Well I don't play slots I only play micro-low stakes tournament poker online. Sometimes if I win a ticket or satelite in to the bigger tournament I play bigger buy-ins than usual to me. I am pretty sure overall I am in a profit. Of course profit is not that big that I could quit my job, but still is nice to be in profit.

I have a profit of 7,000 dollars and a little , but in 10 years. It's poor money... but i didn't play as much as others and it's good because i didn't lose.

In the micros that i play they call ATC . if you think also how many times i have been f***ed by rng set up hands , then it is absolutely rational why i havent leveled up stakes until now . i am not saying that i am a good player , but if you couls see all the hands that fu**ed me late in the important tourneys , then i am justified . for online poker talking

Normally you remember the hands you have lost, much more than the ones you have won. And unfortunately because they are the most painful. But I'm sure I won hands that I had a very low chance of winning, and I mean less than 2%. If you look at the statistics, they don't lie and the % are even. But I agree not to level up if you don't feel good with those levels

I am in this long time too. I think that overall i am in plus but i never play seriously, maybe i have try 1 or 2 times years ago. But it didn't work out for me, micros of course everyone owned but that's it for me. Sometimes i get to nl100 and try my luck if win win if not goodbye till next time when i have money for play. It's importnat if you are not serious about to have money you can affor to loose. I mean it's importnat if you go pro too. But if you go pro you must get other approarch. At least 200 buy ins for game you play. Life roll on the side and so on ad so on.
If you've been playing for years and haven't lost much, you're in the winning minority. If you want to win a little, then find the game that suits you best! ...and learn! Winning a lot is a hard full-time job, I think.

But how many players are actual winning? I think i read the more then 90 percents are loosing players, allot of them play for fun and i guess don't care. I play for fun too, like another hoby but i care if i win or not, if i go out of micros i don't mind to say they own me. So i stay to micros, sometimes try bigger limits and sometimes casino. Poker plus for sure, but casino its just fun for me and waiting for one time, but loosing now.

Thats why we have fairytales on forum about 7000 profit in 10 years on poker and then in other threads we read whole time how software is bad, how it doesnt like him and how cant good hands and this kind of stories! Plus some poker sites are blocked and then somebody write this kind of things! Ha,ha! Then how sites would earn so much money if so many players are in profit!
