Since February 2015, I've won over 5.2k in PokerStars and I'm now ranked 2,013 out of 400,000 people playing in their Real Money games. 2,013 doesn't sound impressive but I've only been playing for 6 months. I did start at the bottom of those 400,000 players, so I'm proud of myself.
I started off playing for fun, but then I started winning big and now I just finished paying off this semester of college by myself at 19 years old....
Now I'm just waiting to turn 21 to join the big dogs. :)
