When did you realize you had turned the corner?

As a low limit MTT grinder when (months or years playing) did you notice you had turned the "corner" from playing ABC poker to playing on different level than most of the players at your level? What changes did you see specifically in your game?

 I definitely turned the corner.  Unfortunately there was another one around that way too.

When I would load a MTT in the PXF hand viewer and surprise myself with some of the 'moves' I made.

 When I stopped playing as many hands as my buddies.  On one level it took that free spirit fun away but in return it brings something else that can be fun $$.

 there's probably about 30 corners you can turn when you're learning to play poker


had a pretty big breakthrough when i first learned to jam when i had 10bb's and not raise/fold...but that's the one that's gonna help me to win mtt's or be a top ranked player...ducy

 Confucious Say: Careful. Turn 3 corners, end up where you started.

 I just thought i was going in circles till i got close enough to the the drain......

  1 sign you may be turning the corner however is when u can no longer type in your credit card number, exp date and 3 digit pin without pulling it out to look at it....
