people in the black.

Also, remember that not everyone took an initial $50 or so and started winning. I lost over $400 before I started winning, and I have an acquaintance who was down $1500 before he started winning. Now overall he's in the black. I'm sure it's a pretty common occurance to lose a decent initial investment before winning. My point is don't get discouraged.

36k since june of last year.

Cashed out a whole 12k roll to make uni free and have a current br of 24k.

Im also one of the rare few that actually admits to losing money when i first started -$300.

Yeah I definitely dropped over 500$ before I started building my BR. I think I've made about 24K since I started less than a year ago but hard to say since I live off my roll and make regular cashouts to uhh...eat and stuff.
My working bankroll has been hovering between 9-13K.
I also just permanently moved up to 400 NL 6-Max. So far so good.

I also have to add that i dropped about 300$ before i started winning.

I was only down $30 at worst while I learned but I did drop down to +$7 at one point after a good start.

I estimate $400 down before bringing it back. Had to start over at $10 and work my way up.

I have started out on a downturn each time I move up. Then I get rolling.

+15k since jan 1. cashed out 7k so far. bought 2 computers, car payments, rent, 3 monitors. 1 vacation. 2 sets of rollerblades.

just hit +13k

Okay. Just so you know I hate you all.

Very, very much.

According to PT my career total is now -$499.

It was -$500 this morning, but because I'm up $4 from 400 hands of $0.50/$1 on Party I have dipped back under (over?) the -$500 mark.

Because I'm a bonus and rakeback whore my BR is is about $1000 (from $0 deposit). I've cashed out $300 once... so over all I'm +$1300 or so lifetime...

I was down 2k before doing it right... Through small deposits...

I lost my initial deposit of 200NOK(=~30$ lol) somewhere in the autumn of 2005. Redeposited during christmas, and this is where I consider my poker career to have started. That was the time when I really started focusing.

Still, it took me five months to realize that I'm not really cut out for SnG's, as I struggled to break even in the $5.50's (!). So in late april/early may I decided to take a month just playing cash games and whoring bonuses, and started out at 10NL with a bankroll of 250$. That switch has been the best thing to happen to my poker career, from then on I'm up ~10k in poker including bonuses and a 2k stars milestone hand win that I've cashed out.

Also started casino whoring in the end of may, I've now got a ~4k casino roll after cashing out 5.5k.

I'm gonna take this chance to say a big "THANK YOU FTR"!

Don't let him fool you... We really don't like black people. If anything there is a strong bias against them. Even the pseudo-blacks like Boost can't escape this reality.

about 200k
been playing for less than 2 years

Because it made you post so that we can stare at your avatar.

gg, MODERATOR.

Up $200 and have been playing for 6 months. Wow I'm such a high roller. Vegas here I come!!

P.S. Some impressive returns!

Since I started playing seriously about 1 1/2 months ago, I'm up $350.

started playing Jan 1 2006, played $5.50 sng's on stars with a $70 bankroll...January + February were losing months, in March i started playing $25nl FR cash games, by May 1 i turned $150 into $1500, cashed out my roll...May 3rd to now, i have made about $12k and im playing $200nl with a $8000 roll.

I'm up ~30k

I'm the bad pro player...

I was doing good in ring till I went to SnG/MTTs for like 6 months figured I made far more in ring, so moved back... and found out that I SUCK at ring now...

Heh, ask again in 6 months and I expect to have my ring game fixed, and be back to making good money.

one of these statements is true:
1. I have made about 200k playing poker.
2. I like to take bearcats' mom from behind while I eat a can of creamed corn.

idk, i think possessed is pretty funny

Wouldn't he be named MODERATOR$ or something?

nope

possessed is the only banned member who has made more than 200k

I dunno 30-40k since June last year

In that case a new question comes up;

one of these statements is true:
1. I have made about 200k playing poker.
2. I like to take bearcats' mom from behind while I eat a can of creamed corn.

What's wrong with creamed corn?

around 300k in just over a year and a half?

ps. This time i'm not pretending to be a degenerate who is down 6 figures...

up 3k since june playing lots of 5$ sit and goes, some 10$ and more rencently 20$.

It took me 3 50$ buyins to get on track....and a book or two

Alex are you from Mtl?

i also thought PO$$E$$ED was funny. i actually wish he was around again.

im pretty sure he requested he be banned, so what would be the problem if he talked to xianti and just was reinstated instead of making gay troll accounts.

Rofl, we are taking over FTR. Mwahhahahaha.

Ok, thread hijack over.

Actually, i just realized that this was also very possibly DoGGz. But im leaning toward possessed.

Just an update...
I didn't like the SNG's, too much time to invest.
But I did start playing .05/.10NL at poker stars.
I turned my $100 into $215 so far.
Thanks to FTR members and / Aokronology / Lukie/ Renton. Reading these posts and listeneing to feed back.

Now I'm only down, $785
I plan to keep at the .05/.10 for a little while more, hopefully if I can get my BR up some more.
