Because I'm not. I'm considering moving to stars, but I want to know if anyone is having trouble stacking the nits at FT microstakes.

It's likely just as bad at Stars. Instead of thinking that your results are mainly a function of the players at 25nl, why not focus on your game instead?

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

I want to ask a dumb question...what is a "nit" player exactly??
I've found 10NL on FTP and Bodog were the easiest for me to make money. I've had, what I thought, alot of "bad beats" on FTP, but overall I was up 6x my deposit when I just cashed most of it out at christmas (not great, but I don't play alot on there and my deposit bonus had just expired).

if you cant beat microstakes you need to do some serious analysis of your game to figure out why you aren't. i dont know how you play at all, but if i had to take a guess of things you arent doing:
1.bet/bet/bet with your good hands. and make real bets, not that half pot crap on the flop. never slow play.
2. probably bluffing too much vs. shitty players. almost never bluff shitty players.
3. why are you trying to stack the nits? you should be trying to stack the 50/5's and there are plenty of them at microstakes.

you dont stack nits. you steal small pots off them. you semibluff lots and 3bet lots. I doubt you are playing against real nits at 25NL though.

This game takes thousands of hands to learn. Patience is hard. I can only get in about 4k hands in a good week and average more like 2.5k per week. Some FTR guys play 4k hands before lunch.
I think a lot of microgrinders get all wound out worrying about how some guys are making 3 ptBB/100 at NL200. They maybe think there's no work involved in getting there. That it happened in 5k hands. Or that it's mindless and easy. Or that all their bad results are negative variance. That they'd do better against "real" players. I've thought all of those things in the past. Now, I just work on my game, every week, trying to get better. I'm progressing at MY pace, letting my poker hobby pay for itself while I'm waiting to be good enough to move up.
I even dropped down from NL10 to NL2 for 3k hands a couple weeks back. I will probably do so again. Why not drop down to NL10 if you pwned it before? Get your groove back?

You're doing something wrong. The game is very beatable.

It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

Full tilt charges 10% rake at $10NL, not that that makes the game unbeatable, but for a newb struggling to get by that could make a very significant differance.
