I started with $50 bankroll at NL4. I'm currently table-selecting NL200-NL100, intending to slowly drop off NL100 completely.

How long did it take?
I started playing poker about 13 months ago. I practically had a 3month break on the summer (less than 10k hands in 3 months), so I'd like to think that I've only played 10 months.

What was the single one thing that changed your game the most?
Obviously the most important things are playing the game and analyzing different situations. I can't really name a single biggest thing... but I'll try to say something:

First off it was realizing to play ultrasolid and nit it up. You can't bluff anyone at <NL50. Later on, learning to play looser preflop and more creative postflop (I used to be a huge nonsd-loser at first). I feel that semi-loose postflop and borderline maniac postflop is the style that suits me the best, I'm a scandi after all!

Quote:
What is the hardest thing to deal with (ex. long periods of no cards, single day losses, etc..)?
Losing days. Usually one 10 buy-in losing day is enough for me not to want to play in next week or two... which I think really slows down my learning. I've wasted tons of good grinding days (I'm going to university and working, so I really don't have too many spare days for poker) because didn't feel like playing.

What is your favorite site to play on?
Currently Ongame. The software is awful, keeps crashing etc, but I like 5-handed more than 6-handed, I've got a great deal there (~60% RB) and the games are probably slightly better than FTP or iPoker. (maybe placebo, idk)
