| First Cash Game 2nl Now that i reached $30, I began to start playing cash games at ft. I only one tabled because I wanted to focus on the players at the table. I managed to break even at 190 hands with my best hole cards being TT. Then, finally, I get aces on the co. FINALLY! Guy UTG+1 raises 3x BB I 3-bet to 10xBB. He shoves I call. QQ vs AA and he hits on flop. So when I finally get my monster, I lose. Very Frustrating start. I just stopped cuz i sensed i would go on tilt. had -$.93 session. If I won hand, woulda been up a dollar. I definitely thought some donk would be pushing with ace rag or top pair but no one I played with did that. Is this just my luck or will there be a time when I'll make money off these types of donks? |

| Trust me you will find plenty of bad players in micro cash games. I will say that if you are coming from freerolls the standard of play is a little higher but you will find lots of fish. Pocket aces aren't a 100% lock. Your a big favorite but 20% of the time the villian wins. The nice thing about cash games is that when the villian sucks out you are not eliminated. Reload and keep playing. If he really is a fish you will get his money. GL |

| The standard of play varies at FT I've found - sometimes you get some incredible donks (who inevitably suck out on you) whilst other times the standard is pretty good. You did nothing wrong on the hand you described - just keep playing a solid TAG game and you should be OK. |

| yeah this is why most people multitabling these games, much less boring and quicker profit, and less frustrating when someone sucks out on you, try adding a table at a time until you cope with more maybe? Anyways you got your money in good so good move. |

| every hand and every table is different by wathing the way others play is a good thing to do... when the time is right a check raise will bring them down. If they think you are weak , its also good to mix up your style of play so that you cant be read easily...smiles... good luck at the tables |

| I didnt multitable because its the first time I've played a cash game with a bankroll. I used to take a dollar i won and play with it. I'll try 2 table today because I did alright considering the cards I played with. alot didnt go right and I almost turned a profit |

| i think $30 is definately fine to start 2NL, unless you get a sick 15 buyin losing streak which is unlikely, but theres no proper bankroll managment at 2NL you either can beat it and will make a reasonable bank roll or you arent a winning player and you will lose money no matter what your bankroll is. |

I just started playing cash games seriously myself today. 4 tabled 2nl for 305 hands. Finished plus $4.15. There are so many bad players at this level, fortunately my hands held up most of the time. |

| really? what was your name? I put in a strong c-bet so I thought he would throw ace rag and maybe had like 10s or JJ or even 98. lol ended my session -.20. i can never win with my monsters. AA vs A2 spilt on straight. I need some luck |

At 2nl, you should never expect that somebody will throw away A rag to a C bet. People just don't like to fold. Plus, you had to think he may have had A4, A8, or A9, giving him a pair on a flop and two pair on the turn. |

| Thanks matt, probably should have taken more time to think about it. Past three days I've gotten around 600 hands 2AA 1KK and 1 TT. Its frustrating when you have to play with all these raises all ins and 3 bets with AT, KJ, 98s etc. a lot of sideline watching. I'll look out for ya next time matt. |

| just an update 100 hands in an hour and I got all my losses back this week plus $.40. won with AA>98s with 93K flop. But the big winner was 88 with 7 people seeing flop. Flop is 885. QUADS!!!. i check to see if anyone bets. no. then turn is a 2. utg bets, mid position shoves, I call, utg shoves, I call. 88>22>J5. Finally I get lucky and run into some donks. |
