Played internet poker for the first time today!

Ok thanks, but do sites have that low of a limit? At PartyPoker where I initially played the lowest limit I could find was .15/.25.

Ok here's the shocker, really GREAT poker players STILL have nights where they lose money, in fact, sometimes they still lose big.

Yeah, with a $180 roll you don't want to start at the party skins, especially because you need at least $500 to take full advantage of the bonuses there. See Homer's Bankroll building for newbies post, or bonuswhores.com for more information. But yeah, there are plenty of sites with limits that low. Off the top of my head, pokerstars does, but they dont' have a bonus right now.

Hey, it doesn't make us fish that once in awhile we have a session where we only break even.

Nivek,
1. For limit holdem, you should have 300 BB(big bets) in your bankroll for whatever stakes your playing(not mandatory, but highly recommended).
2. Get pokertracker.
3. Don't move up in limits without 300 BB for the next limit.
4. For limit, read "small stakes hold'em" by Ed Miller.
5. For no-limit, you're on your own, however Harrington on Holdem Vol I & II are excellent and highly recommended by many. Although primarily for tournaments, many feel the concepts apply to cash games also. Don't know what you need for a bankroll for NL.
6. Post hands on the forum for help.
7. Get rakeback.
8. Whore the bonuses.
9. Cold cards happen to us all(me more than most).

Good Luck.

Al

I would recommend partypoker for new players, as the Beginners rooms there are extremely soft, you'll be facing only the most clueless opponents.

And partypoker now has no limit tables in the beginners rooms with a $5 buy in where the blinds are 2 cents/4 cents, I believe. Man, those are some bad players there.
