    Are You A Winning Poker Player?

    You don't have to give amounts. So many people question the value of internet gaming and do we actually come out ahead. Just trying to get a feel.

    I've been doing really well in the 18 man games on full tilt. They have a good payout and pretty easy to finish in top three if you play patiently. And the games don't take too long either.

    Short answer: It is a roller coaster ride for me. I do well for awhile and start to think I'm good, then nothing works (every idiot hits his draw) and I make it worse by getting frustrated.

    You don't wanna hear the long answer.....

    I do ok online. I have won some pretty substantial MTTs in the past, but i am nowhere near quitting my day job.

    Since all this idiocy with the online gaming ban...I dont play as much as i used to. I have started to do more live games.

    I would be guessing in saying I'm about even since I first started playing for money, so in reality I'm probably behind a bit.

    I've never won any tourneys as I'm more of a sng and ring player - the most I've won in a single hand was about $130 on a $1/$2 table.

    Being a seat-of-my-pants person financially from week to week, I deposit $50 a week and generally cash out if I get about $100 up, which i have done quite a bit through playing sng's.

    I'm starting to venture in to the world of fully blown tourneys a bit more now - starting to dream of being at the WSOP in a SWS Poker shirt!
