winning at .01/02 is it possible

[kassdog]

I was wondering if it is possible to win at this level. I have recently put $40 dollars into ultimate bet which is 20 buy-ins. The next level on this site is .05/.10. In order to be rolled for this I would need $200. That is a long way away. My question is has anyone started at $2nl and succefully built it to $200. Luckily for me I did refer a couple of people who deposit a lot so I have about $180 in bonus dollars. I figure even if I grind it, by the end of the year I should have about 200 and will be able to move up. Any comments/suggestions.

I started with $50 at 0.01/02 and did build it to $200, basically from 6-max tables.

This is the easiest level to win in, people play all sorts of trash out of position. Play tight, value bet your hands, and don't bother running bluffs past the continuation bet stage.

How long would you say it took you to build it.

if you can afford a computer/internet access, you can afford to save a month or two and start at a level worth playing. you'll learn more and earn more starting out higher

Yeah thats what I think I'm going to do. But for the time I will be playing $2nl. Then depending on where I'm at after the holidays I might just deposit whatever I need to.

When i started, i basically knew nothing about poker. Took about 30000 hands for me to get to $200.

Yeah it is possible, and it is not that hard either. Just move up to 10nl earlier, let's say take a shot when you are at $100 or $150 or something.

Honestly with that type of roll, your better off learning PLO8. If you think the players are bad at NL2 at $2 PLO8 there worse.

i turned $50 into $200 in about a month at this limit while learning poker. People will chase in kind of draw and shove preflop too much.
