Why play for pennies??

[Gutzz]

When I first started playing cash ring, I'd play at the micro penny NL tables on PS. You see a friend of mine gave me a few bucks and I just thought I'd build from there.

I don't like the idea of spending hundreds and hundreds of my hard earned dollars on poker .

It really didn't take that long to tripple what he gave me, then i tried the higher limit (at the time it was .1/.25... they didn't have .05/.1 NL tables back then), and got CRUSHED. Emotionally I wasn't prepared at all. So I moved back down and rebuilt.

Anyway, penny tables offer good experience on fundamentals, since all you really have to do is play tight aggro and it should be very profitable. Well, maybe not profitable... but you can build up consistently and then move up to the better limits shortly after .

Cheers,

I will play these levels late at night when i have been drinking and just want to play some poker but not lose that much money. Play money tables is not poker at all.

HHMM, drinking and poker, BAD MIX!!!!

Me after drinking and playing a while and hitting my straight on the river and pushing all in "Damn, didn't see that flush out there"

But you'd rather spend 4 hours to win $8.75? Okay then.
