Hey guys, I'm new to LP. ^_^

Mikeymoo at TL. I'm not actually good at SC at all, I just like following the eSports scene.

I'm also underage, but my 18th is in 6 months, so I thought it was time to finally register here, as I've been lurking for about 6 months now. Just never had anything to say.

Just a few questions for those who have already climbed the micro limits:

About how many hands did it take, personally, for you to get from 5NL to 50NL?

My goal is to get a full-time job over the summer, and dedicate myself to maybe 5 hours a day on weekends and maybe 2 on weekdays. Using friends' accounts, I manage to 16-table 10NL; they let me cash if I profit, and I pay them in cash if I run bad.

I run at about 5bb/100 (is that the proper terminology?) at 10NL.

What then, is the point of me joining LP if I can't play for another 6 months?

I intend to study as much poker as I can, and gain all the information that I can so I can crush the lower limits, control my discipline (biggest problem atm), and eventually get to the point where poker can provide maybe 5k a year. (Tuition fees)

Hopefully I can get 10k hands in a week. Since my birthday is mid-July, is it reasonable to want to hit 50NL by September? (60k hands?) If not, how long will it take? I'm aware that none of you know how well (or badly) I play, and it's difficult to gauge, but all I can say is that I'm an avid game theorist with the drive to want to continually become better.

Thx for reading.
