speedz99 145 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 lol, stupid way to up your post count, quote with nothing added?or reinforcing a well made point?Yeah, just to reinforce a well made point.To the OP, if you didn't figure it out, your bankroll is way too low for anything but microlimits. I play limit, but I believe for no-limit the popular idea is that you should have 1200xBB.Edit: That was post #500... and useful post #22 !!! Link to post Share on other sites

speedz99 145 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Ok, original poster, there it is. For your first attempt online, you need to expect that you will lose for the first few sessions. If you play .5-1 with only $50 you will go broke quickly. I'm not trying to be offensive, just realistic about the fact that you will be going up against experienced Internet players, and it is definately a different game than live poker.Play micro limits on Stars until you build up a big enough bankroll to move up. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites

Not just 1/2 mind you, but 1/2 NL.My offer to accept a $50 transfer and call back in the morning still stands. Link to post Share on other sites
Meatwad 0 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Definately look into ultimatebet because they have NL games with blinds as low as .01/.02 ($2 max buyin) so all those bankroll requirements people like to mention are easily met at those. $50 is pretty small to be starting at NL with .5/1 or 1/2 blinds because you can easily lose that in a bad beat and can't even buy in for the max. But hey it's your money play what you want. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just wondering which sites you think are the best.Thanks guys.CringesLike the others have said $50 is not even close to enough to play .25/.50 NL, not to mention 1/2 NL. You would be pot committed the 2nd hand you played if you lost the first one, stick to micro's especially if you haven't played internet poker before. My first $50 on party lasted 1 week, I had no clue what the hell I was doing. I'm still working with my 2nd deposit.There is a reason people preach bankroll management here, take the advice. $50 is enough for .01/.02 NL at Pokerstars , 05/.10 if you want to be risky.

KTW 0 Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 When you say 1,200xBB exactly what do you mean ? Overall BR or a big cushion so you won't ever go broke or what? So if someone plays $25/$50 NL they need $60k ? Later, Charles. 8) Link to post Share on other sites
