Default Which tables and what bankroll to start with as a beginner?

I'm fed up with the play money tables and refuse to play them anymore. I'm sick of everyone calling everything. Just wondering what the smallest size table money wise you guys would reccomend starting at and what my bankroll should start off as. I want to improve as a player and the play money thing just isn't cutting it anymore. TIA

Paradise, UBet, and Pacific have microlimits (as low as .02/.04 or $2 NL buy-in).

Go with whatever you feel comfortable depositing 300BB for.

I think $60 for .10/.20 is a good start, or maybe $120 for .25/.50.

I apologize but what does 300 BB mean exactly?

It's ambiguous, but for limit my understanding is it always refers to big bets, i.e. twice the big blind. I try to write "BBet".

They are right I am wrong.

I think Big Bet but somehow always type out Big Blind.

300 big bets -- if the limit is $0.02/$0.04, then 4 cents is the big bet. If the limit is $10/$20, $20 is the big bet.

It's not your fault, but we really need an FAQ in this forum.

In this context,

BB = Big Bet

For example: at .50/1.00 limit, 1 Big Bet is 1.00 therefore, your bankroll should be $300 or 300 Big Bets.

Don't confuse this with Big Blind which is also called BB.

Harrah's Las Vegas, the $2/$4 table minimum buy-in is $20. That's 10 X's the big blind. So what you're reccommending is a $1600 bank roll? Wow!
