Message: [QUOTE="OzExorcist, post: 1541053, member: 23910"] Thanks for the comments guys - and to c9 and Belgo for introducing me to a meme I'd somehow missed :p That's a good example - don't get me wrong, BTW, I'm not saying don't go for bonuses. I'm just saying don't do stupid things to chase them like add more tables than you can profitably play or move up in stakes before you're rolled for it. Something like Take 2 was perfect because you could unlock it pretty easily playing your regular game at the lowest stakes. Obviously if you're already good enough to win in multiple games then you don't need to be taking advice from me :) We can agree to disagree on this point, but a few thoughts on your post with the "average" player in mind: Even if it doesn't take that long to get "good" at a new game, in the time we're learning it we'll still be jeopardising a big chunk of our tiny bankroll. And we're likely to take a big pounding during that learning period because, as you allude to above, the fish:reg ratio in a lot of the alternative games is unfavourable. I'm all for people learning multiple games - I know I won't be happy myself as a player until I can at least hold my own in most forms of the game. I'm just saying that we should wait until we've got a stable bankroll before we go risking any of it at games that we suck at. As for boredom, I found getting good enough at a game to beat it consistently went a long way to relieving it :p In my experience if you're playing a game with a large player pool (like no limit STTs or ring games) then you won't be running across the same opponents all that often and even when you do they'll rarely be adjusting well enough to your style of play for it to make any real dent in your profitability. I'll concede that it may be a problem if your best game is something like 5/10c Stud where there's rarely more than a couple of tables running and at least half the players on them are regs. But for the majority, who are likely to be playing micro stakes NLHE in one form or another, I'll stick by my suggestion. [/QUOTE]
