thanks for input. I have a strong opinion that poker is a easy game to learn, but takes years of experience to become a very good player. and the toughest game is no limit. It is fun and exciting to watch on TV. but, most pros suggest starting at low limit games and work your way up to no limit. Like Amy Duke did. Howard sponsered and coached her in small casino in Montana, then after a few years went to Vegas and the big time. Ofcourse, a few fast learners rise to the top very quickly, and a whole bunce of young studs are kicking butt. I might be behind the curve on this subject. I do know poker is a game of skill, and I love it.
