Message: [QUOTE="Nostpoker, post: 1768645, member: 82699"] I started when was 18 and it took me around 5 years to get to the point where i constantly win money. I play on and off, i'm pretty sure i could of done it in a year if i played every single day/ moment and had some professional help. But it's just me, some nub friends and the internet/ live playing poker for fun. I lost around a grand or even more at live play before i finally knew what i was doing. Looking back if i had some professional help, the learning process would be much easier, but it is a grind, poker's no joke, your not good until you understand every single move a pro makes and why they made those moves. Like phil ivey said "just put in the hours"- and don't lose more than you can afford, (which is one rule i fail to follow). I use to think poker was 50/50 skill and luck but now it's looking like 90 skill/10 luck [/QUOTE]
