Can you make money playing micro-stakes?

[YKCaiTLH1314]

Definitely you can, at least some have done so. Nathan Williams is one of the best example. Read his blog below.

micros

micro betting can produce results, but the time required is a problem if you have any kind of life. LOL

 

[theRaven68]

micro stakes are for novice players and players who plays only for fun

 

[valeski 28]

It is possible but it will take a lot of time.In order to make more money you should try higher levels .There are many bingo players who play NL2 and NL5.Good luck!

 

[beldin2010]

Those combined with freerolls a player can build a bankroll from zero. Most of the players in early stage are playing almost any 2 cards but when you adjust your play will love to play with such people.

Micro limits teach the discipline that is needed at the limits above. Earnings are slow of course, but he is

 

[German629]

Micro therefore call "micro", because you can with drive and enthusiasm long time to play
on micro limits, but not to earn money, since the Poker is vey dispersive Game, and the all
earning, gathered by tiny pieces for month, for example, may be to lose for the one
very unsuccessful session in the next month, and the all need will to start again...
Hence, need try by possibility as more quickly to go on more high limits, because, if after
"upstreak" comes next "downstreak", you can down on limit lower, and save earned profit.
On the micro limits this to do will not get, because there is nowhere lower to go.

To earn some money like 20 to 50$ - yes it is definitely possible. To earn something meaningful which will contribute to your budget - very difficult at micro stakes.

As a hobby yeah you can make steady money, but for the time invested it really isn't worth it if you're just doing it for the money you'd be better off flipping burgers.

Weather it's micro stakes or the nosebleeds Poker is Poker and all the same concepts apply. Remember, ATC (any two cards) can win, you can't win if you don't play, but if you play to much and bleed off it's hard to also win. Just play ABC poker since you'll generally get called by worse. Bet for value until told otherwise, think about why you're betting and what is either calling or you're targeting to fold. Regardless of stakes it's all about putting in volume long term. Just play to make the best decisions and the rest is out of your control. Good luck.

People who play bad poker are easier to beat. You should want to be up against people who always play all their suited cards.

 

[benitwapasu]

If the other players were playing good it would be even harder to make money

 

[BriceNice]

Its possible but it takes a different type of mindset, usually one thats not conducive to that of a "gambler." You have to be willing to play for 3 hours and make 60 cents, and LIKE IT. Its possible to fill a swimming pool up one spoon full at a time. But how many are willing to do that?

 

[63burner]

Hard to take it seriously..

Microstakes, . For me, it is purely entertainment, not money I worry about. If I am tired of the same-o, I might play some on micro, but keeping track of the micro money isn't worth the effort.

It all depends if you refer to the online game if you can multiply your investment but you have to keep in mind that most of the players that point to the micro tournaments are avitual players and almost all of them have already been studied they know the behavior if a player is passive, agressive for your goal to be, you have to keep these points in mind since being an avital player to another poker modality will not be the same since it is a cash game since these players do not behave as in this modality now to To reach your goal you have to dedicate a study time to effectively disburse yourself.

hi hi :ciao:
it hard to imagine that us who play freerolls or micro stakes are play for purpose to make monies... is poor choice if that reason you play poker
many us play for love poker
it exciting and funnnnn
the occasional lilliputian monies we achieve is nice addition to poker site account
perhaps if want make real $usd maybe get a real job?

 

[dompoker]

To earn miles of dollars you have to invest miles of dollars, do not expect to invest a dollar and pretend to earn miles of dollars.
To earn good money in micro limits, you must measure the volume, play miles of tournaments and sit and go.

 

[zinzir]

Micro stakes are the easiest to make money for a poker player, because the average player makes more mistakes than at higher stakes. But one needs to understand that it is absurd to expect the same kind of hourly rate in micro stakes as in higher stakes, proportions have to be taken in consideration. For example, winning $100 at 1c/2c tables is equivalent to winning $10,000 at 1/2 dollar tables, or $100,000 at 10/20 dollar tables, or $1 million at 100/200 dollar tables.

 

[eniseysmail]

Such people are very few people who play well, he does not play on microstretches, does not spend time on them, only novice players play there and who play only for entertainment.

I absolutely agree with you ...

 

[ArmiSoo7]

It will be a long ride with micro stakes. I don't like this idea, and I don't believe that someone will spend all day with playing 0.02 bb stakes .

 

[guineasqueak]

I'm 100% positive there is no other way to truly beat the micros - except to "bite the bullet" and grind tirelessly - over and over again. Until, the day comes that your bankroll BI amount allows you to move up to higher stakes.

This topic has been discussed in every detail and the final answer is always the same. Just keep grinding no matter how painful it seems. And believe me, my fellow micro stakes players, it is a world of pain and annoyance down here.

 

[Biibel]

I used to make a living on NL50 with only rakeback, so sure you can.

 

[Suns of Beaches]

I think for micro stakes you have to adjust to certain player types even more. Some guys just never fold and some fold way too often. You can use that to your advantage. Yes very beatable.

 

[ironduke11]

there is an article here on negraneu spending 900k on buyins in one year for 51 games and only cashed in 11 of them and won 3....those three wins took him into profitability....

I imagine somewhat relative figures exist for low stakes.....
