Hi everyone,

I'm very new to the online poker community and I definitely need some help...

I like to play 6 max-cash games, or even 6 max zoom cash games.

I've definitely been a losing player, and I think one of the reasons for that is my bankroll management.

I typically deposit something like 50$ and then play .10-.25$, where the max buy-in is 25$, so I don't have very much breathing room and I am quick to steam when I lose one buy in aka half my bankroll...

My Question:

Should I not be playing .10-.25$ stakes until I have "beaten" even lower stake games? Or are lower stakes like .5-10$ and .08-.16$ just too hard to beat anyway because the players are so unpredictable?

I'd like to play .10-.25$ stakes, but I'm not sure what kind of deposit/bankroll that requires? 500$? Since I haven't had much success online, I'm just hesitant about making such a big deposit... Should I try beating the really micro stakes first, or is .10-.25$ a good place to start?

Could really use some help! Thanks!

Matt
