I don't mean to break up the flow of this thread, but this is one of the best threads I've seen here.

Rippy is the NL preacher and Fnord is the limit reverend. Both being very nice, and informative, but telling why their religion is the right one.

I have one thing to ask Fnord.

I am very weak at limit holdem, and I'd like to get some practice in, but I don't want to spend a lot of money getting better. I don't want to risk the bankroll of a $.50 / $1 table. Are $.05 / $.10 tables a bad idea? Do the low stakes promote chasers that make the game unfair?
