Well I win more $/hand than any of the young guys here but like two [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img], but it took me a solid 6+ months of dicking around in small stakes games without any real purpose, and then another 1+ yr of studying and learning the game and working hard at it to get to the point of finally making what you might call "real" money (ie $100-300/hr range) and now there is no looking back.
There are some who have won $100,000 in like 3-4 months of experience, and some of them are actually really good players, but they have benefitted tremendously from lots of good luck whenever they try moving up to a new limit. They have accelerated quickly, ran hot, and been fearless in calculated risk taking.
addendum: the "Well I win more $/hand than any of the young guys here but like two" was sarcasm. It's actually more like 4 or 5.
