    Default Moving from play to real money...

    1st post. Read all the beginner info, though don't fault me if I haven't absorbed it all yet (a lot of info). I've been playing online for about a month. Started limit, moved to NL shortly thereafter, which I prefer now. I mostly play fake money, a little real money (deposited $10 at FTP before I found this site.) Lost the real money (go figure!) Read up on a LOT of strategy. Probably browsed 100+ pages on the net of strategy and feel I've got at least a good basic strategy going. Can't name my strategy, basically a combination of everything I've read. Been doing really good lately at the play money tables. Only playing $0.01/$0.02 though. Generally I play 3-4 tables at a time. Fairly strict with my strategy. Start with $2 at each table and after a few hours I'm up 300% or so. Occasionally I lose my ass on a table but still end up ahead in the long run. Started with 1000 in play money, currently at 5000. I only play about twice a week due to my work schedule. Wondering when you know your ready to move to real money. I know the tables play a lot different. I'm ready to start with a $50 deposit and exercise bank roll management, I guess I'm just looking for some advise on what to expect at a low stake real money table verses the the fake stuff, or if I'm even ready for real money yet. Glad you all are here, and I look forward to contributing!

    it sounds like you are ready most the players at 2nl dont even post in a forum so you have 1 up on them. you could just deposit the min and start at 2nl with like $20 -$30 when you are just learning its best to go with 1 or 2 tables you will learn what to do instaed of going on auto pilot. it will stunt your growth, wait to multi table till 5nl or 10nl. did you get rakeback on fulltilt?
