looking for the right game ?

I want to ask everyone , What no limit holdem game could someone play given the statement thats been made on a recent thread today that if your a good player you should win little at a time"..

What no limit holdem stakes could you play to make the same as a minimum wage full time job (UNITED STATES) with less amount of time? Meaning I want to play higher limits so i can quickly reach my goal and stop. When I reached MY VERY LOW GOAL OF SAY 60.00 TO 100.00 A DAY I can leave the table for the day.. So again witch is the lowest stakes game but high enough to reach 60.00 to a hundred dollars within 6 hours of play

Like in my local casino 1-2 table 60 dollar buy in max I can make like 100 and go home very easily. I know their is a difference in competition online vs live and i know the micro tables at 25c 50c the buy in is much higher than that live table at my casino at 1-2 max buy in of 60.00..

So for online what No limit holdem game can i play to equal that situation in my live game 1-2 60$ max buy in that I can easily play solid and make a few more dollars a day than minimum wage full time job ?

It all depends on your winrate because each player is different based on their game, how many tables they are playing, etc. I would probably say that multi-tabling somewhere between 5NL and 10NL would be your best bet with being on par with minimum wage(I actually can't remember what it even is anymore). I know with someone who is a very good 25NL player could make a living off their play. Hope that helped....

Deposit $500 online and see how you do at either $10nl or $25nl ... only way you will find out.

Isn't that against banroll managment ? Or do i just buy into the table for less than max buy inn ?

Don't listen to him as yes it is terrible BRM. First, you're going to want to start very low because the quality of play online far exceeds the play live. Many people suggest that to start out, you should take the stakes you're playing live and divide them by 100 to get the same quality play stakes online, so in your case that would be 2NL(.01/.02) to start off with.

I am sure you are right absoluthamm.. I have been playing micro's and I have been watching 1.00 - 2.00 tables and it seems the higher you go the less grinders are you find.

Why is it online games you can buy in for way way larger amount's than at a casino ? I,m not complaining because i used to complain that I couldn't buy in at that 1-2 table for more than 60 ! lol ...

So because online buy inns are so much higher even if you have 500.00 and you want to play with BRM than you have to play .05 .10 ? wow that sucks lol.

There can be different reasons for what the buyin limits are. For example, I think in Florida the max you can buying ANY game for is like $100. Doesn't matter if it is $1/$2 or $10/$20 so many times you will see people who first put their chips at the table push all in with any decent hand just so that they can get some chips behind them and work the table a little more.
