Hi all,

I'm a SNG player who finally wants to take the plunge and learn to play cash. Whilst low buyin SNGs are fun (and pretty soft at the moment), there must be more to poker than pushing preflop!

A bit about me - I started out playing $0.01/$0.02 microstakes with a $20 transfer from a friend, ground that up to $100 over about 10,000 hands then started playing SNGs and haven't really played cash since. My BR is now around $1100-1200, I'm currently playing the $16 turbos on Stars but I feel an inability to play cash is starting to become a real deficiency and learning cash will help my SNG game anyway.

A few quick questions:

- I've read Renton's NL guide, what other posts should I read?
- I remember that Party's 25NL games were reputed to be very soft indeed, but now the US fish can't play there is 25NL at Stars a reasonable place to jump in? I'd like to play somewhere where the play even vaguely resembles real money, I remember the microstakes played like a play money table most times.
- What are the major adjustments that you need to make from SNGs to cash? (I'm talking about NOT doing things like "QQ, weeee push preflop" and "AK, A on flop, push flop"). I've been told that cash games play sort of like level 1 at an SNG but even then chip preservation is paramount, particularly at the turbos that I play.

Thanks in advance!
