How much has poker cost you?

[hardongear]

Total deposits over 20+ years $450. Haven't deposited on my main site pokerstars in 15+ years.

Nothing. Over the years I'm ahead quite a bit for playing micro/low stakes cash and micro-Sunday Million MTT's. Use to play/grind a lot when I first started as I had a lot more free time Poker has been a good side hustle and nice, relax and fun hobby for my over the years. No regrets.

Cheers!!!

poker has cost me nothing but time. To go further, i put family and friends ahead of poker, so i dont play if it interferes with what i love. Family and Friends.
Luckily i have managed it pretty good.

[billibooo]

Thank you CC <3 and her endless bounty The PS CC freerolls carried me for a few years but the knowledge I have gained here carried me farther!

 

[OscarMartyr]

It's cost me a gf, 2 jobs. And alot of my free time. It's a easy time kill. When you got nothing to do.. oh probably a couple$$ as well. Lol

 

[GDKavindu]

0 money but weasted time if i invest that time for learning new skill.its earn more money rather than from poker

 

[Igor G]

let's know how much have you lost in poker so far.

I've been playing for about 8 years and I haven't spent more than $80. I spend no more than $10 a year on poker

 

[ninocabral]

I have never lost in poker, I have a positive balance so I have no losses, in no month that I played I was negative, every month the balance is always positive and I hope it stays that way

 

[Luka22guro]

I don’t invest money in poker, I play from free ones and then either withdraw or play on them.

 

[10gerka]

At the end of each month I always come out positive, in poker you win and lose but in the end, in the long term a good player will always win, so study and work hard on your game.

 

[Shooter74]

I try to play what I win in freerolls so as not to expose my assets

 

[R.Holynskyi]

For me, poker is entertainment that brings money. I don't invest my own money in the game. I've been playing for about 3-4 years now and I haven't spent more than $100, and I invested this money in order to be able to apply for a withdrawal in the future.

 

[ChubbySin]

0 of my own money. I lost only what I earned from free freerolls with real money. But it sure wasn't much

Very wise 😉, I would like to use my brain 🧠 as you!

 

[Dougana]

Not much, I try to play freerolls or smalls buy in because I don't have the proper bankroll.

 

[rachelle2291]

Yes there is definitely the opportunity cost of time to consider and that is sometimes hard to put a dollar value on and will vary a lot from person to person. For example for a retired person with lots of time it may be zero and a little brain exercise from poker may be a good thing. But for a young person playing poker rather than getting an education or developing a business or career the opportunity cost would be very high.

 

[Brisco777]

I play most of time freerolls, and some time small amount tournament entry.

 

[andron205]

losing should be taken as tuition fees, at first everyone plays in the red, I first lost to 1000, now I've won many times more

 

[NootNoot]

Not much, but I've got to be behind taking everything into account.

Only ever play micros but really enjoy theory. As such I've spent more on learning than I ever have winning or losing actually playing. I'm a strange one.

Books, software, online courses etc. It all adds up. I spend so much time on that I forget to play.

 

[valanddon]

Play freerolls, have not cost me dime.

 

[NSX_Amfe2nat]

lost only nervous, not money

 

[R.Melnyk77]

I lost a little, I think up to $100. On average, I withdraw $50-100 a month, but this is only thanks to our CardsChat freerolls, which allow me to play in tournaments that are profitable for me.

 

[Fushicho]

I keep a spreadsheet of game cost and any money won and I've made a profit every year. Its only small amounts about £80 a year. I'm actually down £25 in the last month, but over this year so far I'm up £200, cos I had a big win early on. (Unless you include the cost of several holidays in Las Vegas which I've only done cos I play poker, but I've done other thing while I've been there and the actual poker games have been profitable while I'm there)

 

[hamon08]

A lot of time spent on training and several thousand dollars that I spent on deposits in various poker rooms

 

[Dejana]

Nothing...I'm in +

 

[fryderyk]

Not much, just win tickets and you play the tournament for a fraction of the entry price.
