Hi, guys, please, I need some advice or information about my experience on poker so far...

In october last year, because of my wife and a mate of mine, I started reading some books about poker - I´ve read around 5 so far, and adding - after my first reading I started an account at PokerStars - since I received 1,000 in play money I decide to take it very seriously as my bankroll, never losing it, and I treated it as if it were money itself...

I put in my mind I would be very restricted following bankroll management and never dared a limit beyond it...

Today, after about 3 months from registration, that first 1,000 is now 17,000 - I must tell I started playing playmoney SnGs which buy-in is 200+15 only after I reached 10,000 - before this, I used to play only heads-up, and I´ve been confident with SnGs now, since I´ve reached second and first place very often, that is improving my playmoney bankroll a lot!

My primary next goal is improving to be able to play SnGs 500+x buy-in, that are much more rewarding...

I noticed, also, that after I reached 10,000 - which was my first goal - improving to 17,000 was a bit easier, since I could join much more profitable tables. I think this means the larger´s one´s bankroll, the more chances one has to go gathering more to feed it...

This experience was good, among other aspects, for practicing patience, self-confidence and to confirm bankroll management does work!

Also, I´ve gained around U$5 to U$6 dollars altogether from getting ITM in some freerolls, and now I´m around U$15 added from 0.1/0.2 NLHold´em tables... But I don´t play very much on real money tables, ´coz I´m not that sure I can do it...

The question is, will this experience with managing my play money account add as soon as I really start playing with real money - in the next 3 or 6 months?

Thank you in advance...
