I got free 50$, and I play a lot, but my bankroll is around 50$ for weeks.
I tried NL2 BSS, NL10 SSS, nothings turns profitable.
I got 50$ before to, went broke because of bad BRM, but now I am playing good BRM, I am playing well, but I can't get any profit.
Every time I go up some amount, for example- guy with flush draw and an overcard, hits that overcard on the river, and there goes my profit.
I am really in to poker, but I can't get any profit from it.

there are enough winners in this game for it to be profitable. the estimate i think is about 10% of all online players are winners. look up sharkscope leaderboards, PTR leaderboards.....people win in this game and make damn good money at it.

don't take offense to it, but you're just not good enough yet. just continue to learn, don't be results oriented, study and play.

same answer applied to the thousands that asked before you and the thousands that will ask after you. you can't expect to be top 10% in anything when you just start out.


I played a lot of freeroll's and some buy-in tournaments, but I am new to cash games, and there is a big difference in tournaments and cash game.
So I will do so, keep playing and learning, and I hope I'll get there.

There's the problem!

And yes - 10% are winning players. So if you are break even you are already doing better than 89% of the field.

I have made around $2000 in online poker but made a lot of withdrawals and changed my game type so don't really have much to show for it.


of course it can. but like the other poster says it wont happen overnight. took me a year to start being a winning player and still have much to learn.

if everyone was winning player after a number of weeks then - well nobody would be winning as the opponent would be to good

It seems that you're a new player, just like I am :)

My free bankroll is also going up and down but it's around $50 most of the time. I've been frustrated by this but talking to more experienced players I realized it's perfectly normal. In fact I should be happy that I havent lost this $50 already as lot of people do

Being good at poker takes a huge amount of patience, discipline and experience. Most people i know needed at least a year to become a winning player.

really? That would mean, that the 50 $ starting capital will be gone quite soon:/ already with -1% ROI in a 1$ you just need 5000 games to go broke... or don't you count in the bonusses yet?
oh well, doesn't actually matter, if I go on with that speed I won't make more than 1000 games in the 90 days anyway:D
