I disagree with this. The lowest levels are a donkey fest. You will get 3 or 4 players calling to the river, hoping to get lucky.

I like playing 3/6 limit. Wait for good hands and go for it. I usually play with about $200 at the begininng. IMHO.

he said it was his first time..its much easier to get comfortable at a lower level and work your way up

if your gonna play a really loose table you dont really want to max buy in cause you wont be able to gamble comfortabley unless u dont mind losing your whole stack to preflop all ins. I always prefert a solid table with a couple donks here and there I pride myself on playing poker not gambling, so if its too crazy i wil find a better table.

can anyone telle me how is it possible that some people putt (preflop) all in (freeroll and sit and go) whit 63, when i have JJ or QQ or KK or AA.
and they catch a straight, two paires or flush.
Thats happends many times.
I think when i see players play like that, that i cant play poker !!!!!!!!!!!

Speedy what you are seeing is donks and freeroll whores especially in a free roll and especially early on in a freeroll these players hope to get lucky early and get a decent stack then play properly or at least what they think is properly. The sitnGos you are playing are probably very low stakes and in these low stake games and freerolls are where these people play all the time cause that type of play makes sure that their bankrolls stay at those stakes , try investing in a larger stake tournament and i assure you that the number of DONKS will decrease significantly! Just keep grinding it out and playing the better hands and in the long run you will come out ahead Good Luck in the future SPEEDY

i have always been very nervous about playing NL cash. i don't like putting too much money at risk on one turn of the card.

Your stack size should dictate how you play. You can have success playing as a short-stack in NL cash games. Buy-in for the minimum and play short-stack poker like you would with a low M in a tournament, suited connectors lose value and big pairs value go up, etc.. Your looking to get your money all-in early in the hand while your a favorite.

When playing nl cash it's important to control the image you put forth against your opponents. nuild an image and look for opportunities to exploit that.
