Have heard a stat that 99% of no-limit players bust their entire bankroll after getting serious about the game. Don't know if that is true.

stop reading the books and start putting in tons of hands, spend every waking hour thinking about poker strategy and every sleeping hour dreaming up nonsensical poker situations in a repeating pattern which will drive you insane as the cards flit frustratingly around your mind, learn to piss in a bottle and develop the ability to microwave ready meals without timing out on 19 tables while you dash from kitchen to pc, lose contact with all your acquaintances as you rack up massive amounts of dough while cockslapping any concept of a regular circadian rhythm and play while drunk a handful of times each month so you can take high stakes shots without fear... [/ QUOTE ] awesome post!

Re: Many people go from low stakes to high stakes inside 1-3 years?
what do you consider the cutoff for highstakes? is 5/10 highstakes? 10/20? 25/50? i think going from knowing nothing to 10/20 in 1-3 years is reasonable for someone willing to work for it. im a midstakes player so i dont know first hand, but from what i hear the jump from 10/20 to 25/50 is pretty big as far as skill difference goes, not sure if any but a few can manage to go from nothing to 25/50 in that time period without running like god

I started at 25nl with $500 almost exactly a year ago, playing 25/50 and 50/100 pretty well rolled now. Never played more than 30k hands in a month either.
