Message: [QUOTE="kowrip, post: 5364008, member: 340099"] Absolutely. You should consider your first few buy-ins to be an investment into your future poker career. There are so many things you just don't know until you start playing, even basic things like which game types / stakes you want to play or what is your ideal time to join a game. Then, thereare little patterns that will become obvious after you see them happen several times. Another thing I can't emphasize enough is that the stakes/level make a huge difference. If I raise pre-flop with KK, I'll get 4 callers in a micro stakes or free roll game. In a $300 buy-in tournament, I'll usually either get 1 caller or just steal the blinds. They are completely different games. [/QUOTE]
