Ask Spoony About Poker, Life, and Anything Else

For a player who has little to no experience with online poker or taking poker seriously in general, what would you say is the best game to start out at and start learning/building a roll?

Probably my work ethic. Mostly because of how and where I was raised, what to me is being kind of lazy is working your ass off to a lot of other people. It's kind of funny in a way, but it's a skill just like anything else that you can practice and improve at and eventually become good at.

It depends on what you want to do long-term. If you want to play cash, start at 2nl. If you want to play SNGs, start at whatever is a really low level for that. If you want to play MTTs, I'd suggest playing the $1.20 45-mans.

What's most important is that you start working on a game and stick to it without jumping around. Jumping around changing games every couple of weeks means you never get to the point in any single game where you are making decent money because you keep having to start over.

For you personally, I think you should play cash because you have some massive psychological issues that would be very much helped by being able to quit whenever you want to.
