Default Re: Just Starting Out - Any Advice?

Playing at play money tables is pretty much worthless. It seems like you have a decent amount of money so I would suggest starting at .5/1. A winning player really only needs about $300-$500 to play at that level so you should be more than fine. Start at a level and move up as your bankroll allows. Try to avoid going bust once you start moving up (be willing to drop back down).

Search the forums as there are plenty of posts about bankroll requirements for varying types & limits of poker. Experience is best way to learn. Get pokertracker and start online. Read these forums and a post hands you are unsure about. Grow a tough skin and be ready to be willing to learn instead of going into defensive mode like many new posters do when people criticize their game. Good luck.
