For others, that's a full 20BI BR. For me, it was about 6.
This is true. Perhaps the word bankroll isn’t correct. Maybe it should be stop loss.

When I started out I read practically every poker book that had ever been published in preparation of my move to Vegas. I showed up as a breakeven player despite having studied a pretty ridiculous amount. I progressed infinitely more and infinitely faster when I found peers to discuss hands with (shoutout to squid and robfarha).
Consuming good training material is great and absolutely necessary but the most important thing is applying it to the games you're playing, not finding the perfect combo of training material.
Yes, that sounds like a good idea! Any tips on how to find these people? Also, perhaps I already partially found them by joining this board?

I would probably pick up where you left off. You can learn faster for less money at the penny tables. Also get in touch with RoadtoPro.
I’m profitable over a small sample size in live low stakes casino games and home games. I can’t guarantee I'm a winning player yet, but I think I am/can be.
