Re: How long did it take you to become a winning player?
I started out playing magic and chess in grade school, then .20/.40 in November 2005, met a carpal tunnel here at a new year's eve party who showed me pokertracker and pokeracehud, bonuswhores, rakeback, this site, and the literature I needed including cardrunners, talked some hands with me and let me occasionally sweat him over 2-3 months.
I started with $300, played 50k hands of .25/.50 at party (4.2BB/100), moved over to six-max, moved upto 4-tabling, 75k @ .50/1 6-max (3.1BB/100), moved upto-6 tabling that, then 2-tabling $25NL, then 4-tabling it, and I was playing $400 NL within a year and half after a two big tournament cashes.
Since I started at party and sun poker micro-limits after reading lots of top-notch material, then playing micro-NL pre-ban, I never was really a losing player, though jeebus was 2/4 NL aggressive.
