Re: How long/much does it take to be a consistent winner?
[ QUOTE ]
i started reading 2+2 in november and deposited another $200. i've made $25,000 since then. [/ QUOTE ] Congrats on your success. I know from your posts that you know what you're doing but $200 to $25K is simply not attainable by skill alone (unless you're playing obscene hours). You're on your way to becoming the next Bruiser (another guy who started low, played a lot, studied a lot, posted a lot, ran very well for a long stretch of time, and is now regularly playing in the biggest games on the 'net). Don't take that as a slur on your ability as it definitely isn't one.

Re: How long/much does it take to be a consistent winner?
I spent about 200-300 before even buying a book.
Then I bought one, then 2, then .. 8 ! Then I switched to NL. Then I started making a little. Then I started to improve steadily. Then I found 2+2. And here I am. All in all it took about 2-3 months of "serious" poker before I started seeing some consistent results. The biggest cost to learning poker, though, is not the out-of-pocket money. It's all the money you're losing while being a winning player, if that can make any sense. Oh, and if you can avoid that pitfall, please do : when I started making money, I thought, well well !! I'm going to win me some tourneys ! It turns out I did win some (some around 1K$ which was pretty big for me, still is). But then I started playing some 50 and 100$ buy-in tourneys and proceeded to lose everything I had ever made in tourneys. I was fortunate enough to have won some money before I went mad on these, but I could've eaten my bankroll. Tiltlessness is the most expensive skill to acquire, many players pay the tax their whole lives, even winning ones.
