I think I've been playing poker for more than 10 years, although at first I didn't take it seriously, but I earned money regularly. When I came to CC I started studying poker and it has been better for me, my problem is that I always have to withdraw all my bankroll, and start from scratch, I now hope to be able to play bigger tournaments. 😎
I've been playing for several years, and one thing I've learned is that poker keeps teaching you no matter how long you've been around.
The more I study, the more I realize there's always another adjustment to make. That's one of the reasons the game never gets boring.

I'm new to this world but I fell in love with poker at first sight but I have a lot left to learn, I just need a good amount of time to get more experience since I currently have more losses than profits, but I know the process, there is a bad streak, maybe that's all, but I prepare every day to be better and I made a living from poker, the goal is to get to play live tournaments and travel and see places, their cuisine and culture in these countries, I've been playing poker for 7 months.
A noob here. Started playing live poker when was younger for a couple of years then stopped due to work. After decades & quit working, found Cardschat so started playing their games available in time zone. Also buys-in on tournaments (live & online) whenever time permits.
The biggest turning point for me was realizing that good poker is often about folding. Once you stop feeling like you have to play every interesting hand and start thinking in terms of expected value over thousands of hands, your results become much more consistent. There's always more to learn, but that's part of what makes poker so rewarding.
The truth is that I have been playing poker for years and a half, I want to start getting out of the freerolls and starting at the micro tables, the truth is that I only play 3 or 5 tournaments a day and with minimal attention to the tables because I do it while I work. And that doesn't let me concentrate the way I want to.
Reading everyone's "years played" here is a little intimidating as a total noob — I've only been at this a few months and I'm signing up for my first tournament soon. Definitely not pretending to be anything but a freshman right now. Curious how long you all played casually before you felt "ready" to sit down in a real tournament instead of just cash games or freerolls?
I'm just a novice, I think I've been playing for 3 years now, but I don't feel like a professional or at least someone who understands poker too much, I like poker too much, but I'm not close to being a professional, just more of a recreational one.
