I took up poker 3 months ago, torrented a poker book, and have been playing a lot live recently with friends.
Anyway my goal is to make at least $100 on pokerstars by summer without depositing. Does anyone know how microstakes compare to the higher echelons of play money? Not the cash games, but the 150000 6 max SNGs

Can't you just get a job ? Even at minimum wage, part time, you could make $100 in a week, and play money really won't teach you much about poker. |

poker is a lot more complicated than this. more so than what you could possibly imagine just starting out. i think it would be advisable to refrain from blatantly posting your insights at high stakes. as much as you'd like to reveal your thoughts, and hear feedback about them, your contribution will not be appreciated, and some douchebags might go so far as to ridicule you. don't be surprised if a mod puts a red X by your name in that thread.
don't be discouraged though. you really have a lot to learn when you're just starting out. poker is one of those things where, as you learn more about it, you learn that you know so little about it.
for the time being, make the low stakes poker thread your home ground for a while. post hands and ask questions. you'll find a lot of people willing to help you there.
good luck! |

tbh play money is absolutely a waste of time and should only be played for fun (to learn the rules)/or you dont have any money to deposit to play real money
But then again if you don't have any money to deposit then you probably have bigger things to worry about than getting good at poker.
Seriously though, If you have the money to invest then do it, and if you don't then don't bother |

crushing play money rofl that's an oxymoron imo
collegesucks put it VERY eloquently in his post, I have never seen such beautifully written constructive criticism
DON"T post in high stakes if you're playing play money, that SHOULD be seen as obvious but seeing how you used your 1st post there, you definitely need a quick slap in the face to remind you of your place |
