Sorry, I mean where there is a big blind of $2 and a small blind of $1 with a $2 bet on flop, then a $4 bet on the turn and river cards. Now, that I think about it, this is allot of bets for only having $50. I will play lower than this, thanks.

Ronald,

If you are going to start playing for real money, please play .05/.10 at pacific or some other really low limit. Buy and read Winning Low Limit Holdem and Small Stakes Holdem (later when you have more experience). Win 300 big bets($30) at that limit and then move up to .10/.20. This may sound like dumb advice but its the best way to go if all you have done is play some play money NL. My girlfriends 10-year old brother currently has over 5 million in play chips at party. That was how I started a year and a half ago and I'm doing just fine now. Like you said you dont have that much money and to be properly bankrolled for 2/4 you need 1200 available. Doesnt sound like you have that.

So try starting at .05/.10 with $50 and getting to $80 or better before moving up. Post hands here and get help with your game. Limit is not to learn and its not comparable to NL play money at all.

Ronald, why don't you just send me your money now. Save yourself the hassle of actually losing it at the 2/4 table.

Instead of that post how about something helpful?

With $50 the only limit you can really play is .05/.10. Yes thats nickel/dime. Its sounds like a waste of time but you HAVE to start low unless you are a prodigy with a lot of money to (possibly) lose. You have $50 so be smart.

If this is an available job, can someone let me know? I have played a small amount of play money NL hold em, but I watch tv poker almost everyday. In my opinion, if you can master no-limit, you can play the limited bets poker no problem.

If I said something wrong, I am sorry.

I am new to poker, so I am going to make mistakes. I watch poker with my folks almost everyday. Because I played lots of other games, I thought poker would not be too hard. Since last night, I have been reading more on this site, and I now see a lot of wrong ideas I had. For example, a game that seems small like two-dollar and four, is not really that small in respect to the right amount of bankroll.

I see that I need hundreds of dollars to correctly fund for that game.

I will play at much lower limits to begin. I am only doing this for fun, and I don't want to lose too much.

Most of you don't need to worry, because I will not be posting very much. I was just interested in the topic of house money players.

It's not really judging. Nearly all his posts are very trollish and are bothering people. They can respond as they wish.
