There is a variety of tools to use. Read the software FAQ. Or simply google pokertracker. |

Re: $500 bankroll
Rule of thumb is to have 20 full buyins for NL. So $500 => NL25 (0.10/0.25). Move down to NL10 if you drop below $400, until you're comfortable online.
And if you're going to take it seriously, Pokertracker (or equivalent) is mandatory. It's worth it for tracking purposes alone. Then you'll know if you're up or down after those 1k hands, even if you've played some tourneys or SNGs, or gotten some bonus $. |

Re: $500 bankroll
Everyone has such a well-intentioned but wrong-headed view of bankroll management.
Although OP has not said so explicitly, I think it is reasonable to assume that if this $500 deposit were lost, it could be replaced rather easily. This changes everything. Assuming that this is the case, I'd suggest playing 0.5/1 NL. Start with one table, then add tables up to 4 or so once you are very comfortable with the interface. If you are going to get serious about online poker, I'd suggest looking into pokertracker to keep track of your play and your opponents. "Grinding out a few hundred a week" is going to be very dependant on how much you play, the limit you play at, but most importantly your skill relative to your opponents. I'll just say that, in my opinion, a good player without major leaks might beat the 100NL for about $0.10/hand, or about $35/hr 4-tabling. An awful lot of ifs go into that though.... |
