srvboy 0 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Been playing freeroll tounies for the last year and have just started consistently reaching the final tables. So I now want to start a BR and play for money, my BR will be starting at $50. So should I stay with tournies, or move to low level cash games?? Link to post Share on other sites
shrimp4789 0 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 cash games without a shadow of a doubthit them hard, but play within your BR Link to post Share on other sites
No_Neck 0 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 cash games are more profitable but there very few feelings like winning a big donkament. Link to post Share on other sites
shrimp4789 0 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 yes but with a $50 BR, its not likely that he will cash, or enough times to sustain the br. dont get me wrong im not saying dont play MTTs, but build your br via cash games, THEN play some mtts....imo Link to post Share on other sites
srvboy 0 Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 So in your opinion what would be my stakes range for a $50BR??I play with Ultimate Bet. Link to post Share on other sites
shrimp4789 0 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 i think $0.05/$0.10 is the highest your looking at for now...... Link to post Share on other sites
No_Neck 0 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 how low can you go? Link to post Share on other sites

David_Nicoson 1 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I started by depositing $100. I lost $96 the first night playing 0.10/0.25. My first instinct was to redeposit and try again, but I decided I had things to learn at the lowest cash level. (5 million play chips doesn't prove anything.) I worked my current bankroll up from that $4 playing 0.01/0.02.If I had it to do over again, I would skip the losing $96 part and go straight to the penny game.I think that's a good route. Show yourself that you can beat the penny game first. Link to post Share on other sites
oldirtyharry 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 i think $0.05/$0.10 is the highest your looking at for now......Im assuming you play NL, is so this is terrible advice. If I were you I'd wait and deposit $200, take advantage of a 100% sign up bonus and play 10NL. Add a table or two once you get comfortable and play a few thousand hands or so.edit- and if your final tabling freerolls on stars and fulltilt consistently then you may just be the second coming of christ. Seriously. Don't they have like 10,000 entrants every time? Link to post Share on other sites

Show yourself that you can beat the penny game first. I usually put in 25 to 50 bucks..each time.. In doing so I have lost a little more than 3k in the past year. But i went to the mgm and won 307.00 in about 10 hours at casino poker. I wish i could do that more. I feel more confident and less skeptical when playing in a real table game. I've won and took the top 3 in tons of cash evens unfortunately, they don't pay squat. I have yet to do well in a 20.00 tourney where top prize is a couple grand. I did get 3rd in a 36 dollar sit n go though for 90 bucks win lol I'm trying to give up online poker. I don't know how people who aren't affiliated with the sites do it. I watch this one guy on pokerstars constantly in the money in big money tournies. I think he was in the final table of the pokerstars sunday million 2 weeks ago. pisses me off to see this. All the advice I use from the pros and stuff never gets me to the final table in a big tourney. My best finish for over 1000 people other than 1st round satellites, is a 1202 person freeroll where I won an absolute poker hat for 5th place. Anyhow. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites
srvboy 0 Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 Well, I've been playing $.05 / $.10 NL Hold'em cash games and have built my BR by 12%. I'm going to continue these stakes until March, to see whether I'm consistantly winning, then I'll step up.Cheers for the help. Link to post Share on other sites
showstopper24 0 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Can someone tell me if you agree with this?I think pokerstars is better for tourney's sng's but fulltilt is better for cash games.Also if i want to play 1-2$ which site should i play? Link to post Share on other sites
UncleCollins 0 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 With $50 I wouldn't recommend you play any mtts other than a scattered $2 or $3 one. I would recommend you play a combination of $5 single table sngs and .05/.10 NL hold'em cash games. Moreso the $5 sngs though, they are more profitable and are ridiculously easy.
