congrats on finding these boards and asking these questions.

Bottom line is that if you play the ABC poker that is suggested by many here consistently and with proper understanding you can easily beat these levels and may actually crush them.

These levels are the best levels to start from because mistakes come cheap. If you focus on correcting mistakes and playing solidly before you move up, you will have a much greater chance for success at the higher levels.

Regardless of results you must play to the best of your ability and you must play with confidence and understanding and with a willingness to study and learn.

If you focus on these elements, then the results will come.

Read, ask stupid questions, post hands, answer hands without looking at others responses first (known as grunching) watch others play and practice.

I personally started playing 2 years ago and learnt without these boards.

I was successful up to around 5/10 poker then I got blow out. A year ago I started posting and have had to fix a lot of mistakes and think about the why's more than ever rather than the how's.

I have built up bankroll twice since I started posting both times starting from ground zero again since I cashed out previous winnings.

So yes its possible to win from these levels. Good luck to you and hope we hear more from you as you soon.
