I used to play with some frequency, both online, local charity tournaments and casinos. I had mixed results. My best showing was winning a tournament with 75 players. I also had some good runs on cash tables at the casino. I came close to an $11K payout, but for a bad beat (online)....
I decided that online sites were too dodgy, and casinos are swarming with sharks who will work tables.
It's fun, addictive, maddening, and dangerous. My advice to you would be to have fun, but don't let yourself get sucked into a bad situation.
