I was watching these games that I now play, seeing how bad they were, and knew I could make money. So I thought, what's £50? If I lose it, it's not going to be the difference between eating and not. But, if I run at least average to begin with, I should do ok. So over the next four days, I won £400. Now I understand that 4 days of poker is not enough to "go pro", hence me using the word "try". But I also strongly believe that what makes or breaks my success is basically dodging particularly bad luck for the first few months as I build my bankroll.
