I've only been playing on-line for about six months. Starting playing live seriously about two months ago. Of course, I've been playing in homes games for several years, but didn't delve into the strategy side until I starting playing on-line and posting here.

I'm a break even player now, which means I'm above the rake. I don't expect to really be profitable for a while, esp with all the mistakes I continually make (see my hand analysis threads to see what I mean).

Been playing just over a year both live and online. Wish I'd started playing earlier (22 now) but hey.

For some of the old timers, how long did it take for you to become a winning player?
