merely advertised I had a bank roll of $14000 to indicate I do not need to play at the micro limits [/ QUOTE ] You are obviously not listening to the good advice others have already given you. Have fun pissing away $13,500 before you realize the error of your ways and start out at $0.5/$1 like you should have. (FWIW, sooo much of this guy screams 'troll'.) Adam

Re: What to do with $14000?
put $13,300 in a high inteest bank account.
Deposit $500 in pokerstars and start playing $0.02/0.05, log all your hands Buy poker tracker Buy a poker library and re-read it. People say you have to pay to learn poker.. you have to donate your money in cash games to learn from better players. I think this is just wrong if you start in the right place.

Re: What to do with $14000?
I know everyone wants him to start at .50/1.00 Since he has the bankroll why not start at $2/4 after doing the reading.
Is the play that much different at .50/1.00 than 2/4?

Re: What to do with $14000?
I would suggest starting at small stakes, wether limit or no limit is your game, but 2k should be enough to handle any variance you see at .5/1 games and various expenses. The reason I say small stakes and not micro is that micro tends to be really really poor play and you might develop some bad characteristics trying to beat it, its best to have opponents who at the least, are at the tables to win (despite how poorly they do it). A 2001fp was suggested earlier, and I agree with it because, 1. its easy on the eyes, 2. its useful for everything, and 3. 3-4 tabling is minimal for any serious online player.
Other than that, read up and study your play. Edit: POKER TRACKER

Re: What to do with $14000?
Shazzy,
I wouldnt get a coach till I was winning at the micro limits, that's just me. the early part of the learning curve is so steep cause it's all new info and you will have TONS to learn and develop, that you dont need the subtle stuff a coach will mention till later.
