I too made 15,000 my first year, I was working at a lesser-known fast food restaurant then. The next year I took a job doing payroll processing and increased my income to $24,000 a year. Hope I helped.

I think Zebra was talking about poker, Aces.

I may be wrong, but if it was poker, then your $24,000 may be a tad on the high side, taking all available evidence into consideration.

Based on all the information you have given us. I think you can safely plan on making anywhere from a $15,000 loss to a gain of 2.5 million.

There is not enough information in your post in order to come up with any kind of conclusion.

It is entirely possible that you sat down in one game of 10-10-20 NL and won a huge pot on your first hand and quit poker for the rest of the year.

More likely you played a number of hours and grinded something out at a certain hourly rate. Perhaps you got very lucky and earned more than you "should have" or perhaps the reverse is true. Perhaps you have learned more about the game and improved. Perhaps you have learned badly from getting lucky and your play will deteriorate.

The only thing I can say is find the holes in your game (which everyone has) and start to plug them.

Hi, zebra.

Sorry, mate - we're just funning with you at the moment.

What you asked in the way you have asked is impossible to answer.

However, to set a base - if you played in the same style at the same games at the same stakes at the same sites next year, you would probably break even to win or lose $5000, imo.

In other words, if you don't evolve with the game, from being a winning player, you are likely to become a break-even player in the market as it is developing. (I am assuming you have played enough hours for your first year's result not to be based entirely on sheer luck, and that you play what might be said to be a reasonable game.)

Once you start giving the guys in this, (or, rather, the correct forum for this type of poker question), forum some information about who what when why where you will start to receive far more valuable information and opinion than mine.

Welcome to the forums.

Good luck.
