[ QUOTE ] I have also been playing poker for 18 months now, and I found it interesting to compare your progress to mine. I started out playing micro-stakes limit in the summer of '04, losing about half a grand before I decided to quit. But in the back of my mind, I knew that I had to keep playing, that I could beat this wretched game. So I deposited $5o into PP this March and played $25 NL. And I started winning. And winning. So I started moving up in stakes, where I continued to run good. I am the kind of person whose performance suffers when not challenged/stimulated enough, so when I started running bad at $400 NL I started taking shots in the bigger games. As of now I play 5-10 NL and higher, and I'm still running good. What's funny is that my goal in March was to be a winning player at 100 NL by the end of the year. Never in my wildest dreams did I see myself playing 10-25 against Esfandiari. I would just like to say that there is no way I would be where I am at today without 2plus2. Thank you all.

[ QUOTE ] I think there's a reason the best/highest-stakes players on this site are usually under 25. [/ QUOTE ] 1. They have more leisure time to learn the game. 2. They usually have fewer financial responsibilities, so they can commit to building their bankroll instead of paying off debts. 3. They are usually not entrenched in a job, so they can afford to take a chance by playing pro poker. 4. They often learn poker while still in school or right after finishing--they are ripe to learn from book/forum study. [/ QUOTE ] + sample bias. How this information is brought to us is a huge factor. While ggbman may have made this post had he not won at a high level most wont. We are hearing about the select few, out of a sample that we have no idea the size of. |

Along the way you will realise poker is a very emotional game and controlling your homelife and mind state is just as important as focusing on your game. While we see many kids shoot up stakes and win big a lot, there are tons of older people who grind out very successfully, because they live more balanced and organised lives. [/ QUOTE ] very nice post Jay |
