oober noober
So I’ve been listening to the duece plays podcast for a while and I finally joined Deuces Cracked today. Maybe it will be an interesting experiment, seeing if I can learn and embrace new strategies and verbage. I’ve been reading 2X2 books for several years and have done fairly well in small stakes tournies in nearby casinos and home games. But I want to learn to be a winning online player, even at micro stakes… most of my online play has been small deposits and playing small tournies. From what I’m hearing, seems most guys prefer to grind the ring games because of less varience and quicker climbs.
Soooo….where should I start? How much of an initial deposit should I make?
I started watching Wilt on Tilt’s micro nl series today and it was really good but also kind of what I expected. One thing is that I play on a Mac and don’t have all the pc software. I have downloaded Poker Co-Pilot for the Mac and have just experimented a bit at .001/.002 and I’m really enjoying the hud! How have I played without a hud to this point?!?
There you have it. Anybody who could help a poor donkey out will reap the benefits of beautiful karma and if you help me become a money winner I might just send you out a lovely care package. Maybe.
peace,
bp

I definitely think you should start with NLHE 6-max.. such a wealth of info out there and the variance isn't too bad. Start with the 10NL game. It is extremely beatable. Try throwing on $250-400 to play safely at this level.

It really all depends on your skill level and bankroll. If you are new to 6max NLHE online, I would watch the From The Ground Up series. Wilt's micro NL series is very good, but may not be where you want to start. If you have some experience w/ 6max, then that is a great place to start.
I would start at the lowest stakes where you actually respect the $. If playing 5NL (big blind = $.05) is too small for you to take it seriously, move up until you reach the point where you can take it seriously. Try to stay at the lowest possible for a good while until you feel comfortable and are winning over a good sample. Then, once you are ready, move up and repeat.
Hope that helped!
