good luck single-tabling 5k hands...ever. no offense, mezz, but that would take a long time. with reading the stickies/guides here at FTR, and a little practice, you should be 2+ tabling 10k hands every 60 days...minimum...and thats a slow enough growth curve.

the aggressive, that want to take poker seriously, will blow my suggested pace away w/in weeks...and be fine.
