What is money to you? because if you're implying that he's going to make money playing that limit you're lying to him and to yourself. He would learn much, much more playing a 50 cent sit and go from one table or 18 people than playing this 50 cent limit buy in cash game. The time he would spend playing this limit, he can spend studying sit and go and being profitable by placing a certain volume of games, which would give him the basis to play 1 sit's or even NL2 cash at least.

Don't talk nonsense that you don't know, you don't even know me. And MTT's freerolls like the ones on cardschat for example, can give you much more experience and learning than playing the bingo of that limit that he mentions. Or are you a regular 40 cent buy in and got rich off that limit so you can question someone who plays freerolls?

How many hands have you played on cash tables to be able to give your expert qualified advice?

I can see that 90% of the games you play are 'freerolls' and longshot Freeroll satellites.
I can see that you've played under TWO accounts on pokerstars. (how is this possible? Did they close your old account and allow you to open a new one with a different name two weeks later?)
I can see that over a 2,000 mtt sample you've got an ROI of -29%, with profit ;) of -$1,518
I can see on 888 that your avg. buyin is a whopping 21 cents! (you can win twice this much in 1 hand at 2nl... have you played it before?)
I can see your more recent account on Stars has moved you up to a 61cent abi. Is this your latest venture into the 50cent SnG's? Looks like you're doing better than previously. Is this what gives you the knowledge to suggest that OP's venture into playing 2nl (which btw is a $2 buyin... not sure where the 40c thing came from).

OP has been learning from playing CC Freerolls. imo, it's a great idea to give cash game a shot for awhile. Even if they don't pursue it, it will definitely help their MTT game in the long run... playing 100bb poker is excellent for learning post flop play

Honestly, I would only indicate this if you don't have the slightest ambition to earn money or improve your game. Most of the time it will just be angry.

Why would they be angry?!?!?! Because of how wide of ranges some of them will be willing to call off with? Because of how bad some of them are & how easy it is to win?
I'm not sure what type of winrate a player can have these days on 2nl tables but is it really all about winrate when a person is just trying to learn? If it is, why are you playing 50cent games? (and what do you split your profits too... 70/30?)

Your base of information about my game is to see my sharkscope? The one that shows I don't play regular tournaments? Shall we sit at 4 cash tables 10/25 25/50 omaha? GGpoker or pokerstars? You can choose. Thinking you understand someone's game by looking at someone's sharkscope, what grade are you in? 2010? Yes, pokerstars allowed me to open another account due to an error with their platform.

Sorry, you're really going to be making loads of money, and when you lose because there's no meaning of range or anything else in NL2 you must be dying to play a perfect GTO at that limit. wtf

it's a complete waste of time and effort, even for a beginner, no disciplines, tables or rules work there, of course you can play plus,
Rules don't work there? Players have no discipline? Do we need them to play a certain way? Isn't poker about adjusting to our opponents, exploiting them?

And why will they be 'angry' while playing 2nl?

Oh I guess my perception of you is way off. You're actually a 50nl crusher. My bad.

He is looking to learn and evolve, he will learn a lot more and have a much more solid game playing sit's where there is more consistency and development than in a limit game of 40 c minimum buy in. I'm not a NL crusher, I haven't played cash holdem in years, but I do play 10/25 25/50 omaha. But you seem to have only words to write anyway. Very clear to realize that you live in the past, but success for you living and disseminating a late game for people who still don't know the game clearly

As I said in the other post, try to use the deep stack strategy, entering the table with a 100 blinds effective stack.
I would not recommend heads-up tables unless you are very confident on your skills. If you are beginning, the best is to start playing Full-Rins (9-MAX) tables, then move to 6-MAX.
Heads-up tables involves a very complex system of GTO and Exploitative game, I think this game format is best for more experienced/advanced players.
Yeah definetely i also think about playin 9 players tables for the moment and to play very tight i think it's my best option for the moment, yeah 6 playrs tables involve a lot more agression and more bluffs i don't know if I am ready to play these structures now, anyway thanks for the advices I will apply them for sure :D

Note how his post mentioned "then move to 6max".
Honestly you'll want your goal to be playing on the 6max tables where you'll get lots of experience playing many hands. Starting out at full ring (9-player) is good though for newer player. (when I first started I felt intimidated by 6max tables, now I wouldn't play a full ring table unless it was on one of Kinalha's accounts)

For material/information, try searching for blackrain79 on Youtube. I'm sure you'll find a lot of information there.

Yes you might be the biggest d1ck in this thread.
Thank you for this insight. You just phrased it a little awkwardly.
Instead of "you might be the biggest .....", it should of course be "Yes Sir, I know you got the biggest.....".

I can, of course, back up this fact with the groundbreaking work of Dr. Randy Marsh. Dr. Marsh is an undisputed authority in the field of penis length research. Unfortunately, his research findings are all too often negated, especially by womankind.
If you are still interested in this topic, I recommend you to search for "Randy, size matters" on Youtube. In a short clip, this ingenious man presents his formula, which is easy for any man to follow.

To prove my above statement of fact, I would be happy to provide you with my personal data so that you can do the math yourself. But I think the math Dr. Marsh uses is just too complicated for women.
So you just have to believe me, because I am an honest person.

Now that that's cleared up, back to the extremely important topic of FL 0.02/0.04. :p

exploit what or whom? players with a pot of 40 cents? and after an hour of play to leave the table with a plus of 40 cents? For what?

Hi I wanted to know what do you think Of limit Holdem (the blind are $0.01/$0.02 tables of 6 players) ? It's the lowest Cash Game Available you can enter a table with $0.40 and the Questions I wanted to ask are :
1) What bankroll do you Recommende ?
2) What is Your
Strategy at the table ?
3) And finally, is it worth it ?
I think thats not worth it. Just too much craziness and table of 6 can be a trap for you. That i know, yes, is one of the lowest.

1) I do not recommend you playing this table. Is just not worth it, doesnt matter your bankroll.

2) There is no strategy on this table. Just enter and go all-in with any premium hands, thats how it works, if you keep playing right, with min raises, small bet, no bluffing, you will earn nothing.

3) NOT WORTH IT.

For me, this is a pretty interesting mode to let off steam after the tournament. In principle , the mode for preparing for the tournament can be considered .

Here you can see I Make it to the final table of the $300 Weekend Freeroll I am close to reach $50 Bankroll and i am doing a bankroll challenge step 1 is to reach $50 then step 2 $100, I think the best option is trying Cash Game and continue playing Freerolls tournaments !! I will try Limit holdem but maybe it's too much for me, NL2 I think it's my best BET !!

Bankroll? If you mean the bankroll you have for playing poker, you can have whatever bankroll suits you and allows you to play a number of games. The safest is 100 buy ins, but you can play with the half adjusting your game.
If you mean the stack you can enter a game I think the best is the highest.
Now if you play these super low buy in games, the strategy can be aggressive.
It is not so interesting, so you can play a little and move higher.
