Playing online...

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.
