Million different answers to this….But what I have still not learned is there are 2 parts to winning AND building a good roll, especially online - Poker technical skill AND bankroll management…..Pick a stake AND stay there, whether you make a rookie error or just plain get coolered, having all $$$$ in play you are guaranteed to fail
I run scenarios on my iphone calculator, I think 1% 1000x is like 20,000 you initial deposit …..But I always break my rule even when tripling my $20 or whatever deposit, and jump stakes….And when you DO jump, you don’t think it’s just whales (there ARE plenty)…..The players are just plain better at poker & will chew you up. But the simple math is , make 1% compounded every day for 33 months, you would turn $50 into $1M !
Other thing is most experts say you MUST play cash games , too much variance in tournaments….Not so sure anymore , I’ve vastly improved at both & I’m leaning back towards MTT’s
Good luck

I've been playing poker 'seriously' since 2017, was a recreational player for 15+ years before that.
It really depends on the individual.
My opinion is that anyone can learn to play poker well/profitably, but obviously some people will be able to do so quicker than others.
It's essentially a combination of motivation and aptitude.
If someone is willing to put in the effort to study and work on their game, they can improve their understanding, skill and return rapidly.
There have been instances where people have had meteroic rises in poker having only learned the game a year or two earlier.
Which goes to show how trash I am...
Must work harder!

I've been playing poker for over 8 years. My first year was unprofitable for me. The second year, I didn't lose money, but I didn't win much either. In the third year, my bankroll started to grow steadily. And I have to say that this growth happened after I became a member of the CardsChat community. So, I became a profitable player in about three years.

Funny enough, I put 10 euros online and won my first mtt, never looked back.
