Hi all.....new member on this board and I have a question. On the FTR site he notes that there are low ante (.50/1.00) tables on PartyPoker.com. I just signed up for a real money account last night and played a while and could not find the No Limit tables that the FTR site refers to. Am I looking in the wrong place?
Thanks for the help.

The no-limit tables of .50/1.00 blinds are the $50 NL tables at PartyPoker.
Welcome to FTR.

You might try considering starting at the smaller stakes, $25 NL (.25/.50 blinds), being that this is your first time at the real money tables.
That's where I started a year ago (as well as the rest of us FTR admins).

Excellent advice. Lost $50 last night on the .50/1.00 blinds table...which was not No Limit. Got beat on the river several times as people just matched the largest bet....$1.00 to buy their cards on the draw. Thanks again for the advice and help in pointing me in the right direction.

Careful. Limit and No-limit play is entirely different.
The advice offered on our website is for NO-LIMIT play. There is additional advice for LIMIT play in the LIMIT Hold'em forum here.
Pick one, study it and specialize in it until you're profitable. Switching back and forth between the two while you're still in the learning phases will only make you lose money.

You should definately listen to Xianti. Pick one game at one stakes level and get good at it. You will take similar beats as above in No Limit as well. The biggest difference is that in limit a bad decision or a bad beat will cost you a couple BB's. In NL a bad decision or a bad beat can cost you your whole stack. The rewards can be greater but the risks and bank roll swings are certainly greater. A lot of beginners feel that if they can throw out a good sized bet, (bigger than the 1BB raise in limit) they will be able to chase off drawing hands...what they fail to understand - is that bet may have just given that drawing hand more incentive/better odds to chase.
