keep up the good work and don't let the bad beats crush you! The micros can really put you on tilt! lol The micros have busted me more than once due to frustration! lol

#4 29th April 2009, 8:00 AM

Yeah nice work, I'd try to multi-table if you arn't already.....should help with the swings of micro sit n gos.

#5 29th April 2009, 9:22 AM

not going to multi table to much until the roll grows more I have a max of 3 at the moment

Now have 74 dollars it is a slow process but at least going the right direction. Need to learn how to read players any suggestions? ie what to look for etc

#7 30th April 2009, 7:59 AM

its pretty hard to read players at the micros because 99% of the time they don't even know what they are doing lol I wouldn't worry too much about reads in the micros, just play straight ABC poker and don't bluff much. If you try to get reads and overthink hands in the micros its going to lead to trying to make fancy plays that just don't work well against players that know nothing about poker strategy.

I know a guy who sticks to the $1 45's on Stars and seems to do quite well in them.
Personally I HATE Pokerstars micro buyin SNGs but probably from losing 20 in a row on there, lol (does Sharkscope have a symbol for that?.. like, super loser tilt? or maybe just a whole school of fish leaping out of a fish bowl).

Way to go on sticking it out and building your roll. It's not the easiest of things to do, despite what many might say. You are definitely a part of the minority. Keep it up!!

Very sensible approach you ar adopting but SONIC is right you will get hit by bad beats so dont get upset and try to step up too early. There is a school of thought that thinks the bad beats reduce as you go up because they are better players. This is correct but the difference between the $1 and $3 is non existent.

Like Dorkus said, it's about time they came up with a good idea for once.

#11 30th April 2009, 7:29 PM

Keep up the good work ruff, gl paying the micros, when the bad beats start endlessly-just stand, find another table and try again. if it persists, try another day
best of luck to ya and keep us updated

Thanks, I cant believe the price thes folks pay to chase a flush got hit 4 times today. so it looks like it is gonna be a slow climb. As for the differnce between 3.40 and 1.20 ya its huge with my bank roll at the moment. Thanks for the info on the play though. still grinding awaw at about 70

#13 1st May 2009, 3:57 AM

do they have those double up sit and goes still on Stars ?

I was able to get $10 up over $100 winning like 17 out of 20 double or nothing sit and goes, but that was last summer, I dont play much on pokerstars and I am not sure if they are still running.

Well good luck trying to grind micros, like most people said, they can be very frustrating, then the reward is small and almost not worth it when you can win one

#14 1st May 2009, 4:12 AM

Yes they still have the double up tourneys. I don't play them becaus i am still learning the basics of Sit and Go 9 player tournaments. Doing just barely ok. Finaly got up to 80 dollars going take a break for a bit.

#15 1st May 2009, 12:24 PM

Went on tilt dropped down to 60 .. gonna take a break for a few days.

#16 1st May 2009, 7:11 PM

I wish u good luck. Also a piece of advice bad beats are going happen in the micro stakes and dont focus on that to much instead focus on if you played it right and if not what would u have done different. That helped me out a lot and still does. I know when i had bad beat over and over it had me questioning my own poker abilities. Just play straight solid poker and dont try anything fancy because it over ppl's head and they will call u down with random hands. Well i hope that helps.

#17 8th May 2009, 2:37 AM

Tried some cash games got my but kicked. Down to 89cents. but can still come back gonna try the ten cent tourneys
