How much have you lost in total from poker?

[uptrendfinancialsignal]

Evaluating the total amount of losses is not easy, but it is vital when you are aiming for improvement. Consider:

- Session logs: Record wins/losses
- Bankroll management: Set limits
- Self-reflection: Identify mistakes

Use the above data to:

- Refine strategy
- Adjust risk
- Improve mental game

There is no reason to lie, you need to be honest. Facing your losses head-on will:

- Enhance decision-making
- Reduce financial stress
- Fuel long-term success

You need to take control, record your losses and turn your poker experience into a new game.

I've won more than I lost playing online poker, but in the past before I had discipline and good bankroll management, I lost multiple minimum deposits.

I've built my bankrolls on most sites I played from playing freerolls over the years. I've been trying to slowly level up, and get into bigger games.

I think that would be hard to know if you are net positive as you really haven't "lost" anything unless you track all games and add up the amount that you've lost. But, I don't think that would have any significance as you're still positive. You might want to consider knowing the percentage that you're up to try and improve on that though, which you can only get if you know the amount lost and gained.

But, you could know the amount that you won and the amount that you lost.

None since I only used it to forget my problems for a while. However, my uncle, who has tried it before, has more wins than losses. He is quite good at it.

Your success in building a strong bankroll reveals that you are disciplined. During my first period learning poker, I encountered several losses. These challenges are typical for the journey and it will surely get better as we garner more experience.

I don't have a record of the amount I have lost in poker, but It's common for players to analyze and review their game play to study areas needing improvement after they lose. Players are always motivated and energized by wins as well.

My God! I don't keep such record! Do you want me to go crazy! That must surely be a huge amount of money! I better don't think about it or i will quit gambling at once. I better don't think about it!

I'm probably down a few hundred dollars over the years, but I don't keep perfect records which is probably a mistake. Most of it was from when I was learning and making dumb mistakes. I try to think of it as tuition for poker school rather than losses. It stings sometimes, but I play with money I can afford to lose.
