Ok, this is a good question, and of course the answer will be the Roy Cooke classic . . . . It depends.


The issue here, is: do people care about the money involved?

Sometimes, even playing something like 30-60 cannot give you good experience, as often the players here:

Do'nt give a shift about the stakes involved.


And, other times, the .25-.50 players, are very concerned about their chips, and take it QUITE seriously.

Really, the limit of the game, is NOT the indicator as to how the game is played.

THIS IS SOMETHING, THAT ONLY THE GENIUS OF A.T.E. HAS MENTIONED THIS.


ATE laughs his head off, at the whole notion of their being a seperate book for "low" limit, another for "middle" limit.

ACTUALLY, I don't laugh

I GET PLUCKIN' MAD!!!

those authors . . . ARE RIPPING people off! As I so brilliantly said, the type of game is based on the regard for the chips involved, OR LACK THEREOF.


So, yes you can gain useful experience, in the "micro" games

IF THE PEOPLE ARE TAKING THE STAKES SERIOUSLY.



You made a big mistake there, losing it all in one day. We all have done that, learn from it and move on.

ATE suggests that you NEVER lose more than one tenth of your total bankroll, on any given day, and no more than one TWENTIETH, in any given game.


This is when said bankroll, is a substantial amount, such as your eight hundred.

If you can afford to take, say 100 a week, out of your income, and have a fresh "bankroll" the next week, you can afford to take more chances.

hi ATE

Thanks so much for the reply, as i conceded to lose in the day was bad news.. I just checked out Pokerstars and they dont accept Switch\solo transactions, and i dont have a VIsa Card to go on with..

I have played on Party\empire poker and like the sites for how quick there games fill up.. but i prefer the Prima Poker software but get upset as i know there are a few pros that got shafted for there bankroll on there

So next question is, where else does micro limits and is as good as pokerstars in you opinion... if not i guess i am going t have to do a wire transer in like 2/3 months time

THanks for the reply i really appreciate it

Yet another question, within another thread?

Questions: New thread


Anyway, Ultimate Bet, is good for micro limits

thanks ATE

sorry for messing up again, when i have a fresh question i will post a new thread

This is absolutely NOT to be SNOTTY or something like that.

This is only to insure that questions are answered.


Last year, on another site, people asked questions, on entirely different threads, without even mentioning in the title, tht a question was asked of me!!!

This was, of course, INSANE.

no ATE i follow you

I nearly posted to say should i put this in a new thread but now i know the hard way

thank you (in a raised intonation of voice )
