Message: [QUOTE="Luvepoker, post: 5959541, member: 307971"] Micro stakes is the training grounds of poker. They are the place you can learn and try things out at the lowest cost. As you said you are a beginner and can add funds each month if needed. Thats good for you as you dont have to play the lowest games out there but there are Microstakes and there are Microstakes. Playing in a $0.25buy in against a $3.00 buy there is a big difference in the play. Go to the 6.60 games and there are even more different. You say you won some tournament with 1K+ players but nowadays barley make the money. You need to remember that if you cash 1 in 7 time you are about average cashing. Also going 20 or 30+ tournaments in a row without a cash is not unheard of. Tournament poker is a long term game and short term results mean nothing. Most people seem shocked by this coment but here is something you may not have thought of. The money is at the top of the payouts. When you make the final table is where the money is. If you play agaisnt 1000 people every time do you realize you are only making the final table once every 111 times you play? That's just average and going 200 or 300 between final table could happen. I play in the micros and do well. I also play there due to the disadvantage of getting fund on and off where I live. Since your on Poker stars I assume you dont have my issues. If you are OK with depositing each month as long as your having fun, I would play 1-3$ buy ins. This would give you plenty of play and would not be the worst bankroll management out there even though its not ideal. As for your barley cashing I have a question for you? You did better when you knew less. When you won those games were you just playing a small amount of games? Are you now multi-tabling more? If you are really learning the game I have some advice for you. Play less tables and 1 or 2 would not be bad. Why? When I play 6-8 I miss things all the time. Its easy to have a few hands going at the same time and trying to put the puzzle of the hand together is not easy this way. On days when I play just one table I see so much more of the game. Patterns, plays that dont make sense and avoiding making mistakes. It maybe much more boring this way but when learning the game this will be a greater help to you. Best of luck mate. [/QUOTE]
