Beginner\'s question regarding nanolimits
 

Are 0.02/0.04 and 0.05/0.10 games beatable, people at PS seems to just play with any two hands and usually will draw out on you all the time, what limits did you guys start at?

Any tips for these tables? Many players play pretty loosely and are pretty passive. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I like to play 0.02/0.04 short hand drunkern, I have about 40 BB/100 on friday nights. It plays the same as 500/1000 play money but more passive.

To add content, you can valuebet very light.

Play tight.
Don't bluff.

Profit.

Re: Beginner\'s question regarding nanolimits
 

Do you guys recommend grinding it out at these limits or should I move up a bit? and get a bigger bankroll? Yeah I do play tight and don't bluff but it's like what xylocain said, it's like playing with play money :|. really fustrating sometimes.

Also I noticed that players at these limits don't raise preflop with AK/KQ.

There is nothing frustrating about playing bad players, learn that. If you can't beat 0.02/0.04 you don't stand a chance playing higher either.

Get a starting hand chart and fit or fold. You can't outplay them, but you can valuebet them forever.

Re: Beginner\'s question regarding nanolimits
 

Most of the posts I see in this sub-forum is .10/.20 or above, did most people here start out with 0.02/0.04? or a higher limit?

Re: Beginner\'s question regarding nanolimits
 

If they are beatable. They are very beatable. You don't need even to do anything fancy. Just follow a starting hands chart religiously and valuebet toppair good kicker or better.
No bluffing.

I'm using ed miller's preflop chart (loose)

Should I not raise preflop with hands like AK/KQ at these limits?

No bluffing, but c-bet against 2 or less as long as you have been showing down winners.

FYP

[edit] use the tight chart, I don't think the loose applies that often even at these limits[/edit]

Re: Beginner\'s question regarding nanolimits
 

ok thanks, I'll try again at those limits.

Also I'm wondering, does Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players apply to micro/nanolimits? I was considering reading though that since I felt "stuck".
