I think you're the only person that knows yourself well enough to answer this question. It could take you a couple of months, or you could never do it no matter how much work you put in. Read these forums and try to get a feel of the standard at that limit, then decide if you're capable of it and estimate how long it will take for you.

A Good long while, but that shouldn't stop you from playing.

based on your previous post about supposed "bad beats", i would guess you dont have alot of natural common sense ability, and consequently the learning curve will be larger than most. go ahead and prove me wrong
