It's really a lot harder to build your bankroll in poker now than it was in the past.
Online has been severely harmed post-black Friday, and low limit live poker has crushing rakes.
It's much better, if you really want to make a go at it, to build your bankroll or fundraise outside of poker and come in playing midstakes where the rakes are not crushing.
