Hey all,
Sorry for the length of this post but I have some things that I have to say and the people at this forum have always acted more friendly and little less sarcastic than 2+2. I would like to preface this by saying that anyone who knows me knows that I'm normally upbeat and downright jovial so don't think this is the ravings of another complaining fish.

But what's the deal with all these successful players seemingly coming out of nowhere and winning immediately? I hear so many stories about how I "started with $50 and built it up to a couple of hundred in 3 days" or "completed my challenge to turn $100 into $5k in a month", etc.

I'm an above average intelligence person so how are they playing in a different league than me?

Do they play more hands? If so, how many more a day?

Are they just the lucky few who played out of their Bankroll Limit and got lucky? Are they more aggressive? Or do they play conservative?

Are they that much better than me? If so, how do I get that good? Is there a certain book, which one(s)? Is there a certain coach? Who? Is it experience? How many hands worth of experience?

If the answers are some top closely guarded secrets that only the top players are privy to then please feel free to pm me with the password.
