i am thinking about switching to cash games online because i have not been doing so well at tournaments recently. i have just under $500 and read somewhere that i could be playing $0.10/0.25- buying in for $25 i assume. this seems crazy as if i am like 8 tabling this is almost half of my bankroll! and sometimes i as much as 14 table- but this is usually more for mtt's where there isn't a lot of thought tbf.
i have played cash before, i usually win when i play live and have won online in the past, but anyway, what should i play? cheers!

Start at 10nl imo. That gives you plenty of cushion at 1st and then if you do well initially you can move up. Wouldn't recommend more than 4 tables to start either.

I agree, play 10nl until you have at least 650, and a bb/100 of 5 over a large sample.

i played this morning and turned a slight profit. up about $15 over 4 tables of nl $10 after the session despite losing 2 big pots. i quite like these games so i am going to stick with them until, as you say, i get up to around 650 (hopefully).

Good! it's not easy at these stakes to get started because suckoutw happen very often, and when you just start out, you're going to lose a lot while on tilt.
(at least I did, well, I actually still do sometimes =p
anyway, try to control it, and good luck!
