I think you will need to have 100BB on each table, and probably twice that still in your account on standby. I'm sure no expert, so lets see what others say. For me I play tight no matter. I can't say much about the hours, because I don't grind like many players here. Just don't play only poker with your time. If you set those hours aside for poker, only play at that time. Then get out and do other things. I hardly set aside 4 hours, because I get tired and start playing stupid LOL

Hay welcome to the poker world Under The River. I'm a semi pro, so I might have a few tips to helping you get started. First of all your in the micro stakes, you should strive to be a student of the game. Pick one format/game type and stick with it you can switch it up after you found your sweet spot- consistent steady profits. Secondly your going to want to play a single table to minimize your mistakes and variance. This sounds horrendous I know, but once again your looking at quality vs quantity here and this will help you when you review your session like you should be doing every 2-3 days later = less hands more focusing on the few you've played instead of skimming through. Next if you are new to online poker you will get slaughtered playing 10NL, you should start at the bottom 2NL/9max. Online poker is ahead of the live poker world, we play more hands and put in a lot more volume with momentum. Thirdly I would recommend 25/50 buyins for cash games and 75/100 for tournaments. This may sound a bit nitty, but I'm a part time grinder so works for me. Lastly you need $100 for 2NL, $250 for 5NL, $500 for 10NL to even out the variance in the long run. You could cut these amounts in half, but I wouldn't go much lower than that, the short term swings can be a bitch. Sorry I was on my iphone this looks bad I bet Good Luck 🍀

I agree with deceptionist99 on the size of your BR. However, I play with less because I do have a little experience. Again GL

I play my bank level is above 100 blinds and is a good way of not getting to 0 again and going back to the free

To have the best sessions, I would recommend that you study your game first. Learn what puts you on tilt, first. Then learn to fold often, especially in micro stakes. One thing that helped me was grading each hand that I played, and learning about FSI, I think it stands for fast selectivity index. It's worth a google.

I am no expert but I believe that you should be studying 75% of the time and playing 25% of the time early on. I found watching content and streams have made me a way better player. There are numerous books and videos that you can read/watch that will make your game better.
