Re: What to do with $14000?
There's no shortcut to becoming a winning poker player...It takes a lot of experience and studying
The people telling you to put aside 13k are giving you good advice. You don't need to grind it out playing .02/.04, .05/.10, and .25/.50 like some others do, but .5/1 is certainly a good place to start. This is assuming you want to play limit hold'em.
Bankroll recommendations range from 300-1000 BB's, or $300-$1000 at .5/1. I believe 300 is too small, but 1000 is overly conservative. 500-600 is ideal.
As others have said, take 55 bucks and buy Pokertracker. Post on here, read the advice on here. Everyone's poker journey is different...Personally it's taken me 2 years of learning the game and bankroll management to get to the point I am at now, which is still just a small stakes player, grinding out about $2000 a month
There's a lot of sarcastic know-it-alls on this board who don't seem to have any actual advice, and have forgotten the struggles of learning how to play winning poker...But it's pretty easy to figure out who those guys are.
