QUESTION FROM dreDubs2: how did you get started in poker? did you make a deposit online and grind it up or just cash in a decent size tourney to start your BR rollin?
ANSWER FROM Ryan Daut: put 50 bucks on, grinded it up playing cash. didnt win more than 7k in a tournament til i had over 100k
QUESTION FROM Wayne765: ok thanks, easier to read people live to rather than a screen, ill check out the site though, thanks
ANSWER FROM Ryan Daut: learning how to play your own cards well and being able to read hands from how a hand was played is much more important than being able to read if someone is strong or weak
QUESTION FROM MrPeepers1: 6max or full ring....how many hours a week did you put in when you were grinding it up to 100k?
ANSWER FROM Ryan Daut: ok me 6 months to turn 50 into 500 playing small limit holdem, then switched to nl. took me 6 months to turn 500 into 3000. then ~8 months of 15 hours a week later i had 100k just grinding it up.
QUESTION FROM dreDubs2: how long did it take you to grind that up? did you use pretty aggressive BRM?
ANSWER FROM Ryan Daut: when i first started NL id move up everytime i had 15 buyins for a limit. this worked until i hit 1/2 and had downswings. 30 buyins worked until i hit 10/20, when i had a 25k downswing. then i used 50 buyins to be safe
ANSWER FROM Ryan Daut: but you still have to be a winner in a game for that to work. things are much tougher now, so while i have over 200 buyins for 25/50 games, i wont play in them unless they are easier than usual because those players are really tough
ANSWER FROM Ryan Daut: FL teaches you to be very aggressive and get full value from your hands. but limit games are very different from big bet games, so if you want to learn NL or PLO play those games
QUESTION FROM stoogee1: can playing FL games improve my game and what can i get from these games?
QUESTION FROM loosernut: hi how long were you playing poker before you were a winning player?
ANSWER FROM Ryan Daut: i actually never lost my first deposit. i broke even on the 50 bucks for a couple weeks, but didnt take me long to figure out if i played really tight id just consistently win at low stakes
QUESTION FROM MrPeepers1: thanks! how long ago was this Ryan, i know the game online has gotten much tougher in the past few years
ANSWER FROM Ryan Daut: i think my first deposit was in the summer of 2004. i grinded it up to 500 bucks by december of 2004, but then stopped playing when school started in january and i got a girlfriend. really started playing a lot summer 2005

QUESTION FROM loosernut: do u think anyone that puts in the effort can win at poker or do u think certain people just see the game better?
ANSWER FROM Ryan Daut: its easy to be a winner in poker but its not easy to be a big winner. im confident i can teach anyone to make 5 dollars an hour from scratch in less than 50 hours of teaching. but bigger games are harder, so its tough to move up and win a lot
QUESTION FROM Anabelen55: but how to avoid getting on tilt?
