Default Who\'s crushing the rock gardens?

I'm looking for someone who is beating the Ex-skins 18/8 type tables to review a couple of sessions for me. For about 50k hands, I was very close to 3BB/100 playing mostly .5/1. Lately, I have been really struggling with the Rock Gardens full of TAGs. It seems that I am having a hard time with the adjusments that need to be made to deal with the ever popular 18/8 tables. So I'm looking for someone who is having success to review a few sessions and point me in the right direction. Anyone who is interested, just PM me.

100% correct. You are damaging your bankroll growth by continuing to play. One of the most important things any poster here will tell you is that table selection is extremely important.

Not as important at .5/1 as at 5/10.

I don't see why. Are you saying this because of a larger playerbase at 0.5/1 than 5/10?

because the good players at 5/10 are much better than the good players at .5/1

Seat selection is farther up on my list than table selection. But at .5/1 there just aren't that many 'good' players. Get reads on your opponents (how many times do you read this statement in various posts) and learn how to handle specific scenarios against certain types of players. You aren't gonna play against LPP's forever you know. Better to learn how to handle a 'TAG' on the cheap.

But of what import is bankroll growth at micro limits? Any decent McJob will replenish a micro bankroll in a week.

I bring this up to ask, is there anything to learn (cheaply) at the rock gardens? Is it better to learn now, when it's cheap, or to wait til I get to 10-20 to learn it? I would think that if you can beat rocks now, you'll move up faster in the future.

Maybe I take BR at the micros so seriously because I built my BR from the micros. Work sucks. I'd take $4/hr playing hold'em while learning how to play well on the go, so I can play for $50/hr in the future.
