Introductions

Dedicated myself for about a week in playing 5-7 hours a day at 25NL.

At first I thought I was running bad but now I just think I'm playing bad.

And here I thought I was a good poker player...

Lots of shit still to learn I guess and see where I am at 40,000 - 60,000 hands...

Hey guys,

I've recently come to a cross-road in my life where I feel like my education teaches me very little about what I would like to do in the future. I am doing semi-well in school, I have a part-time job and still try to find time for my hobby which is Poker.

I've been playing leisurely for quite a time now, home games, $1 stakes online but now I feel like it's time to step up and become serious and I started on my way by making a $300 deposit on Full Tilt about a month ago. I've grinded a lot to bring it up to around $538 but I feel like it's taking way too much time and that excluding the bonuses I receive, I'm only making like $5/hr.

I consider myself a decent poker player and I feel I am one of the three best players at all the tables on the $6 and $11 stakes. Maybe I need an ego-check, maybe I need to read some more but just wondering, is this how you all started out? Did it ever feel... Pointless?

Don't get me wrong, I love the game, I love playing it, and if I'm anything, I am competitive and I have the drive to get better at things I enjoy doing. Poker is one of these things and I believe I have the potential to become a winning player.

I'm not planning on dropping out of school I'm just wondering what little advice you have on starting players like me =) and hopefully I can make money to pay for school and etc. Hopefully we can become friends too in the long-run =)

Regards,
