Default Re: My First Year of Limit Poker (long)

Great post. I liked hearing about how you told your family. That something I would like to do at some point, but for now, my wife is at least passively supportive. Once I can convince her my success over the last year is due to skill and not luck I think I'll be able to be proud of my poker accomplishments.

Another small benefit of the grind. Being able to hand my Dad a printout of PT stats with like 50k hands where I was winning 2 BB/100 at .5/1 in my first two months was helpful. Nothing impressive to 2p2ers, but to normal people 50,000 hands is an insane number and to be beating it at a solid rate and being able to do a confidence interval for him really helped. My dad's no statistician, but he got the point.
