Back in August my older brother bought me a copy of SSHE and told me to check out 2+2.com. At that time I had played some hold 'em (caused it looked like such a cool game on TV), but never really thought about winning at it. SSHE really opened my eyes about what I could learn to play poker well, but this forum is what pushed me over the hump.
I remember one of the first threads I saw said "60K in 60 days." I couldn't believe it. At first I thought it was a joke. When I read it and finally accepted it, something triggered and I was instantly determined to play this game well (thanks Gonores /images/graemlins/laugh.gif). About a week afterwards I deposited $200 and played some $.50/$1. 7 months later I have played through every limit except one - $15/$30. Tonight I finally hit my target for bankroll and now I am drinking. Tomorrow I will make the jump and hope for continued success.
I owe all of this to Sklansky, Malmuth, Miller and all of the posters at 2+2. From the bottom of my heart I thank everyone here who taught me a little bit about poker and helped me achieve something I thought impossible this time last year.
