Hello Analyzer021

Welcome on the PokerStrategy forum :welcome:

What kind of games your normal play SNG’s, tournaments, cash games and/or other format than No limit hold’em? If I know this I can help you better.

Best regards,

Really depends on the format you play and your current skill level.

But welcome to the PokerStrategy forum Analyzer021

Thanks for welcoming me :)
I know the rules of poker but no strategies yet and would like to play cash games.

10 bucks an hour after a few weeks is a little optimistic to say at least, but you should definitely be able to become a winning player!

It depends on what format and stuff you will be playing, so its hard to led you to specific strategies only knowing that you pay cash games. But you are welcome to browse through our No Limit Strategies and articles

If you need further help, dont hesitate to ask. Good luck

Also there is our NL Beginners Course

And if you are interested in playing cash tables, I would recommend you check out w34z3l's 6max walkthrough - (microstakes edition) and No Limit Beginners course with confidant91.

Thank you for the information Malendes.
I will probably play BSS or MSS. Which is better suited for beginners?

It is definitely easier to play short stacked, both for beginners and for more experienced players. Playing short stacked you will not face that many tough decisions and the postflop game is limited compared to big stack poker. But if you wanna play cash games, I would study both BSS and MSS if I was you. You will need both strategies and usually you will start with 100 BBs on an online cash game table, so BSS could be very useful for you aswell.

So SSS is the easiest to play? Don't you play SSS is cash games or why do you recommend to study BSS and MSS if I want to play cash games?

Exactly. Usually you play with +50 or +100 BBs in your stack if you play regular NL cash games at a online poker sites. Therefore, you would use BSS and MSS more often as a cash poker player.
And yes, SSS is the easiest to learn - as I said, the postflop game is limited with a very short stack so most often you just have to play your hands correctly preflop, when using SSS.

I looked into the articles abit and all say that you should play at 9 position tables.
I checked some poker sites and there are some people playing at 9 position tables but most seem to play at 6 position tables.
Isn't it better then to learn a strategy where you can win at 6-Tables or are there sites where many people play at 9-tables?

I think 6max is the most common in cash games :f_drink:

So the 3 strategys say not to play with less than 7 players.
Are there other strategys then you can use on 6max tables?

I would prefer 9max tables but is it viable learning those strategys or will I not be able to find many people to play against?

6max is more popular in cash. I am not really that aware about the traffic on fullring (9man) tables on other sites, but on Pokerstars I would say it is around 65% who plays 6max cash and 35% that play fullring, so you can definitely find games to play, when you are a fullring cash player.

Ok so I guess its better to learn the strategy for max6 as I will have more available tables when I advance into multi-tabling.

Thanks a lot for your time and the information you provided. Btw what modes do you play?

As I said there is more traffic on 6max, but if you play can PokerStars you can easily find action on micro fullring tables too.

No problem, feel free to ask again in the future if you need answer to anything :f_thumbsup:
I mostly play micro MTT (Tournaments), but I also began my poker career on the cash tables.
