| Conservative? Hi guys, love all the posts and learning a lot about online play here. I started playing .01/.02 cent tables and was not doing good. I was playing 2 tables at a time and it seemed that I was always trying to win every hand I was in. I always thought the other guy is bluffing. So, I progressed to playing 6 tables and have found success. I found that the more tables that I play the more conservative I am and I dont get involved in silly hands or situations. I still get some bad beats as we all do but plaing more tables has given me the LIGHT! I am currently playing .05/.10 tables and buying in for $4, 6 tables at a time and have been making $10/day. Also, playing a couple of sng's when I am up more than $5. Do you guys find that playing more tables makes you conservative and you only play more premium hands? Is this the way online players do it? I was a live player for a few years but stopped cause had a daughter so this is new for me. |

what happens when you have AA and somebody else at the table gets KK and they have $15 as to your $4. You both probably go all in preflop and at the end you only win $4...instead of $10. |

You need a reason for buying in for $4, and fear isn't a good reason. If you think you play better postflop than your opponents (and you should if you're at the table) then you should be buying in for the full amount. If you're more used to playing tournaments, then buying in for $4 is fine, as that plays more like a tournament. Everyone is always so quick to tell you to buy in full, but often as a beginner it might be better to play half stacked. Just try to think about why you're buying in for the stack size you're choosing. |
