um, i lost a thousand dollars YESTERday. lol. stick with it, youll learn the game and progress without even noticing. the trick is to play stakes you can afford. if that means playing one-two cent, then do that. you could dump 5 buyins a day and not hurt yourself. and micro can be a lot of fun: beats the hell out of play money.
The difference is you could handle it; that 1k was everything I had. I had lost well over $1000 in 2005, but it was $1000 from my pocket. I had deposited around 1k, made some profit, and lost everything... I don't even know how much it was as I didn't take stats.
