    Another good time to bring this back up...

I know that the max buy-in on those tables is $10, and that I'm supposed to start with a larger bankroll, but cash is a little tight this month (I've even rode my bike to work for a couple weeks to save money for my first deposit), and I'm itching for entertainment after my Playstation died a couple weeks ago.

    I know I need to be careful about what hands I start with, and what position I'm in, and what odds I'm getting/giving on draws. Even though I've played at PokerStars on the play money tables, I want to try to learn and try to do this right... I feel kinda bad about not starting with an appropriate bankroll, but I've also got the feeling that I won't learn much at the $0.01/$0.02 tables either.

    Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to ask is, do I have the right outlook on things so far? All comments and advice are VERY welcome =)

    I smelled this coming a mile away...partly because Spoon is a dirty hick.

    Congratulations...now bring the BC out of the rut!
    That's how winners play; we convince the other guy he's making all the right moves.

    If I still had any sort of Intenstinal Fortitude for poker, I'd be back in a heartbeat.
