Is micro limit poker or just a crapshoot?
Hi,
I've been playing micro limit for a few weeks now, I can't work out if this is really a proper poker game as most players seem to treat it like a play money game. Is there a certain limit when players respect their cash? |

Sadly yes and that is the level where I have to decide if I am good enough to continue. Luckily for me I haven't run into to many players that respect their cash at the levels I play at so I am quite happy with that.

It is what you make it. Remember that the objective is to make good decisions.

Move too a level where they respected your raises.
If you cant mirco limit poker, poker is not the game for you(thats if your playing it solely as a means of making money) |

This begs the question as to what level a person should expect to make money as opposed to being there simply to gain experience. And how many tables would a person need to play at that level to make money.
Personally, I don't see the level I am going to start at (.01/.02) as being a money making proposition. It is simply to learn. |

Be happy that they don't respect your raises or their cash; it makes the game more profitable for you. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

However, that doesn't mean you can't build valuable experience or win money in low stakes games. The lessons I learned playing for pennies worked with a 4 figure big blind, and lessons I learned crushing $5 SNGs helped near the end of a multitable tournament with a 4 figure buy-in. The achievable win rates are far greater in low stakes games (in proportion with the blinds) than in high stakes games. This means you get much more rapid feedback on how well you are playing in low stakes games, and it takes much less time to double your bankroll. There are bad poker players at all levels. Bad players make winning possible. If you play for higher stakes, you will wish for more bad players. |

I want to further expand on my previous post. My second reaction after seeing what the person played when taking my money was, "Keep playing that way, keep playing that way!"
I should say that both reactions were just thoughts in my head and were not actually expressed to the other player. |

If anything, the highest limits are a crapshoot, not the lowest limits. Top guys are playing the slightest of edges against each other, and the winners have very marginal winrates compared to winners at micro-stakes.
In micro-stakes, a tight, solid, basic game plan + experience is all it really takes to beat the hell out of the calling stations. Games that run like play money are a great thing; you should be able to best the hell out of play money in the long run (in between massive suckouts). |
