I have known for a while that cash games are my downfall. But, I have been plugging away at it, so I can improve. Lately, I have been doing the 5c/10c FLHE tables, and more often than not, I have been coming out ahead. The 2c/4c tables still kill me, but at least I have found a level where I'm able to go up more often than not.
I also have found more success at .05 .10 than .02 .04 ... I know that my BR doesn't support this level but if it works oh well...
I would recommend small stakes mtts.... online cash is mainly breakeven to 10bb/100 which makes it very hard to move up. It might take years.
Small stakes MTT's can help build your bankroll. Even 6c or 10 cent tourneys, you can have a great roi and move into a 25 nl or 50 nl where rakeback will help your roll enough to build.
Sit n' Go are probably the easiest way to make money when you have some money. Make it in first out of 9 and you triple your bankroll.
Cash games can be brutal, especially in micro stakes, some players play like it's play money.
cash games are good only at higher stakes
cash games are so criminal ,,, you have to be a lot of money to can play cash ,,,,,,,,,,i dont like it ,,,,,,,,,,,,:cool:
I guess there is money to be made at any level, but at these low levels, it is sure a grind
best way to lose your whole br in one session :PQuote:

Victor7: Usually I would say the same thing, that SNGs are a great way to build bankrolls, but I'm finding that in Lock, it is a lot harder field than any other site I've been on. The play is a lot tougher, with a 9 man SNG taking over an hour to get just 2 people KOd. This has happaned to me on more than one occassion.
WILD: They can be brutal at the 2c4c, which is why I started doing the 5c10c. There are still some people playing like its nothing, but there is also better play available.
BradysDad: It definitely is a grind lol
lmao i need to print one of those the people i deal with every dfay lolzQuote:

rungood, once I have a bankroll again, I'll take a look at some of the MTTs and see what's available.
Limit hold-em is a game of discipline. The levels at the extreme low end (anything under $1/$2) are brutal, in that you cannot expect your opponents to be playing the disciplined form of poker that creative players learn to exploit. The only way to beat these games is to behave like a bot, no fancy plays EVER. Considering the low expected return, you could be farming ticks for a long time. If you want to improve your cash game skills against a reasonably minded field you should consider investing out of pocket if needed to sit in some .25/.50 games. It may seem like strange advice but I assure you the game will play much more like a real limit poker table.
good luck in making bancroll in micro cash
Iwaslion, if I could deposit, I would. Otherwise, I need to do some freerolls and win to get it. And Bakreni12, I'm gonna need it lol
Gonna be starting with $1.00 again on Lock, so we'll see how well I can make it grow, or if I go busto again pretty quickly
cash game is the good game for wineer money
I like the micro omaha8, and stud8 when ya can find them(bovada) ya run into some that really dont understand the games.
Wykydsceptre, I'll take a look into that, thanks for the idea
