In cash games with limits, the rule of thumb is you should bankroll enough to cover 300 big bets. So with a bankroll of $150 a good game to play would be the 25 to 50 cent limit games.

No limit cash games are much more risky, so when the odds are against you would need more of a cushion. A money player should have 20 max buy-ins in their bankroll. The max buy in is usually 100 times the big blind. Do the math. You would need 2,000 big blind for no limit cash games. With a bankroll of 500 the recommended game to play would be within the 10 to 25 cent range. That doesn’t sound like big stakes or winnings but no limit games rise very quickly. Always let your bankroll always determine your limits.

Part of the attraction associated with the poker boom is the fact that it can easily be played in the home. While land-based poker playing requires a nominal fee at least, and usually additional fees for airfare and other travel-related expenses, online poker can be played from the comfort of a computer chair.

Knowing when to raise, which hands to start with and which hands to stay with is something only you can learn with time. The trick to starting out is to not underestimate your hands. Simply start betting, raising and check-raising more, even occasionally when you have nothing. Don’t take it too far, especially when you’re just starting out, but take yourself out of your comfort zone – you might be surprised at how much fun you have while you are learning. And you also might be surprised at how quickly you do, indeed, learn.
