I would also not recommend micro-limits even though TP said they might help. They work just about the same as free money, even the no-limit games. Hell, even at .25/.50, the play is still not so great. I would start at .50/1.00 on PP, play tight like a virgin and people will pay you off.

LOL... Damn Canadians!
As for the micro-limits, I have never played them myself, but that HAVE to be better than play money, even if it's just a little. I was more suggesting playing those in order to build a bankroll, not to learn how to become a better player... It depends on how much you deposit, but I would think starting at .50/$1 or $1/$2 would be a reasonable starting place. Oh - and welcome to the forum! |

ChipFish, a little help here?!?
Actually Spidey, I believe, but I'm not 100% sure, that "favor" is indeed spelt with a u up here. I could be wrong. Nice catch though. You guys are lucky I'm in a very giddy mood today or I'd go medieval on your asses.  I'm upset now, I think I'll go smoke it off.But I suppose micro-limit could increase a bankroll a little, however you wouldn't be bonus-whoring in that case since the hands aren't raked. That and also get ready for a pile of bad beats. But yeah, I moreso used the micro-limit to learn O8B drawing odds, pot odds, and general board-hand reading. Anyway, made about $25 but studied the game for about 2 months on strictly micro-limit, and I'm talking a good 30 hours a week. I never went back to hold'em, and don't know now how comfortable I would even be at a no-limit table.

I can certainly testify to the fun of building a bankroll.
 Latest stop: InterPoker, up $310 in a week, not counting bonus which for some reason hasn't ticked at all yet. Also ahead at Gaming Club, with plenty of that $300 bonus to work off. Absolute has been slow though, haven't been playing as well there for some reason. |

definitely play for real money. there is really no point in playing the fake money tables. it will just create bad habits that you will then have to break in real money games. the only use for play money games is to help you understand the rules of a specific game (say if you wanted to familiarize yourself with omaha or stud), and that can be done just as easily at the micro limits.
take tp's advice here. there are so many deposit bonuses out there that as long as you can play close to break even poker, you can build your roll very quickly. play solid, tight poker, and you wil do well in the beginning. dont worry about fancy moves, just play it straight up. |
