A Month Off...

[xGoreDudex]

I'm a couple of weeks into taking a month of poker, mainly because im on vaction in another country. I've brought a few books down with me to study hard with in the evenings. I have brought TOP and SSHE, I've been re-reading and studying SSHE in sections instead of one big read, and been able to identify that I was playing pretty weak tight for the most part.

So anyway, a few more weeks of studying is ahead and hopefully be able to get to work on applying these concepts. Anyway, I'm just curious about a few things.

How many thousand of hands does it typically take a winning player to reach $2/4-$3/6 and do well. I had been playing $1/2 for about 30k hands and had a win-rate of 1.5/100 which is pretty useless for that sample size.

I know there is probably no, once you hit x many hands you should be here, just more curious as to what some of you pooh-bahs were able to accomplish and what things you were able to do to play a solid Small Stakes game.

Thanks.
