There are many examples of people who did it so its possible I think every pro started with $100 and move up to their first million so its possible thats for sure but you must be patient

If you look at the challenge Chris Ferguson took trying to get 0$ to become 10K$ it took almost a year. So I guess it will take quit some time to do it. And I think you will need big tournament results to accomplish the mission. But hey it a dream and the reason we play

everyone is talking about "making 1 million. you can do it, just be patience".
Hate to say this but for most of us it will just stay as a dream. It's not to "just build a bankroll" either, some people will never learn good poker, and few percents will get pro's, but not as many as you think.
I really can't agree with doomdy and scl cus it's not good for new players to hear this kind of stuff. My first reaction about this forum is big dreamers that don't ask relevant questions like tips and tricks, more of "how to" get rich etc. etc.
"it takes a minute to learn, a lifetime to master" over and out.

It's possible, but not for everyone, you need to have some skills , and ofcourse you need luck too.Sorry to say that for the most of us it will be nothing more then a dream, including me.

all i'm saying is be realistic, set goals, get better and better. I can think of players that have made their first $1000 and they think they are so good that they move up limits and they can't understand how they can't win. It can ruin your whole poker career.
In sweden we have this "Ken Lennáard" who was / is a poker pro, and some people thinks he's a totaly idiot because he is crushing peoples dreams, though he's just telling the truth. If you can find some english translate of some of his statements, please look after it. He's saying some wise words.

yes its a dream and yes its possable, I see some of the real online PRO players playing 12 tables at 1 time making around 1k per day some make a lot more, now that only 3 years ish of good play on medium tables, most ppl will bank it the pros will gamble it and thats the big diffrence, lots of skill a little luck and a strong head.
