Are YOU a winning player?
 

I decided to make a poll based on this thread:

Re: Are YOU a winning player?
 

I voted breakeven but with bonuses and rakeback I make some decent extra coin.

Re: Are YOU a winning player?
 

I am a little better than breakeven, but do OK as a bonus whore. I don't expect a lot of people will admit to being losing players.

it certainly pays for a second vacation a year...

Re: Are YOU a winning player?
 

a little biased to post such poll on 2+2 forum? lol

Re: Are YOU a winning player?
 

I'd be very curious to see the number of winners/losers on here, doubt anyone could ever get an accurate number though.

I remember there was a poster who I respected a lot in a certain forum, and eventually I learned his SN on a certain network and he was one of the biggest fish I would follow around, until that point I assumed everyone on here were winning players for some reason.

Have played several 2+2'ers I would regard as "fish". Poker is a fun game and if they want to donate a bit on the tables and enjoy reading and posting on 2+2 as well, I think it is just nice. No shame in being a losing player. It is a hobby for many and hobbies are not chosen upon how much money you can make from it.

Re: Are YOU a winning player?
 

these results are gonna be very skewed. Even though it is anonymous, some people will still not admit to losing... or will say they are "about even". But hey, it's just a game.

Where's probably?

Re: Are YOU a winning player?
 

I'm a winning player but all my profits right now go towards bankroll building and moving up. There's no option for that.

Re: Are YOU a winning player?
 

about $8500 up but I only play 1000 hands a week or so..

recently have been learning 6 max NL and am only breakeven in that (although bankroll keeps growing with bonuses etc)

have also just started playing HU matches and am well ahead in those..on Paradise they last an average 8-10 minutes so I can fit them in fast (with a full time job, 2 kids - one 3 weeks old - and moving house I haven't the luxury of 1 hr + sessions at the moment)

Re: Are YOU a winning player?
 

what is a "strong" living? I assumed over 100K a year? that about right?

What don't you get?

Re: Are YOU a winning player?
 

I win probably 1 bb/100 at 2/4 and slightly less at 3/6 (my main games) but like mose here bonus whoring and rakeback make a big difference.

I play for about an hour and a half to two hours per night and I use the money that I make mostly to buy little extras for my family and myself.

(I got lazy and stopped using PT a while ago so I don't have my exact win rate.)

Re: Are YOU a winning player?
 

after the latest rounds of pound-me-in-the-ass I've taken, I'm only a 1 BB/100 dude. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] That damn poker network 2/4 is crushing me lately. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

With bonuses, rakeback, and a few timely sports bets, I make what I consider a comfortable living. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Then again, I'm not very materialistic...a few books, some cds, vacation money, and constant contributions to me IRA is about all I need....oh yeah,

Re: Are YOU a winning player?
 

yep. i am. good side money to spend on gf or buy toys with.
