Is the payoff here good enough to justify all the variables at the lowest of low tables? 3 weeks ago, I knew nothing of poker. I knew what a few of the hands were, but nothing else. I have been reading as much as I can, but naturally, it is a lot to take in.

I have been playing the .01/.02 tables, but have been losing cash at it. I threw in $75 just to learn to play, and I have a pretty good solid understanding, but have still been losing money.

It seems like a lot of my cash has been going to people who play stuff like 7/2s from UTG and will call my C-bets and big raises all the way down to the river and get a flush. I have a lot more leaks than this, but it seems like the majority of my BIG losses are to players like this.

Would investing a BR big enough to support .02/.05 make a big enough difference?
