I watched my friend the other day turn 50 dollars in 4300 in just over 2 hours. It was a total fluke but so fucking funny.. Used it to pay off debt, go figure.

I shared an apartment with a good friend of mine who are making $10-$50k/month.

For obvious reasons he moved into something bigger

The spread is enourmous and sometimes he is down to "only" $10k profit which is not much playing NL1000 (only 10 buyins)

he is playing roughly 70-100k hands / month and have been playing 5 days a week for 3 years straight. It takes pratice and fucking hard work to do it, but if you have 5+ spare hours a day and are willing to use the first 6 months playing NL25 until you have made at least 100 buy ins well then I can only say go for it!!!

If you do not have the right amount of decipline or time for this then stop now or play occasionally for fun

I could never make it that far.

Good for you but it means nothing. You need to check out long-term results to see if you have any decent success.

newbie luck yes.. quit while you can!

I 6 x ed my money within the last 10 days, lost 20% of my total money today though because I was playing really bad.

I turn an average $2k in profits a month playing nothing but sit and go's on Full Tilt. I much prefer the tournaments of 90+...knockout style.

I play very low limit though. $20 buy in's for $250 pots... I hit the final table 1 of 3 times.

Just don't ever play poker with money you can't afford to lose

How much should you buyin for to get started and what limit should you play?

best poker advise ever

**VicD** · 02-11-2008, 03:19 PM

I play mostly at Pokerstars, just played a couple of sit & go's, i won one with 45 players, another one i finished 6 and lost 4 others (12 buy in)
It's up to you to calculate what i won

**NTSS** · 02-11-2008, 03:25 PM

there's no money in poker

**shermo** · 02-11-2008, 03:29 PM

For the record, I meant $10 buyins for $250 pots in knockout format. ;)

I just play 2 at a time nightly to help wind down before bed. I used to play much heavier, but now it's just for enjoyment and some extra fuckaround money. I still hit the casinos a few times a month and try to prey on some Vegas fish.
