I have been playing for years, micro stakes, building up what some would call a starting roll and then withdrawing it. Recently took a break for over a year, came back, played in a $4 promising my mate that if I made the final table I would play in that big 8 million, got 2nd !!! which was nice as it all but paid for my 8 million ticket.  First time I have ever played in anything like that, it was a treat, just a treat, as I can not really play live.  

I have used training sites before, but never really thought it was possible to do much except improve a bit.

Now I am wondering…

If I really really study hard, work hard at my game, would it actually be possible to make it all the way?

Well I guess we will find out, because I intend to work my socks off for the next few years, seeing what is really possible, starting right at the very very bottom (damn freerolls are generous these days).  TPE of course rocks, runs on linux, runs on plex to my Roku so when I am laid up I can still watch.  Lots to read, lots to listen to, lots to post, no excuses, no more excuses, just learn learn learn.

Oh, and 45, from UK, walks with a stoop.
