New to NL, questions...

Okay, so I've read the FAQ and all that but have some questions and hope you don't mind.

About 3 or 4 weeks ago I decided to switch from limit start playing NL.

I can afford to pay and buy in to 50NL or 100NL but thought I would just start playing with the micro-micro 5NL games until I get my feet wet and get comfortable.

I'm not sure whether to actually buy into a the higher micros or whether to work my way up and try and improve on the way up. What's the better option?

I'm playing full ring on partypoker and winning at a good rate but still feel like i need help to open up my VPIP.

My stats are around 11.8/4.3/2.5.

The problem is I can't figure out what hands i'm missing out on, so is there a good starting guide somewhere for FR NL because I aint seen one.

Cheers to anybody who replies. Will.

How many hands at these stats?

Wrong forum ... there is a full ring forum (all stakes) [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

But if you can afford it, start at 25NL

Just over 3000. I know it's a tiny sample as far as winrate is concerned but it's my VPIP and pfr that I'm concerned about and they tend to converge rather quickly.

Small sample, but you need to raise a bit more,even in full ring. GL

Gelford yeah i know there is but this doesn't forum name itself 6max in the title. It just says microstakes which is the limit I'm playing at but okay in the future i'll post in the full ring. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, the full ring forum is a2 new invention, until recently this was both full ring and sixmax, that is why there is no label.

It has nothing to do with me not wanting to answer your questions, it is just, that most of us here haven't played FR in ages, so we have no stat and tablefeel [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm thinking maybe I should switch to 6max? Seems to be where the action is?
