Re: Lowest limit bankrolled and never looked back?
0.5/1 when I deposited $100. I had played microlimit home games with friends and carefully read TOP, HPFAP (SSHE wasn't out at the time) and played live 4/8 at Foxwoods (= easier than 0.5/1 online) before making my deposit. Most importantly I had started reading 2+2 forums and thinking about poker, especially specific hand threads, in my spare time.
When I started out I had good starting hand selection and was a good value bettor. My hand reading was weak and I made a lot of desperation crying calls (often the 2 BB variety after turn raises) in big pots even though I was winning like never. Even so, I was able to beat the microlimit games fairly easily, with much help from these boards.
