How much did you win/lose in your first year?
In another thread, runyan99 asked the title question. I thought this would be better asked in the form of a poll.
If you use a different currency, please convert the numbers to US dollars. You may include bonuses and rakeback.

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.

There was one not too long ago about how much you lost before you reached the point where you could win at poker, and it turned out that everyone on twoplustwo has been a winning poker player since birth, except for one guy who was making 3 BB/100 in utero and one who was allowed to carry his bankroll over from a previous life.

Re: How much did you win/lose in your first year?
I lost my first party poker 50$ buy in, may of last year. I was also break even for my first few B&M sessions, going way up and then way down. after finding 2+2 in June, adequately bankrolling myself for my limit, starting from .10/.20 limit, studying, and posting, why would I ever go bust at all?
I am not done with my first year of poker yet, that happens in the beginning of May. from .10/.20 to 3/6 online and with bonuses and rakeback, I will have made about 6000 by the time it's all said and done. and all but 500 or so of that will have been from Fiscal year '05. (moved to .5/1 limit sometime in late september)

Re: How much did you win/lose in your first year?
I agree...If one starts properly bankrolled at a low limit there's no reason to go broke... it may take a little bit of luck if the bankroll is kind of thin ( or one's skills are not developed) - but it seems to me that games like the 0.25/0.50 at pokerroom and 0.50/1 at party are beatable even by mediocre players who play tight while they learn.
