Beginner in cash games advice on limits?

#1 15th October 2010, 2:45 PM

Hello friends,

I've been playing mostly tourneys in casino's. I also began playing table games at the $6-3 limit. I have been holding my own (up about $20.00) having played about 40 hours at the tables.

A friend said that the rate I am playing is too low, that I should play $2.00 no limit hold-em. Buy in for $200. She said that is a good way to go because people call all bets at the lower limit.

Is she right?

I have the amount to buy in for that but I would be scared to play $18-9. Which would be easier to play? No limit or set limits?

this post is confusing.

Your asking what online cash games stakes you should be playing?

How much is your bankroll?

I definately wouldnt reccomend starting at 200nl. Especially if you dont have much ring experience.

edit: although they will respect your raises at that level. jk

200nl in a casino is as low as you can go and the standard of play is horrible.

Also you've won $20 in 40 hours at $3/$6?? That's not so good. Even a smallish WR at that level should earn you about $6/hr.

depends on how big your bankroll is and if u really want to make some money or take poker as a past time.

200nl is a joke at most casinos. You generally get alot of tourists looking to win a few bucks. Go up higher if your bankroll can sustain the variance.
