Deposit 50.00 at PokerStars
Play .05/.10 limit until you win 300 BB
Play .25/.50 limit until you win 300 BB
Play .50/1.00 limit until you win 600 BB - do this at Party
Play 1/2 .....You can get to this point in less than 6 months. I did it in 5.

The whole time you are playing, post hands, make tweaks to your game, etc.

There is no reason you should ever have to spend more than 50.00 to play poker the rest of your life.

Oh yeh, play money is a total waste of time. Do it to have fun, not to learn poker.

how do the .05/.10 games at stars play? i think that sounds like a limit that would best suit my starting bankroll...but i dont really feel like playing a game where 5 people are in every hand till the river
