Well anyways, I managed to make $23.38 today play .5/1 at party today for an hour and a half, I know these results probably aren't typical, but hey I'll take it.

If you are playing with your own cash and just playin the lower limits I personally think its fine.

Lots of kids play online games for hours and hours and nowadays there is money to be made in a lot of them via online comps or being in a clan that does well at lan events.

It may piss a load of us older ones off but I suspect a fifteen year old will pick the gme up and master it a lot quicker than some older people.

Keep studying here look to buy some books and play within your means. If you get to the point of stealing your parents credit card then that is when the line is crossed.

Are your parents aware of what you do and what is their attitude to poker?

My parents are well aware, they don't really have any problem as long as I spend my money and to not spend too much (and not get addicted of course). I have made some Paypal online so I can play around with it a little.

my advice: spend your money on books, fully understand them, then play. otherwise you're gonna lose at least $50 before you realize i'm right

That's the best way to save time and money. Good books like ITH and the various 2+2 books keep you from wasting time and losing cash pointlessly trying to reinvent the wheel.
