damn 16900 entries. I guess it took quit some time before you reached the final table. Tournaments are taking too long for me. Nowerdays i play speed poker tables at winnerpoker. it goes very fast so you won't get bored. But the variance level is greater than on normal cash tables.

I'm not sure but my guess would be somewhere between $7500 and $8000. I've played for almost 4,5 years so that averages into ~$1650 each year or ~$135 per month. The main reason is that I did have a few big cashes in tournaments a few years back so that pushes the total quite a bit. Also I was decently successful at the NL5 tables at PartyPoker.
Anyways, I've switched from cash games, I grew tiered of them. I did play it mostly for the cash but now that I don't really need the money from poker I can afford to play the games that I actually enjoy

thx I was very wary about depositing way back, all the mad stories, so I honed my online skills for 2+ yrs at full tilt only in freerolls and applied everything I read, watched and practiced and self taught in playing them, then I went on to stars.with £10 1st dep ..took another 2+ yrs to get to where i'm at now ..but I poker coached many freeollers what I learnt as I had the time to play 10-12 freerolls daily pure madness when I look back, made many friends, and a positive result on the long run now, so yeh patience is 1 of my top 5 poker tips,. 1. discipline 2. Patience. 3. Position 4. Reads 5. Fold
Along with my Poker Warriorz doctrine based on Bruce Lee philosophy & martial arts principles when appied to poker. My fav being not 1 style but all style ..as their is no styles, master what works for you and throw away what doesn't, on the long run it's worked. gl gg

Interesting thread.
When I started plaiying, I belive it was in 2008 (too late for the golden years), I actually was a winner from the beginning. I don't know why, maybe I had a sick upswing or something, but during this, I learned the game and made a steady profit.
Not much, but a profit.
But since I had a lot of time to play, the money kept gathering up on my accounts. During this period I usually cashed out from my NETelleraccount about 1500 $ each year.
Then I kinda grew tired of poker, and started a new job, so for 1,5 years I haven't played that much.
This autumn I quit that job, and have a bit more time to play. I played a lot of limit poker, and made a steady profit of 5 - 15 $ a day. This could mean like 3000 $ a year, which is double what I made earlier. However, I doubt I can keep the interest up for that kind of game.
The last few weeks, though, I have started playing speed-poker at Ipoker. And I seem to have an edge on the lowest level. I'm not sure yet, but I keep cashing out more than I put in, and it's highly addictive, so it keeps me interested.
Would be great if one could get addicted to something that actually pays you money!! That's the perfeft plan, isn't it??
Back to the topic:
I don't know, since I have also mixed my betting-money with my pokermoney, but I would guess, during 5 years, round 5 000 $.
Much thanks to Bankrollmob, that gave me the oppurtuniy to try the game without risk. And made my learingperiod a lot cheaper with NDB:s.

First deposited two years ago 400$ - won 800$ and withdrew 500$. Lost what was left in my account (I got into three 215$ games and didn't make the bubble in any of them).
Last year deposited 100$ and lost it, son all-in-all I'm even. Even when played for money it was never about the money, just something to make it more interesting. Never thought of doing it for a living or something like that.

Okey, so who gave me a ? Are you just jealous or what? Considering how long I've played, it ain't that much. I don't really care about the , it's just the principal of handing those out when they're not justified...

Yes, as a fellow swede I have to admit that was kind of a strange tumbs-down. Either there is someone out for you in general, not for that post, but maybe because you have been scr*wing somebodys wife, or some such?
Or it was a missclick. It was supposed to be a thumbs up? We all have been there, missclicking at the pokertable, calling with 52o and folding AA, on two different tables...
