Hi guys, I'm new to this website and reasonably new to training to play poker with the motivation of being profitable rather than just gambling. I've been trying to build up my bank roll at 0.01/0.02 full table NLH but my frustrating keeps getting in my way.
What typically happens is that I'll play for say 50 minutes, and in time time more often than not I've gone from $2 to $2.20 - $2.30. Somewhere around there. But I get frustrated. I see guys come in and with one (sometimes marginal hand), double up even triple up their chips and make more profit than I would playing for a day so inevitably I go all in with a reasonable hand (say AK, AQ, that type of thing) aiming to get the profit and wind up going broke.
So my question is what is a reasonable profit for a beginner at playing poker for profit at this level? Is 20-30 cents good? I guess if I knew I was on the right track I wouldn't be so apt to 'gamble' at getting more profit!
Cheers
