Does anyone use any type of program to keep track of their online winnings? When I get involved live I just record how much I put in and cashed out, but it's nice knowing where I stand.

Also, if you do keep track, what's the most you've won/lost in a month? In October 05 I made my greatest wins by far, and I cashed out $2.1k. July 05 I lost $800, some $600 online and the rest in the casinos. For 2005 I ended up making $6k from all forms of poker and gambling, so I'm trying to strategize my play and increase earnings for this year.

As far as Online, I just look at my Neteller history for record purposes. Last year I made enough to pay for my Dell laptop. Must be nice to play with some semi-serious cash.

I have a microsoft excel spread sheet that keeps track of my winnings. I also like to put on there the stats for my time playing. Most site I play at have a little option that gives you all of your stats like hands, how many times you bet, folded, called, etc. I started doing this acouple months ago and I can see what the stats look like when I'm running good and when I'm running bad. Its actually quite insersting to see the pattenerns.

That's the kind of thing I was talking about. Did you just make the spreadsheet yourself?

I don't use anything to keep track of my earning and losses, but I would recommend Microsoft Excell. It's realitively easy to use and there are plenty of helpful tutorials on the internet.

I have an XL spreadsheet attached. Check it out.
PM me your email address and I will send it.
Let me know if it is useful.

I use Microsoft Excel too. I don't go as in depth as others who keep track of their stats and everything. I just use it to keep track of wins and losses because I have so many different Poker Sites downloaded on my computer that it's hard to keep track of otherwise.

And yes, it is easy to use

For MTTs, I've found it worthwhile to keep track of a couple of things beyond just the amounts I've won.
- ROI for buyins (requires tracking tournaments entered, cost for each one)
- win rate per hour for freerolls (win rate per hour per tournament would be better in order to account for multi-tabling, but would involve keeping more detailed records than I'm willing to do).

I know other people track the percentage they finish in the money. I haven't gotten around to trying it yet, so don't know if it's worth doing or not.

I always end up losing to maniacs therefore I have came up with the solution of not even playing with my real money it's ridiculous but $200 in 5 days says there is something wrong in fact abosulutely wrong with the way I play and it started to lead me to believe that online poker is rigged unless I deposit like over $1,000 or something of that nature. I need to find a solution cause just playing the nuts never wins if I have the nuts they all fold or if I get the nuts on the flop they call to the river and win or if I fold the rags they turn out to be the nuts and a big pot with people calling with one pair. I'am going to study hard I mean real hard on how to overcome this online poker boom.

Thanks Iceberg, I just opened and saved it. I made a few modifications, but the core spreadsheet you sent me was really helpful. Thanks again.
