I moved to .02/.05 uNL a year ago after nearly a year of breakeven grinding at micro limit.

Lost half my BR in a month.

I ended up dropping all the way down to .01/.02 uNL and grinding, grinding, grinding. Took me four months to grow my roll and move back up.

Now I'm multi-tabling .05/.10. July was my best month ever - Most hands played + largest BB/100 = LOTS of money won.

Good job grinding your way back up!

My brother is climbing the microlimits, and I was astounded to see how big the rake is at .02/.05 uNL. He would win a $3 pot and they would rake ~$.50! That's an obscenely high rake and I would say that game may not be beatable unless you are clearing a bonus or have sick-high RB.

Yeah, 'cause Stars would only rake a $3.00 pot for .15 cents. And any pot under $1.00 (most of them) gets no rake at all.

Oh, well now it makes sense. UB has to pay for that stock car Phil Helmuth wrecked during the WSOP.
