I've heard so many people (myself included last year) say that they can't beat the micro limits, "because the play there is so terrible." That's a piss poor excuse.
OK OK I'l lcome clean, you've hit the nail on the head there partner, I have whipped the micro game before and got as far as a $1/2 limit bankroll (300BB) but then I sorta got addicted to 5 man NL SnG's lol. The swings, as I'm sure you know, at these games are massive, unbeatable for a few weeks, then can't win an arguement for a few weeks after that!

You're right, in hindsight it is a piss poor excuse, the truth is that I just don't want to play with the crazy idiots who play 5/10c (no offence to all who are serious down there) and there are many many idiots, its a long hard grind but I know it pays off in the end, i s'pose my point is that it's hard trying to get your best game goin 24/7 when you're liftin max pots of $2 odds! A lot of effort for not much return... to get back to the original post you'll notice that I said " if you can help it" meaning of course that if you are in a position to deposit a few $$$ and start at say 50/1 or 1/2 if your that lucky, then why bother with crazy micro poker, that said I didn't make it clear in the original post that I have already whipped the micro game up through to $1/2.

BTW, I've repeated the whole SnG addiction thing twice in the last few years, I've started with nothing the first time, $5 I won on a freeroll NL tourney on Pacific and blasted the micro limits in a matter of months playing mostly at weekends.
