1. What should i play? Cash games or SNG?
I have a limited bankroll and i was thinking that playing 2NL, grinding it out as a TAG would be better.
2. Since i will play 2NL most likely, should i play multiple tables or should i start at a single table and be patient until i am ready to add more? When should i add more? When did you? When do you think one is ready to handle several tables?
3. Please don't jump on me for this one. It is simply a question. Should i bluff at all?
I mean let's say i start with a decent set ak or aq maybe. Flop come and i miss it + rainbow flow. I make the c bet. I get called or even worse reraised. What then? Do i cut my losses and wait until they take them out later? With 8 outs would it be wise to continue vs fish who might call if they have 2nd or lowest pair? What does your experience say?
4.How do i deal with statistics?
I was making a dry run and watching the tables i might join then i had to wonder. There are tables with an average pot of 0.86 but a high number of players post flop. That means i might get called more and more by them. Indeed that means high revenue,but at the same time even if i flop AA, with 3-4 players in,i hold a chance of 60% AT BEST to win the pot.
Low average pot and low pot size means that it's a table full of rocks or tight player?
Tell me what should i choose.
5. What is rake?
I get what rake is but what i don't get is how it's calculated. I got an email with a 10$ bonus and was told that after 14 days it will disappear unless i bring in 1$ rake? What does that mean? Is it hard to do?
6. What goals should i set?
I saw and read that goal setting is good and improves your discipline. What goal should i set? Should it be money wise like make x more money and be at y sum by the end of the week/month? Wouldn't that make me more likely to enter loose hands and lose money in the long run due to the added pressure?
Should it be something like: Win 100bb, Win 500bb?

I will not proceed until finishing reading Crushing the microstakes again. I would really appreciate constructive answers or criticism. "how could you not know" doesn't really help me learn any better.
Thanks in advance
P.S.: Yes i know 2nl may seem futile for most,but i prefer being careful with money. If i am not i could just be blowing my whole bankroll with a all in preflop with A8o from early position hoping that the ace will save me.
