If you lets say had $50 in your account, and you were a losing player, what game and stakes would you buy into and why to make it the most luck and why?

omaha will win the poll.

but i would play limit. and cheap. it would take forever to lose my money because of all the "luck-heaters" i would catch as i fall.
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

I would definitely play NL with a very short stack. This would limit your actions to all in preflop or on the flop which is about as easy as it gets. In fact it would make a bunch of big loosers to pretty marginal or even break even players.

Wow havn't played NL triple draw. You can be a winning player at LIMIT triple draw knowing only 5 things.... Now thats tempting if you're losing at Holdem.
This is not my signature. I just write this at the bottom of every post.

thought for awhile and i figure if you suck,

take that $50 and put it on 00 on a roulette wheel.

I read a strategy that is profitable at micro stakes using this tactic.

Basically buying in with approx 20bbs and limping then reraising with AA, KK, QQ, AK, AQs suited only and in a limped pot check fold if you miss the flop and push if you hit it (unless the board was single suited).

This was claimed to be very effective. I tried it a couple of times and it worked, but was just very boring. But it may work to grind out a bit of profit when desperate.

The article I think was buy Alex Scott called Short Stack Strategy in an issue of Inside Poker. Can't remember where I read it right now though.
