WHAT??

So a complete stanger to the game should just sit with a table full of seasoned pros "because they have the money to cover the losses" they WILL have?

IF you are a solid player THEN you just take into account your bankroll to determine what limit you play (along with other factors such as being able to judge yourself back down if you are getting hammered before you go broke).
If you don't know how to play you HAVE to learn at a reasonable level before moving up too high.

Now, TP has a point that your wayward Dr. should not start at .25/.50 limit. Key being reasonable level for what you are comfortable with. I suppose there are millionaires out there who could give a shit less if they take a $10,000 beatingevery night but that is not the same as someone who wants to build a bankroll (regardless of the limit) and learn the game.

your really think that guy is gonna learn good poker at 1/2? He has the bankroll to handle the losses and then rebuy in with little worry. 110k a year dont think losing a little bit is gonna bother him too much when he is getting much better then he would at 1/2.

Having played up to 5/10, I would say any level under that is the same. I.E. The skill jump is not soooooo great that I would be scared to play. The 5/10 adds ALOT of aggression and you really have to play alot better. People pay more attention. You can not just wait for aewsome hands and bet out. It gets tougher. Anything 3/6 and down though I would play except .50/1 which drives me crazy.

Fuck that. LOL. I tried a session of $3/6 short tonight after clearing the Party bonus...

-the play was FAST - unusually fast.
-at least one person raised preflop. everyhand.
-lots and lots of three-betting and raising (in general).


^^ This isn't to say that I'm not comfortable w/ that, but it IS different than your run-of-the-mill $1/2 game.

The session went well... nabbed 7BB's in about 15 minutes, cashed out. On the first hand, I lost $25, so it was good to quit ahead. I cashed out quickly... there's no reason to play 6max on Party if I can play it on UB and get rakeback.
