Low buy-in NL cash games

[Penguinfan]

Good post Meloris.

RD, right now I am talking $25 NL, with my little toe in the water at $50 NL and I don't see much difference.

Everyone loves tournaments, so do I, but I have figured out that ring games are where the steady profits are at, so after deciding to sign up for CardRunners and being determind to win at cash games I am honestly starting at the low levels and gonna work my way up.

I know it won't be easy, and it is frustrating to play for 2 hours, have a decent session and bank $20 for the effort, but it is what it is. This is how I started sports betting, honestly found a book that would take $5 wagers, after years I was up to $200 a game, although now (for other reasons) I am back to $100 a game.

I know I have what it takes to grind away, just a matter of doing it.

I don't know if this is still applies, but I like this from 2+2

I definitely agree with that, for the following reason:

The players at those levels are mostly, as you mentioned, not exactly impressive poker minds. Since everyone gets good cards and bad cards pretty equally, all you have to do is make more money on your good cards and lose less on your bad ones. If youre up against a table of fish, there is no need to outplay them, because 95% of the time, if you hit that monster, youre setand will get paid off plenty to come out ahead overall. Once players are getting better (100 NL and above), you have to make some of that money when you dont have the nuts, i.e. take more risks, and try to outplay people postflop.
