I'm not underage. I've been 18 for some time now (I got started in school about as late as I possibly could have). It's not skill level that I doubt as much as just starting off with a bad run of cards. Early in the year, I played with a few guys (the fresh 18 year old guys who think they are gods gift to poker) who have been going there a while and "say" they make money...I then proceeded to destroy them...I am going to withdraw everything from PS to try and give myself some cushion (that cushion will help me immensely in mainly my mindset)...

OK...you didn't mention where you play, because most places in the US you must be 21 to gamble.

And it takes a lot less than "a bad run of cards" to lose 2 buy-ins. This sort of variance is trivially routine for even the best players. You will soon realize how shallow $200 is in a game where $12-$20 opening preflop raises are the norm.

yeah sorry...where I plan on going it's where most of the teenagers in the area go (I think it's the only 18 casino around...I just found out that the lowest they have is 1-3 (someone told me 1-2 but they apparently are wrong) with a $500 max buyin...now all I really have is one max buyin (not ideal obv but I guess we all have to start somewhere). Right now I'm screwing around on stars with $1.50 in a 9 max .01/.02 just to try and see what it possibly will be like. I will play smallball as DN calls it, but if what I heard is true, I won't be able to push people off pots as often unless I have a decent read on them (which means I'll probably give up after a failed c bet if my pos raise doesn't work unless I put him on a draw). I won't make that many bluffs because I learned the hard way don't bluff too often in the microstakes...
