| Sucking at BRM, Help! Hey guys, I'm a poor guy who loves to play poker and is trying to become a serious player but I find it hard with my limit means to cash. Also I get bored at any online room that doesnt have any visual stimulants. So I play only at truepoker which has awesome graphics. Anyway, I have $4 bucks to work with. the lowest NL cash game there is a max buyin of $5 at .10/.20 stakes, also for limit but the buyin is unlimited on those. As far as tournies go, there tournies cost more to buyin than a lot of other sites but you get better value with a smaller field of players and i like that. they have a 6k every sunday for $50 and a 1k every saturday for $10 (this is just a brief explanation of what im up against). The only sng's that are ever really played there are the $3.50 10 seaters besides the headsup games which people play at all buyin levels. So I figure that if I play the 3.50 sng's, then I would have to win 1 out of every 3 or even less to make any money. At the $5 buyin cash game it is hard to play .10/.20 with only 5 bucks. I dont have enough of a bankroll to stick to a 5% guideline either. What should i do in my situation? Should I grind it out or try to make some quick cash at a larger table and then go back down when i can do the 5% rule. Any suggesstions? |

| You cannot do anything that even remotely resembles BR management at True Poker with $4. Cash games are almost out of the question. At 10/20c minimum NL games, you only have 20 BB. If they allow $2 buy-ins, you could try to gamble by entering a full-handed game with half your BR($2), waiting for a good hand and going all-in. If you win anything, even just the blinds, and you are above your $2 buy-in, leave the table and repeat the procedure. A much better approach would be for you to play freerolls. Since you are poor, that fits your budget. If you accumulate enough freeroll winnings at a site to be able to play cash games or SNGs with BR management, then you have accomplished a big step. If you cannot do that, then your poker skills are not yet at the level where you can turn $4 into a fortune. Good luck. |

| well i was playing some .10/.20 limit just a little bit ago and now im down to $36, man that table is a dawnting task. It's unbearable, absolutely no action at all. It was hard to stay out of a pot with the highest bet being .20, lol What would be the best thing with my BR where there is minimul risk, i can handle swings and the action is good? |
