I live at home with my parents have no expensive what's over, i work for my income but just spend it on luxurys.

My plan is to save up about £1,000 and play the £0.50/£1.00 at my local casino 5 days a week and see where it gets me?

Buying in for £40 each time... good idea or not


I currently do play online hu hyper sng and do alright at them but i prefer live.

Sounds good any advice? good idea or not

Also, I try to buy-in for 100 bb minimum so your 40 seems low and so does your bankroll if you're serious about trying to build up. If just for fun or to learn, go for it.

It depends on how long you want to live with your parents and your skill level.

You need to buy in for 100. That is a certainty.

I think its a great idea!

We all have to start somewhere.

It sounds like you have some basic poker knowledge and enjoy playing. Making the transition to live poker isn't that hard, the concepts and strategy are the same, but the mechanic's of the game are different; posting blinds, keeping track of position, keep track of pot size, bet sizes, when is you're turn to act, stacking and counting chips, actually making a wager, ect, ect...

With a good attitude and a willingness to learn it sounds to me like you're well on your way.

Best wishes....
