My 47 ran into KK and failed to improve beyond another 7. pft.

At least I managed a bounty this week

successfully registered/unregistered in another tourney, so at least it's only this one and not the whole site.

no money taken from my account...odd.

I've just registered an account to join in the game and go to the tournament, click on 'register', it asks me if I want to pay $10+$1 to enter, I say ok - it doesn't add me.

Is there something I'm doing wrong...or a reason why it's not allowing me?

Cheers

Thank you both for your replies.

I've sat down at a limit $.50/$1 table for the last little while and attempted to play high connectors and pocket pairs, or the BB (with one or two other hands that looked purdy if I'm being honest), and not done very well at all.  All pocket pairs have missed, and my decent looking AA had 5 others in the pot, and were then cracked by someone holding 75 making a flush on the river.  The problem I seem to have being that the limit bet is not enough to stop people chasing, it seems (as always, my AK meeting a flop of KKA generated no action - pft).

Shall spend some time on the NL too and see how they compare.  I think my $22 lesson this afternoon seems to be not to play as many hands as I normally would, and get out unless I hit the flop hard.  An inability to offer the wrong odds for calling will take a bit to get used to in the limit games.  Shall scour the forums for cash games to get a few pointers.

One thing, is it normal for 6 or 7 people in a ten person table to be in every hand...or am I sat at an abnormally loose table?

Cheers

Whatever you do, never play at a level where you feel uncomfortable with the swings. If you are okay with putting, say, $200 on the table but feel devestated when it's gone within seconds, then don't sit down. I find that you need to feel comfortable with at least a 400 swing on such a table - which can easily happen through 2 bad beats.

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I'm interested in thoughts of a level to start playing at.  I generally play SNGs at either $25 or $50 buyin, and am comfortable with doing so.  I would like to improve my overall game and hopefully make more of a profit than I currently do, by going into the cash games. I've dabbled in them a few times and not had great success, but at the same time haven't applied myself in the same way as I have for the SNG style of game. 

I think I want to play limit (lost $200 in one hand last time I played NL cash and don't wish to repeat that), and wondered what level I should go in at.  Does the bankroll rule apply where I should only sit at a table with $100 in front of me if I have a $1000 bankroll?

If I wanted to put, say, $300 from my bankroll solely into improving my limit cash game...what level would you suggest I try playing?

Cheers
