For those who started playing poker years ago, have you been able to keep a record of all your wins and losses? What does the numbers look like when comparing your wins and losses?

How much have you ended up losing since you started playing? Do you think it's enough to discourage you from playing?

Losses I try not to remember, but you can keep track of your stats on Sharkscope for most online poker sites.

My biggest loss in one game was for $2000 in a cash game, and I was only 14 when it happened. lol
Started with nothing, and worked my way up.

Losing that much can make me have a sleepless night. However, such losses will be an eye-opener to becoming a good player at the end.

How were you able to cope during that period?

Oh, I was super mad. Losing hand was JJ vs AA. All in preflop. I punched a hole in the wall afterwards.
I don't get angry like that anymore, but I also have a lot better bankroll management. It helps when you only lose a small percentage of your money, if you lose.
 
I rarely play poker for money as I don't feel confident enough to play for money a lot of the time as I have not had the greatest of luck.

The only time I have played for money was a small wager between friends and I did lose £10 during that so not a whole lot.
 
The most I've lost in one night is probably somewhere between $20 and $30 playing nickel, dime, quarter poker. I've never played high stakes because I wouldn't want to risk losing a lot.

Risk management is key when you play those kind of games. You want to be in a situation where things work out well for you and even when you end up losing in poker, you lose a smaller amount of money.
 
To keep such record can make someone sick in every sense of it. I don't keep such records because of my sanity. Honestly, the money i lost playing gambling can buy me Rolls-Royce Phantom!
 
I wish I kept better records from when I started. I've probably lost more than I've won overall... But honestly, I think of it as entertainment money like going to movies or concerts.
