Message: [QUOTE="hardongear, post: 6687464, member: 1009158"] In my opinion and 15 years experience. Depends if you have some amount of skills/abilities(listed below). If one does it's at least possible to make money at micro/low stakes online... 1) Mental toughness 2) Bankroll management 3) Patience 4) Discipline 5) Study a bit If a person has some amount of all them 4 things he stands an ok chance at micro/low stakes cash even if he isn't really that good a player. At least in my 15 years experience. I'm nothing special and can win at micro/low stakes. Winning means actually withdrawing and spending the money on other things besides poker. One thing for sure it certainly harder for a complete noob. I just switched from playing MTT's for many years back to cash. I honestly found the switch pretty easy and smooth. I think my years of playing experience helped greatly even when most them were playing MTT's. The biggest part of a Holdem hand is played post-flop and post-flop is hard learn and get good at. This is where experience matters most in my opinion. My advice for a noob just starting out. Use google and find some preflop charts. Using charts for preflop will help you as a noob and in my opinion learning post-flop first is more important because most the hand will be played post-flop. So any studying try doing it on post-flop play. Also playing a TAG style while using charts preflop. It will help keep things simple, put you in less bad spots post-flop and should help make post-flop decisions as easy as they can be made. Once you get comfortable, have better understanding of poker, some experience/know the player pool and move up in stakes you can expand your preflop ranges/game a bit from the charts and build your own pre-flop and post-flop game strategy/playing style. Good luck at the tables and don't afraid to give poker a go even if you're not a winning player and the next Stu Ungar. Plenty of people spend money on hobbies they'll never have a chance of winning at. Just keep your poker hobby affordable and have a good time playing. EDIT: Another thing I'd strongly recommend for noob player is if playing online find a site that offers 2nl and full ring games(8-9 player tables). Start there. That's as cheap as you can get experience, as easy a player pool you will find and the blinds come around just a bit slower. Which means you'll feel less rushed to play hands. Cheers!!! [/QUOTE]
