Default Re: First NL hand post

For some reason Stars $.01/.02 tables have a crazy max buyin of 250BB instead of the usual 100BB, so they play real deep, which makes it hard for a beginner. The deeper the stacks, the more difficult the decisions.

In your hand, even though it is for 1/2 a buyin at the stars .01/.02 table, it is really for 1.25 buyins at any regular table online with standard 100BB buyins, so you need to be very cautious about pot control. This is a pretty big pot you are playing. Just because villains stack is 1/2 of a buyin here, it is really a lot larger than it looks, and you want a premium hand for such a large pot.

I would suggest just buyin in for 100BB while you are starting.
