Re: Poker: What\'s so difficult about it???

It would take ages to build your skills enough to go from .5/1 to a level where the amount of money you can make is actually significant.

This is the only statement of yours I really disagree with. I started playing 0.5/1 in October 2004. It's still 2005 and I am now playing 10/20 and 15/30. I still have weaknesses in my game and I will likely stay at these levels for a while to improve my game, but I am now playing in games that, while hardly world class, are substantially more difficult than the games I initially started playing, and I am pretty confident I am at least a marginal winner.
Realistically, it is possible to move up to another limit properly bankrolled in about a month if you play full time and within several months if you play part time. Of course, you have to do the right things during that time and it is hard work.
It's not the time consumption that keeps people from moving up. It's their laziness in not making more of an effort to get better.
