Re: How much did you win/lose in your first year?

So far EVERYBODY in the poll won, except me.
I'm suspicious.
Pretty much every big-time poker player will admit to going broke several time during his or her lifetime, especially when they started playing. I don't see how that is consistent with everybody else in the poll here making money from the get-go.
But hey, maybe I'm the worst player here. It's possible.

I think we may be underestimating the positive effect of reading this forum. Starting at the micros, only moving up when a player has sufficient bankroll and studying the available literature is drummed into any regular 2+2er. Taking even partial notice of this advice almost guarantees a modest positive return, at worst. Let's face it, 0.5/1 is pretty poor.
I would imagine that the majority of first year losers have simply played above their true level. I occasionally read posts from newbies who appear pretty clueless, yet are playing 3/6 or 5/10. If they played micros, they would probably be winners over their first year.
