choongi 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Just like to share my success at micro stakes tables...Started off on the $0.02/0.04 tables, 4 tables, only a brief 45 minute session but I walked away with respectable profit. Nothing too big, but a small win is better than a large loss in my books :)When I first started I made the mistake of playing cash games out of my bank roll, then I discovered sit n go's.I've been doing ok at the sit n go's, but I thought I'd give the micro stake multi table approach ago, and so far I'm pleased with the results.Basically I'd just like to share my small win with you guys and hopefully I'll be on my way to starting up a serious bank roll and breaking even Link to post Share on other sites

choongi 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 I'm stuck about $240 since I first started in about November.If I knew what I do now back then, I doubt I'd have lost so much, but I'm sure we can all say that about everything.I'm chipping away at it slowly though, I'm sure I'll make it eventually.Would you guys say that it's better to bank first, or try and increase your bankroll and then bank...? So far I've opted for the former, trying to bank in $50 chunks, leaving myself with $30 or so to rebuild my roll. Link to post Share on other sites
RabidTortuga 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 If you don't need the cash, I wouldn't cash out anything until you're at a limit where the money becomes meaningful to you. I started at .02/.04 limit last year and didn't cash out til I hit .50/1. Now I cash out 50% of my profit each month as long as it's at least $100. Leaving the money in your roll just lets you move up to meaningful money faster. Link to post Share on other sites

TAGteam 0 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Leaving the money in your roll just lets you move up to meaningful money faster.i agree with this. no point in cashing out until i can do something with the profits imo. if i'd just deposited a large amount in the beginning i would have lost it all. i built my br up for a long time until i could withdraw 50% and still have enough to play at .50/1. gl Link to post Share on other sites

choongi 0 Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 yeah my success was shortlived...even though i haven't lost anything from a session, they haven't been the most profitable...i've run into aces with kings at least twice... pretty sicki'm loving these $11 double or nothing sngs though, my rolls almost up to $100...how much do you guys reckon i'd need to try the 0.05/0.10?i'm thinking $200?

strappazon 0 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I actually play at 0.02$ on PS. I started with a 40 bucks bankroll 7 days ago and i'm actually at $51+. I hate playing micro stakes : it looks to me that the only solution is to play only good/monster hands. So i spend most of my time waiting for a playable hand. I don't even try to bluff because most people will call you with any two cards. The only thing i do is a continuation bet on the flop if the board isn't too scary.Look like it'll take me MONTHS to gain the $100+ i need to play at 0.05$ I'd appreciate some tips and advices.ps : What does BB stands for ? and "ev"?

GreeneStreet 0 Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 What does BB stands for ? and "ev"?BB=big blind (or big bet depending on the conversation - I think it usually applies to limit and is 2x the big blind)EV=expected value (there are a lot of great threads in this forum on EV Link to post Share on other sites

strappazon 0 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yeah, but it seems to me they always chase a draw against the odds and finally catch it! LOL..so most of the time my good hands (like TPTK on the flop) turn into the weakest. Link to post Share on other sites
