Yesterday I played my first ever real money online games. I had accumulated 300k in chips on poker stars and decided if this site really came up with the goods. So I added LAN7X7 and after some talking on msn I transfered him 250k on PS and within 5 minutes I got the $2.50 in return. Together with my 2 freeroll cashes early last month I had $2.88.
So my first cash ring games where on the lowest limit I could find being 0.01/0.02 6max. My second table was already profitable as I doubled up my BR for about $5. Then I started reading some BR management posts and I figured out I needed 10$ to play comfortably on this limit. Unfortunately the next hour or so at the 9 handed tables i was completely card dead and probably playing TOO tight. So I blew most of my BR on overplaying aces up and middle pair. Until i had $0.70 left and shoved it to double up. This happened but wasn't enough to get me back to my $5 and I lost it all on the next 6 max table I tried.
So after this long story my question to you: Was $2.50 too low a BR to start with ? Should I therefor play another month or 2 on PS playmoney to gather 1 mil? (=$10)
