I'm not kicking myself for this, I did the right thing at the time, who's gonna call any raise with a 29o. But I can't help bite my lip.

By the way, this is my start into the wonderful world of limit. It's a slow start as you can notice. I don't have the bankroll to start in the $.50 / $1. I'll alwasy be a NL at heart, but I was to expand my horizons.

Whats the size of your bankroll? On UB they have .25/.50 tables with a blind of .10 & .25. All you really need to sit down at those tables is $25. I can't see how playing .05/.10 could be profitable but maybe I'm wrong. Where'd you play at when you were playing NL?

I play everything at Paradise. Right now I have about $80 in my account (up from my original $50) but I've been burned by limit poker (too many chasers in limit) and I don't feel comfortable risking too much. $4 seems OK. On Paradise they have $.05 / $.10 limit, then it jumps to $.50 / $1 The reason I'm so loyal to Paradise is they have a lot of tournament options. Multi table and SnG. It seems like they may have more MTTs than any other site. They also have $10 NL tables. Those stakes make my bankroll last longer. I think once I double up I might take some or all of my cash and go around bonus whoring.

Seriously consider fattening up that bankroll. Profitable, aggressive, poker will give you some nasty swings. So far my worst swings have been *over* -50BB for limit and -8 buy-ins for no-limit. I've heard plenty of stories of far better players having worse swings.

Minimum I'd play with
Limit: 100 Big Bets. 200+ is desirable
No-limit: 10 buy-ins. 20+ is preferable
