I played some home games and a buddy of mine asked me to hold his money in PokerStars (since I had a freeRoll account)... he had $ in an account that got locked and was going to transfer it to me... then open a new one... it didn't work out... for my trouble he let me keep $1 I turned the $1 into about $8 playing .1/.2 HE and playing very low limit 7 card stud...

I built that up to $17... and then added $40. I ran that up to about $120 playing some sit'n'go's but mostly playing .5/.10 and .10/.25 but mostly .5/.10.

Then I quit playing for about 2 years... but dabbled a bit now and again for an hour every couple 3 months... recently I started playing again more regularly 2-3 times a week for an hour or so each time... and in 15 sessions and a total of 12 hours I have made another $46.50 playing exclusively .5/.10 NLHE (6 max).

I have been reading and reviewing my sessions and it is amazing how the more you learn the more you realize you don't know.

I know that is only about $3 an hour but heck... what other entertainment/game can I play that pays me?

I think when I get my bank roll over $250 I'll move up to .10/.25
