Starting with $100 free money on Party from PSO - I've made $9747.44*, though the most I ever had online at once was $2240.
Not including hundreds (maybe thousands) of dollars of PSO points i spent on stuff. This is why Small Stakes Hold'em is a book well worth $24.95.

* as of 05/01/07. It's probably a bit less right now - I'm running a little cold.

Going to live games, I have won back half my money back. In live play I dont get the beats that I got online. I know alot of online players, they say the say thing. Only meet one guy that won a large tournament for about 5k. He said that it brought him back to even. Dont put your money online. As Forrest Gump says, That all I got to say about that.

It's not rigged...I can't believe this is coming up again. What do online card rooms gain by "rigging" games? They WANT you to play so they can take the rake.

Started with $150 (over two deposits) and worked that up nicely thru Head to Head match ups. Played some bigger SNG's and MTT's but the H2H was where it's at for me.

This was the FIRST W/D I made:



Cashed out again for $2K after and closed my account there before the laws changed.

Best of luck.

Does -$300 count as a win?

I also played freeroll tournies. I didn't want to loose any money online, so I figured that if I won in those then I might play with real money. There are 2000 players and $500 in prize money. On perhaps the 6th attempt I managed to get to 22nd place and got a whooping $3 prize. Probably played about 4 hours, and had busted out before the bubble a few times earlier. Still it was very good (and cheap) practice. Once the people who go all-in on every hand are gone the game gets better and when the last 100 remained the competition was fierce (at least for a novice player like me).

Played two 1+.30 SnG's with the money, won one. Moved to the turbo 2+.20 SnG's because of the smaller rake and grinded it up to about $70. My play was sometimes very much off so I almost lost it all 3 times - even though I certainly was well bankrolled for $2 SnG's Now I play mainly $5+.50 and my roll is about $150. I did take one shot to $10+1 and won that game, but I think I have so many leaks in my mid-game that I want to do something about that before playing more.

It kind of bugged me once I was up at $100 I got €5 for free to a site that has a lot of small SnG's with low rake. And now I got $75 free for Party. So I would have got a lot more with less work if I'd shopped around a bit.

i've won -7k

I think I lost between $500-1000 before I even started being able to beat games. I think I'm probably in the black over the long haul, but only because of bonuses and a couple of decent finishes in some free UB tournaments. In cash games I'm slightly above a break-even player.
