I'm pretty sure Ed did not mean to imply that it's THAT easy to just jump from one limit to the next and 'kaboom'...suddenly you're rich.


Some people have done it.
but you still have to be pretty darned good.

Based on the questions you are asking I would say that you are being EXTREMELY optimistic in your goals.

How much online have you even played?
Are you a competent multi-tabler?
How many hands did you play to 'prove' that you are at the long-run and know you are a winning player?


Hopefully you calm down a little bit because it's not quite so easy as just 'showing up and getting rich'. If it was then everyone would already be there...and that simply isn't the case.


If you haven't played much online before then go ahead and start at 2/4 or 3/6 on party....and also learn the in's and out's of the 6-max game.

You still have MUCH to learn in this game.


A more realistic goal for you might be to prove that you can consistently beat the 2/4 and 3/6 games right now.
And then see if you can make it to 10/20 or 20/40 after about 12 months or so.


Even at 3/6 with bonus-whoring and rake-back and what-not it is possible to make $50k/year....this is a pretty good start.
At 5/10 and 10/20 playing multiple tables it is certainly possible to get to $100k/year or more.

Yes, I suppose some people HAVE actually done it faster.
But you haven't even played with poker-tracker or a HUD before. So you are kind of startig from scratch in some respects.



Take a responsible approach to this and you just might get there.

(fwiw - this is the advice i am trying to follow as well....still working on it though)
