Hi all,
Hope everyone is well . I've never played poker at all so before I joined the CC community, I had to get myself upto scratch with all the poker terms & jargon used + BR management, plus I have saw lots of videos of how to play the game, etiquette and all that. I really enjoyed watching the Poker After Dark series on the net.
I was hoping I could start playing live cash games like £0.50/£1 and then onto £1/£2 and hoping to exploit the soft nature of those live games v in comparison to online (harder grind) to build my bankroll of few grand, but as a beginner im not too sure if it will all fare well for my bankroll. I have read alot on good BR management skills. The live Mtt's are pretty much out of my thinking due to variance and higher buy in's v online mtt's. So that brings my onto the online cash games and sng's with once in a while mtt's. Obviously im not looking to make a killing so to speak on all three fronts but im trying to choose from low stakes (not microstakes-they call with anything as ive heard) cash games and sit n goes with the odd mtt here and there. I was wondering which of the two (cash v tournaments) is the hardest for a newbie to learn and adjust to as well as wanting to advance through the levels. Ive read somewhere that its easier for a cash game player to adjust to tournaments than the other way round. Im also concerned about the integrity of the game involving collusion, bots etc and how much really of a help is it to purchase some good poker software such as HEM or Poker Tracker for a beginner to grind out a small/medium profit every month.
Thanks alot, hope to hear from as many people as possible to share some of their experiences.
