I got Poker Tracker and promised myself I would not move up until I had at least 10k hands and a solid 2bb/100 winrate.

I am not math geek, but i'm pretty sure you can't have a solid (thrustworthy) winrate after 10k hands

Thanks,

Well here's some math. You have a degree which would probably get you a $100k/year job, and you've lost $1-2k this year playing poker during the easiest time you're ever going to have it.

Being intelligent and good at mathematics doesnt make anyone a poker player.

People who are good at poker are usually exception at strategy games such as chess.

I think you are just trolling anyway so I wont bother too much.

When I first started playing poker about 1000 years ago in junior high, I thought I was smarter than all the other players (better grades and test scores). Because of this, I thought it would be easy to win. Wrong. Cards don't care about your grades or test scores. I didn't even start breaking even until I was a senior in high school. Of course there were no good books back then, no internet, no 2+2, so I had to learn from just playing once or twice a week in nickel-dime-quarter games.

Obviously there are game playing skills that sometimes are not directly related to your ability to do well on the math aptitude tests. Anyway the results speak for themselves. But there is no way to know what your problem is. Post some stats.

Clearly this post is a joke.

If you are smart as you say you are you will do yourself a favor and spell advice right.

go to Poker Stars and play 5NL until you can beat the level for 30k hands or so. You have to move up slowly with poker. Its like riding a bike, learn the basics and move up, you cant jump up too fast.

also, A lot of players here including myself played poker because we really enjoy it, and eventually we turned into winning players and use it as a large source of income. Dont dwell on trying to become a pro just try to learn something everyday and work on your game.
