Default Re: As a beginner, how long were you in the red, how\'d you turn it around?

For god sakes dont do what I did. I started out playing Hold'em home games in AK and instantly crushed the games. Went out and read supersystem and thought I was a winning player. Then I went down to seattle for a few months and lost my ass off at live 4-8.

Im in the Black now though. For me it started turning around towards the end of my stay in Seattle just kinda picking it up on my own and with my friend coaching and discussing poker with me. Then I picked up SSH and started reading the forums a couple of hours a day and occasionly participating. I cant overstate how good of a learning tool the 2+2 books and this forum are.
