how much money should i buy into pokerstars?


Recommended Posts

If you're still a novice, why not start at the penny games? It doesn't do any harm to start at the lowest limits. I started my online BR with a $10 deposit and played penny games. You learn the basics, move up a bit and your BR should slowly build with your skill. I'm glad I did that rather than go straight ahead and deposit $100 to play the 0.10/0.25c games.Just a thought.

Good advice, if you're a novice start as low as you can. Learn the basics and move up when you're a consistant winner. No need to lose money making mistakes at .10/.25 when you can do it at .01/.02 .

GAH!The 300XBB (BB here meaning Big Bet) rule is for LIMIT play.For NL, you want 1500XBB (Here it means Big Blind, OMG TEH CONFUSION), so to play at $.10/$.25 NL, you would want $375(!).And I do agree that there's no shame with starting off at the lowest limits and working up. Heck, see if you can't learn a new game at those low limits; you may pick up something you like (Both variants of micro-limit Omaha are gold mines if you're patient).

What about if I started at the .05/.10 ? I've played that and the .01/.02 on a 20$ buy in. The only thing lower than that is the 1 cent 2 cent and I don't think that is worth my time.
