[What Stakes Should I Be Playing At?]

I havent played online in a while, just a few home games and whatnot. But i re-downloaded Full Tilt and have been playing .25./.50 and i started with bout 18...but the ratio doesnt make sense. I am playing better here than i did at micro stakes and have doubled my 18 dollars. Is it more of a question about playing what im comfortable with?

[Won My First Sng...]

Ok thanks. I was hoping i won the hand. THere were a number of times i was the favorite in the hand and lost and battled back to my chip stack. And this would have been a great time to double up. I think back though and i know if i would have folded i could have made the final table and cashed...but i didnt. Oh well, i need to learn.

400-800...sorry, i forgot to post that. its been a while since ive posted here.

[Won My First Sng...]

Ive played about 8 Sngs and i finally won my first one and then i played decent in my next one and chopped. But i have a question about a play that i made in a previous tourney.Now this was at a live tourney and i was the chip leader at the table (2 tables left after 8 had been folded) and i had about 20k. The chip leader sits to my left and im the small blind. (Chip leader had about 60k) I pick up pocket Jacks and its folded around to me and i push and he calls me with AK. He wins and i bust out at about 15th. SHould i have waited for a better spot. I saw the chip leader play about 3 hands before this and hes pushed/called with hands from J8-AK,

[Need Help Depositing Money]

Lol I dont have a debit or credit card. So i just got back from buying a giftcard to deposit money on Poker Stars and i just tried and it didnt work. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hmm...If you have not played in a while, I am not that certain that you will be able to build the roll starting from just $20. But then again, it is better to deposit 20 and give it a shot, and then you can see where you stand and get the feeling for the games I guess. It is doable, but not very easy to achieve either. It will depend on many factors, and if it so happens that you hit a run of bad cards (coolers, bad beats etc), you might be down to 15-10 bucks in a matter of minutes. Just my opinion though. GL anyhow.

Ya, i got what your sayin. Im gonna give it a go. I mean if it fails this time around ill keep at it but look at my errors. I dont plan on builing a roll very fast. Especially at Micro Limits lol

[Getting Back Into The Game]

Ok, so i havent really played much in about 2 years. I was 16 and 17 when i started playing and i thought i was the shit. Lol after growing up i want to start playing again and i plan to within this week. I am just going to drop 20 dollars at PokerStars and play the Micro games (.1-.2) or the other micro limit games they(someone please post other limits for micro NLHE on Poker Stars). And maybe a 1 dollars SNG here and there. Is this ok to start at with just 20 dollars deposited? Im not really trying to catch a break or anything, i just think it would be fun to try and build something out of nothing and then be able to start doing it for profit....I shoulda mentioned earlier in the threead. I am 19(just in case you didnt want to go through the logic to figure ito ut)
