Are micro stakes worth it?

[oskariy]

I'm planning to play on pokerstars but I don't play with big money. So are micro stakes worth it on long run. Can you make money on it?

 

[maezma]

Yes you can. The very low cost tournaments, Spin & Go, SNG and cash tables can be adapted to your account. The first time I deposited 10 dollars I converted them into 900 in less than one week.

micro stakes are a way to get experience play poker without losing your shirt. Playing micro can build your bankroll, but it will take time.

 

[puzzlefish]

SnGs are definitely profitable at micro. Cash may be profitable depending on how you select your tables. Poker in general is not profitable for 90+ % of people, so don't get discouraged.

No, I'm not making fun of you. I started playing the SNG KO tournaments when my Bankroll reached 50 I started playing cash and progressive KO tournaments. I won a tournament and the accumulated by eliminations and the first prize made a difference.

This is exactly what i am trying to do now. But i think that i would cut spin & go because in my opinion is not profitable in the long run.

 

[plastilin898]

Yes of course you can, only on micro rates need a special strategy

 

[abyk]

depends on the style of the tournament, if it's 15 minutes + per blind then micro pots are essential

 

[oskariy]

Ya

Well not aiming for pro thankfully

 

[xy23]

yeah it's worth it , if you wanna build a bankroll and perhaps move up stakes and get more opportunities to see and win the money that matters

 

[B1731898]

Of course. Make all the right plays, get knocked out by donks, and bad play. Keep making the right plays over, and over again,...and watch your profits rise.

 

[Haftus]

I think it is worth it, because you will gain a lot of experience in micros. And if you are a winning player, you will make a good profit imo.

 

[juninhigh]

Sure you can, and by playing some Sit and go and KO tourney you can cut some variances to help your bankroll gets healthy

Excellent advice!

Turning $10 into $900 in less than a week is virtually impossible without a LOT of luck, and even then it's very unlikely at best. It is possible I guess if you roll the dice and hit a huge multiplier on Spin & Go. It's never happened to me but theoretically it is possible.

 

[LotharMcDowner]

Not only worth it, it can be very profitable to start out this way. The micro players are usually people who have won money in a freeroll or something like that. Mostly casual players who don't really study the game itself. They may know the theory, but understanding and applying it to real life situations is difficult because they lack the experience/disassociation to see things for how they are. Not only that, but as someone said above, it's by far the best way to gain general experience for cheap. Just don't expect the style of play to match the style in the bigger buy ins.

 

[krisi77]

with so little money you have to be lucky, a lot of skill and patience, unfortunately I do not have any of these qualities and for that I can not boast of success .
but it's possible and I'm sure many other players succeed

 

[Douglas Gonzaga]

It's worth it, yes, it's gaining experience and raising the level as you build your bank.

 

[CJWilliam]

Actually you are on the right track. You are already aware of your bankroll management. The micros are beatable. Add in a bit of study time, and you will be increasing your roll in no time.

 

[ClickPoker]

micro are going to take a lot of hands in which there monkeys or fish that are going to bet just for doing so. But if you play carefully if you can take advantage

deyvsonflp friend in his post gives us an example of what I mean

Micro stakes are well worth it, especially if that's the limit you're comfortable playing. To get started pick a site that accommodates micro-stakes. If you want to start from nothing play freerolls, exclusively. If you're thinking of making a deposit for micro-play I suggest depositing no less than $30. I don't believe there are anymore sites that have a minimum deposit of $10, though. Sit-n-go's and micro-mtt's, imo, are the way to go to get a roll started from a small deposit. GL, man. :wavey:

 

[onione6ix]

Micros are beatable thats where your weakest players are. Make a small deposit start playing .1/.2 no limit . work your way up to .2/.5 no limit . start playing .55-1.10 mtt. Should be fine.

Build a roll, maybe look outside the box. Start railing your smallest +6 SHORT DECK game. Whats the first thing you will notice. Pots are way bigger. And guess what people are gambling ! Not a bunch middle eastern and Russian players all sitting back playing 11.5% of there hands.

 

[beavis22]

ive made a lot from nothing many times...just keep building your bankroll...anything is possible...I also like to build a bankroll playing single table sit n go's...play super tight and just try to make the top 3....grind on

 

[neverbluff]

Microstakes are great for learning, but ideally you'll want to make enough money to move up in stakes as soon as possible unless you are able to grind many many tables at once while also winning. Try to learn as much as possible in freerolls and low stakes tables to learn how people are playing before trying to move up stakes. Just know that what works in freerolls/microstakes might not work at the higher stakes
