Hello.

I have found playing at low limit tbls can be the quickest way of eroding a low bank roll, the problem playing low limit tbls is that everyone playing will take risks thay would never do if the stakes were a little higher, so when you pull what in your case you would call a good hand eg-A/K 10.10 ect the likelyhood is that because of the low limits other players will bet the first couple of rounds anyway, even with 3.4 - 2.7.
Then you find they have caught a hand and you lose, this I find leads to you betting on anything or sitting playing poker for hours with no real chance of building up you funds.
I know a lot of players love low limits and enjoy them, but my advice to yo ( for what it is worth) would be to step up a couple of levels and play higher limits, even with a low bank roll you can soon build it up, it is very important to watch a few tbls first before joining, you will pick out a couple of chance players and then its time for you to join.
$100 is a fair bankroll and one you should be able to work with without playing on low limit tables, the sit n go games are another way of building your bank roll, but again I am finding that playing higher stakes leads to meeting more players who take less chances.
