small buy in tournaments
10 NL full ring cash games
10 NL 6 max cash games
25 NL 6 max cash games
The majority of my playing time was 10 NL full ring and 10 NL 6 max cash games.
I have decided that I like the 6 max cash games best.
I am concerned that I haven't been winning much - I have been hovering around even money for a while.
Can you recommend any tips for playing at these micro stakes?
Such as: books to read, poker training videos to watch, or websites with helpful info.
Right now I am a college student, with very limited funds.
Hey Steel, thanks for dropping by.
Some tips I would give is to play tight and smart. There was times at a table I was playing 10/8 at a 6 max table after 60 hands, due to me not getting hands and having a giant calling station to my left. Avoid playing hands especially marginal hands out of position. Always try to play your A game, quit when you're tilted, tired, "not feeling it," whatever it is. Don't force yourself to play when you shouldn't.
A great but old free e-book you should look for is Ryan Fee's 6 max book. A lot of the information in that book is still relevant for today's micro stakes games.
2+2 is a great resource full of eager people like yourself, get to know some of them so you can discuss hands together. Post some HHs and ask a lot of questions.
Improvement happens gradually, so keep playing and avoid as many mistakes as you can.
