Re: Advice to people stuck @ the small stakes too long
I've found that I have more success at SH games than full games. What does that mean??

Re: Advice to people stuck @ the small stakes too long
Finding the best game does not mean making the most $$. I can beat a .02/04 game for 10 bbs/100 but I can beat a 3/6 game for 2 bbs/100 and the winrate isn't even close.
My post isn't meant for those of you who are happy grinding out a few extra $$/hr @ 2/4 or 3/6. It was meant for those who desire to move up the limits and develop their poker skills beyond what they need to do @ the LLs

Re: Advice to people stuck @ the small stakes too long
All depends on your roll and comfort level. I'd recommend a minimum of 500BBs to play b/c swings of +/- 100BBs are very common and 200+ BB swings are also somewhat common. I'd start @ 3/6 if you have the roll for it but starting @ 1/2 is fine too. The key is just to get comfortable and move up to 3/6 or 5/10 6 max.
To succeed at these games you will have to learn the finer points of blind stealing and defending. These skills will serve you well when you decide to switch back to full ring and climb up to 10/20 and up.

Re: Advice to people stuck @ the small stakes too long
Thanx for the complement. I just need to build up the roll to sustain the swings, thats the key for me b/c I can't reload like a lot of the people w/full time jobs. I'll be moving up soon enough though.

I like SH games because they are a more challenging and fun than the full games. In a 10 handed game, people just sit tight and wait to raise with their AK. In SH, you have to be more creative, and know when your mid pair is good. [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img]
