Thanks so much all for the posts. I have been concentrating on cash games lately, had a real good streak where I was leaving every game ahead, always 2-4¢ nlhe and maximum buy in. Sometimes a little ahead and sometimes 2-3 x my buy in. Then the downswing started, no cards at all, all my bluffs called, when I did land a premium hand it always got suked out - 2x AA cracked by donk hands in a short period, lost 2 buy ins on these 2 hands alone - so I think a round of SNGs would be a welcome break...lol
Dj11, BR is now $45 (down from 75, where it was 3 days ago...) I played play money a lot for close to 2 months b4 my first deposit. I was winnig real good, and found real money a totally different animal. I feel that I am a real beginner, but see improvments slowly coming, so want to keep plugging at it on the micro tables for money, the game is so different when the money is real, and I think, even with a -ROI, I am getting better, and see this low stakes play as my "tuition". Yesterday I played 2 sng, buy in $1. 1st in 1, 2nd in other. So that helps the confidence 4 sure. I have dabbled in the past in 3$ and 5$, did ok in 3, but in the end probably -ROI, never was ITM on 5, am I correct in thinking stay at 1$ (even tho the rake makes it hard to build BR even with +% wins)untill BR is at, say 100, then try the 3$? or should I try 3$ if I am ITM say 60+% after maybe 20 games or so?
And, although this has already been touched on above, what about small MTT, like 4x 6 players, or 2x6/2x9? There are 2$buy in for these at PKR, with the same basic player type, but much better ROI. Is my BR ok with that? Is this a dumb fish question I should have kept to myself?? lol Or stay at STT for now? And it seems the consensus is 9 - 10 seaters.?. & not recomended for what reason? - just curious about this, will take the advice and stay for the moment at 1$ full ring STTs-..
thanks again
