Default How do you win your money

One thing I have been thinking about for a while is how do people win their money playing poker online.

I don't mean, how do you play, ie what cards you play etc

I mean how often do you have a winning session or a losing session. I know this is dependant on the length of the session, number of tables played etc but in general terms.

for me I think it goes something like this

out of ten sessions
1 major loss session
3 minor losing session
4 break even sessions
1 small win session
1 big win session

I still end up ahead after the ten sessions, so I am making a profit and I need the big win to get me back in the black.

is this normal?
How do others win their money?

According to PT I have 45% winning sessions, yet am still a net winner. Is this normal?

I say you're not normal [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Mine would be more like
1 Really bad session
1 Bad session
2 Break even's
4 Good sessions
2 Monster's

But, hey, maybe I'm the freak [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

i play 2 tables:

i usually end up very close to even on onesometimes a little negative sometimes alot).

i almost always make more on the 2nd then i lost on the first.

probably 3 out of 10 sessions i break about even or lose overall

1 or 2 of my winning sessions i win on both tables and make a very nice profit

I make money massively multitabling .5/1 or NL 25 and then piss it away on SNGs.

I monitor my net winnings each day and out of a week I usually have one big up day, one big down day, one breakeven / small win or loss day, 2 mediocre good days. I've never had consecutive net loss days.

I have been keeping real good records for the last 21 months and I have won 79% of the days I have played. I have the total time I have played and I usually play no limit with .50/1.00 or 1/2 blinds. My AVG. per hour Is 29.50 for the last 21 months. I usually play 6-8 tables at a time and once in a while I play 10. I usually dont bluff much I just play poker by the book but with all the morons playing poker they don't realize that I play 18-25% of my hands.
