One major thing....
"Do not think about how other people are doing at poker, only concentrate on how you are doing and how you can improve"
There are people that can turn 50 bucks into a big wad of cash right from the first time they start playing poker. This should not matter to you.
Some people lose thier 50 bucks 10 times over when they first start playing poker. This should not matter to you.
Other people slowly move up and down with thier money and hopefully over a life time come out with a positive result either monetarily or through enjoyment of the time spent. This should not matter to you.
The only thing that should matter to you from start to finish of your poker adventure is how you are doing, how you can improve and what is needed to be done to complete the goals that you set.
If you are not a natural at poker, then posting questions like you did is a very good start. If you were playing SNG's which took a chunk out of our bankroll, then moving to a lower limit with less variance like cash is a good thing. Playing a less variance style like TAG is a good thing. Reading the Bronze cash/SNG articles 3 times over is a good thing. Making 30 cents an hour is a good thing over losing 1 cent an hour.
You are on the right path, just hard to see the right path in poker when some many others are zooming every which way around you on so many different paths.
Read all the advice everyone gives you and figure out what advice fits you, your life style, your though patters and your poker style/bankroll the best.
BTW, what site do you play on?
(or should be atleast)
