I know what you mean, i read about ppl starting a 2NL a few months ago and now they're playing 100NL and i'm just like 'wow'.
But then again it's all how much u put into it. I'm lucky to get 6 hrs of play a week whereas most ppl can put that into a day or two. I thought i'd take my time and try and get to 25NL by next summer LOL
