thanks

what place you recommend to play .10/.20 at for beginners?

[AncientPC]

Pacific, Prima, Paradise, and Ultimate Bet all offer .10/.20 limit I believe.

The first three are pretty soft, the last three offer Poker Tracker support.

where in BABFN does it advocate whoring crpyto with a 40BB bankroll? OP says he has $80 to start...risk of ruin too high.

I would build up at micros first sans bonus or rake, and then refer to Homer at around the $200 threshold.

There is one bit of advice that does not quite jive right with me. Specifically with me is the starting recemmondation to start with the Cryptos (because they have the lowest caps on bonuses), but if you need to stay as low as possible you won't really have the bankroll cover your play, as the sites have one dollar as the lowest limit.

I guess the question here is if you're trying to initially learn or if you have enough experience to play well enough to bonuswhore and not lose out.

Play for play money and in freerolls first. Learn to beat horrible players who don't care first. I recommend Ultimate Bet's play money tables and freerolls.

You could play for real $ first, but I think it is good to get in the habit of making sure you are a winning player. This is more important than the $0.25/hour you could be pumping out of a penny-ante table from Day 1 without knowing what you are doing. You could also play well for that level and lose by luck. It's pretty hard to lose for hours at the play money tables if you play properly.

i hear play money is terrible to learn to play. you get into bad habits, etc. and peole play too crazy.

your better off playing .02/.04 and up
