Default Re: Trying to gear down/\"learn\" limit

IMO, for internet play, the style of play advocated in SSHE works best at .50/$1.00 or higher at full-table, and $1/$2 or more short-handed. To tell you the truth, I have never came close to making money at the micro-micro's. When I started, I played too tight and had too many "bad beats." I made the "classic" mistake of moving up the limits to escape the bad beats, but as I appeared to get just as many in higher limits while starting to make a profit, I never went back. It's hard enough to put a player on a hand at $0.50/$1.00, it's near impossible in the lower limits.

I also think fuller tables are better for beginning limit because you can play tighter as you are paying less blinds. $360 seems fine for $1/$2 full-table Lim Hold'em, with the proviso of being careful. At $1/$2, you are beginning to play opponents who take the game seriously, which is both good and bad.
