New $5+.50 player
(I have read the FAQ's, but this is only my 2nd post. Please be nice [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
My current bankroll is around $55. I don't really want to go through the hassle of depositing more through neteller, but I really want to try some STT's (As opposed to the $1+.20 45 person MTT's I am currently running.) I Have about 200 $1's under my belt, and this took me from $35 to $55. I don't have poker tracker, but I have recorded some results in a spreadsheet. I have a pretty good grasp of pot odds, Fold Equity, and when to start "Pushbotting". If anyone has experience going from $1 to $5, or general experience with $5's, I would love to hear from you. Any other missing information you might need, please ask. Thanks for all your kind replies [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: New $5+.50 player
Thanks so much for all your replies- the first guy really had me worried that this thread would just be flamebait.
The 1c/2c suggestion I might try, but I always seem to do poorly in ring games. Maybe the donks calling with A-rag will help out?

Tight early, push late. Don't be afraid to fold a good hand if there's a good chance you're beat. Listen to the warning bells and take their chips later. Discretion is the better part of valor.

Re: New $5+.50 player
Read those links, and other posts, in order to improve your game. In terms of bankroll, you definitely have the risk of ruin with only a 11 buy in roll. If you play goot, you will be okay. The play quality will be as bad as you can imagine.

Re: New $5+.50 player
I've actually already seen those links, thanks for the repost though. I guess I'll give a few a try, see how it goes.
With my BR, how many SNG's can I safely play, then call it quits? I'm guessing play 4-5 to gauge how I stack up to the general playerbase?
