Hi Morbo,

If you're just starting out, I'd actually suggest playing SNGs (sit-and-go tournaments) rather than ring games, for a couple of reasons.

First, a SNG has a built-in stop loss; you can't lose more than the tournament buy-in. Yes, it also has a max profit, but while you're learning the stop loss is probably more important.

Second, each SNG offers wide range of situations: deep stack, short stack, full table, short-handed, very loose tables, very tight tables, etc. This allows you to work on all of the various skills you'll need in ring play, and it forces you to attend and adapt to changing situations.
