Default Re: Starting Poker at Different Stages of Life

First off, Interesting topic!

I'm 40, single.

I started poker a year ago. I knew very little if anything about the game. I didn't know about the concept of bankroll. Load up 50, lose 50, load up 50, lose 50.

I was spending money I shouldnt have been spending. I'm figuring I lost A LOT that first 6 months. I stopped playing for awhile. I read books. Found these forums and switched from limit games to SNGs. I put in 500 bucks in my bankroll. moved down to the party 11s. I've been doing moderately well ever since. I've cashed out about 300 bucks for personal reasons. My game is getting better and I'm making small cash. If I can get my bankroll up to 30 buy ins for the 20's I'll move up [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
