so everyone always brags about how much money they've won from poker but I have a question, before you started making dough, how much did u initially lose? And how long till you started winning?
i struggled with really bad bankroll management in sports betting and basically lost a lot of it on that. i'm currently a couple grand in the red and need a sense of direction. maybe i should just quit? |

meh, i ran really hot when i started, and was possibly already a winning player (i was initially taught freshman year by a kid who could beat 25nl).
take out your sportsbetting losses (you probably ran bad, its super high variance - not to say you were a winner, but in the long run you will come close to break even, kind of like blackjack). how much have you lost from poker alone? |

ok well that didn't work out too well at all. played blackjack and now have 17 dollars left in my account. umm.. i haven't had pokertracker (still don't, using trial version) so its hard to say how much i've lost but i've probably lost around a grand. sports betting is another couple grand.
i know theres currently a thread "your biggest rush starting w/ not a lot of $$" where people talk about bringing 70 cents into hundreds and hundreds into thousands but how the f do people do that. with the way cards seem to be falling for me, i'd probably be sucked out faster than you finish reading this. 2 hrs ago i sit at 100nl with 20 bucks and dealt AA. go allin preflop with a caller who has KQ and flop comes KKQ. i move down to 25 max and with button have 33 and hit trips on flop. too bad theres 2 diamonds also on the board and with on caller who holds a 4 of diamonds, the turn and river are also diamonds. i know i'm no way in hell rolled but after reading people's posts from turning dollars in thousands i was inspired. |

Typically when you hold an unpaired hand (ex 89) and you flop three of a kind with a pair on the board (ex 882), that's called trips. When you start with a pp and flop three of a kind (ex holding 33 on a 38K flop), that's called a set.
