as a beginner

the same case with me. after making some little victories, i thought i am what you may call a semi-pro already,
only to fall back again later on. good luck to you too.

never though about being semi pro...I got to win a wsop before

good luck

I agree with most on this thread. I'll get on a hot streak and cash in several tourneys, build a decent bankroll and think "hey I can really do this". Only to watch it all disappear in a few short days.

I also agree with Peetey

i agree it can be very frustrating,and u are right you have to be patient.some days you just cant get anywhere but those times when u do or take down a couple nice pots its like the clouds disappear and u see light at the end of the tunnel

Then the tunnel comes crashing down...

If u feel like playing good, and u beat players at ur level (u make money off them) means u are geting better and as u called (semi-pro)

we all have to start at the bottom of the rung of the ladder

I am a recreational player, playing for fun and making a few $.
I don?t have the time to learn a lot...
