Thanks,

Well here's some math. You have a degree which would probably get you a $100k/year job, and you've lost $1-2k this year playing poker during the easiest time you're ever going to have it.

Umm... it takes a lot more than 10,000 to have a good indication of true win rate. Also, SpicyF's advice is among the best available.

I am not math geek, but i'm pretty sure you can't have a solid (thrustworthy) winrate after 10k hands.

That's why you're not a mathgeek, and that's why you shouldn't be giving advice.

Since Spicy is apparently giving false advice, why don't you do all of us noobs a favour and correct him? I would certainly love to see how a winrate of 2bb/100 can be shown to be reliable after a sample size of 10k hands. Because, a non math-geek like me would plug in a reasonable number for a standard deviation, and get results that say his win rate number (2bb/100) would have a huge variance using a 95% confidence interval.

Please enlighten us.

After you've done that, maybe you can teach SpicyF and I how to play poker. Right now we're just grinding out the 0.05-0.10 games on stars and we want to move up, but we need a mentor with superior abilities. Can you teach us how to become great players??

well, once u have a bank roll set aside, it doesnt matter if you work full time or not.. IMO.. your job should not be funding your bank roll...
poker money grows from poker trees.. so.. if you need to keep putting money in, somethings wrong and your definately not crushing any games
