Took me 3-4 months to make my first $500. In the 5 months since then I've made $16.5k. Welcome to the fast lane bro.
I've turned my initial $60 into $450 over a month and 3 weeks. The first three weeks were a very bumpy road as I had to learn the game (oh a flush is HIGHER than a straight?!) AND cope with the horrible mental fits that come with poker at the same time. (those have cost me SO MUCH in the past it's uncanny)

Cutting down on 'playing when I suck' is crucial and I'm finally more able to pick up the signs within myself when I can play a normal game and when I can't. Like now, I really wanna play, but I *know* I'm gonna suck so I have to wait until I feel I'm up for it.

I need to start bonus whoring *badly* though.. but damn I can't seem to be able to get my money into neteller . Maybe I'm better off just getting a credit card?

Oh and I can't wait for the fast lane That would be so cool and welcome, although I'm not getting my hopes up (honestly) for it to happen any time soon. I suck too much still.
