Default Re: How many young players out there actually make it???

Personally, I think the most important idea to learn is to never touch your bankroll. So many times during the first semester back after playing poker I was eating ramen and staying in on weekends because I didn't have 10 dollars for the cover for some party my fraternity would be hosting. I had a few friends who had the potential to play 100/200 by now, but instead they took their bankrolls and spent it on car repairs or bills, and now they don't play poker anymore or play low stakes.

I had to spend about $6k last year on 'life expenses' that came out of my poker bankroll. If I hadn't, I'd probably be playing much higher than I am now.

... however, I would have had to take out loans for some of the expenses. Would that have been a better choice? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
