Tpark, let's pretend I'm a dog named Brian. Let's pretend your a guy named Peter.
Peter: I won $1700
Brian: Are you sure you won $1700? Are you sure it wasn't nothing?
Peter: Oh, oh yeah... It was nothing.

Before you do anything more check out www.twoplustwo.com and check out the forums there. You'll learn alot of things about bankroll management and what books to read. I just learned poker about a year ago and play on pokerstars and partypoker. I play mostly nl holdem single and mul able tourneys since thats what I know best.
I wouldn't expect to win as much as you have every day. I think most good players at a 5/10 table will win about 40-50 dollars per 100 hands over the long run.
If you've been playing awhile I would suggest depositing $1000 which would give you the bank roll for 1/2 limit. If you're just starting out like me start lower. There is also some good software like pokertracker which keeps track of how you are doing and records hands you play in a database. If you can beat 1/2 then move up a level and so on and so forth.
Above all else proceed with caution.
2+2 is a great place on the net. If you're an SNG player then you probably know that they have great threads no independent chip modeling and end game strategy. After I read some of those, I started playing nothing but SNGs. Great way to make money
A good player at 5/10 will win 10 dollars per 100 hands. Anyone winning 40 dollars per 100 hands at that level is absolutely crushing it and finding value in every single spot. Thats probably not realistic. 20 dollars per 100 is still beating the level quite handily, and I think that a good player would target that.I wouldn't expect to win as much as you have every day.

1000 will give you a roll for 2/4. You really don't need more than about 200-250 big bets in your roll.If you've been playing awhile I would suggest depositing $1000 which would give you the bank roll for 1/2 limit.

Pokertracker is indeed good software
Where do you play dude? Do you live in SA?Above all else proceed with caution.
Yeah I wrote my post a little quicker then I wanted. I wrote it right before I went to work. I wasnt sure about the good winning rate at limit.
As far as bank roll it depends who you talk to and what you're personally comfortable with. I think the best way to approach online poker is to take it slow. I'd rather make mistakes at the lower limits then at the higher limits. I'm still learning how to play in cash games as I feel I'm a strong tourney player for someone who's only played the game for less then a year.
I live in Iowa. I play in a couple of home games 2 or 3 times a month. I thank god for internet poker, it makes it easier to play since I work the night shift. I play 10-20 hours of poker a week. It's definitely something I enjoy, right now for sngs and tourneys I'd be up quite a bit but took some bad beats and made some bad plays and lost everything I've won tourney wise and sit dead even with my original $450 deposit.
EDIT: Someone mentioned to T Park to play in tourneys since he won't lose alot of money right away. I disagree, the best thing is to play what you're comfortable with. There is a big difference between tourney and ring game strategies.
wow thanks for that link Duncan,
2+2 looks AWESOME!!
Im trying also to learn all the "lingo" like SNGs and what not.
I like how things went yesterday, but I think i just got very very lucky.
Hopefully tuesday is a better day!
As quick as you win it, you can lose it even faster. Over a 3 week period I won $220 and in a 3 day span lost $150 of it. Don't expect to win how you did every time. Nights and weekend are the best time. In a matter of 30 minutes on saturday I turned my $25 buyin into $90.wow thanks for that link Duncan,

Definitely explore the 2+2 forum, post hands that you have questions on, and read some books on the type of games you want to play. Can you make money at poker? Absolutely. Will it happen right away if you have little experience? Almost never.
Good luck to ya, just make sure you take it slow and do some research.
Thank you Duncan I will do that, and believe me, my luck at that 10-20 table, was just that UNREAL luck!!!
Nights and weekend, I will remember that for the coming month of may, however in the summer, daytime after 2 PM local time till about 7 local time is when im going to be hitting the tables the hardest.

I thought it was 5 10 but it was 10 20.
I mistyped.
I apologize.
Im glad Im the only one you guys can rag on.
Tpark, you're bringing this on yourself. You're putting up an outrageous story that you can't even keep straight.
But I tell you what. Stars has great support and they'll email you the hand histories of your games. Email support and request your hand histories from the day that you were on this heater and let me check them out. I can use them to to help your game and tell you where you made mistakes, and you'll also be vindicated.
Ok?
Oh so now you want to help me?
I'll help you, T Park -- I'm pretty much a poker professional. It's all about the variances and the river, I say.
Yeah. I want to help you to stop telling lies. I don't understand what the point is. You IM me the other night saying you've never played online poker before which makes me wonder what the you were talking about when you posted a previous poker thread and your online winnings that day.
What is the deal man? Why are you telling these stories? You don't need to do things like this, I honestly find it bizarre.
Just wanted to reply to a few people.
Kris,
I don't have the personality or the game to go Pro.
Manny,
I think DN referred to playing live, but the advice was given to me 3 to 4 years ago, so I don't exactly remember.
Here's some additional advice, if any of you want to go the tournament route go to Pokerschoolonline.com. Did that for a year when Daniel Negreanu was a teacher and it took my tourney game to a different level. However, It screwed my cash game up.
I used to play a lot with Mattias Anderson at PSO, Mattias placed 5th in the 2004 WSOP. Dude won $545k or so. The school had 3 or 4 guys who cashed that year.
