Re: How long did it take you to get good/profitable?
I would recommend you pick a game and stuck to it until you were a significant winner. I usually recommend full ring no limit to my friends who are starting out as you can play hit-to-win poker (tight pre-flop with little bluffing) and make money. Full ring also has less variance than 6-max. My coach advised me not to move to 6-max until I was a comfortable winner at full ring NL$100. This was good advice.
Also, make sure you always play within your bankroll. As a rule of thumb 25 buy-in is probably a reasonable bankroll for someone just starting out at full ring.
