Online poker is unique to brick and mortar online casino sect not only for their 24/7 access with rooms full of people, but also for the presence of ‘micro limit games,’ which are of too small stakes to offer at a ‘live’ casino. Micro limits, beginning with 1 and 2 cent blinds, while low in buy in and the amount of money on the table, can be a great way not only for those with smaller bank rolls or limits of risk to play, but also ways to teach yourself the intricacies of the game without losing a fortune in the process at the higher stakes tables.

Because poker is a game of numbers, it is a question of profits versus amount of money put in your pocket. If you can walk away with a profit from the lower stakes table consistently, you will begin to find that your confidence level increases and that you might be ready to move to higher limits.

But beyond just novice players, micro limit tables can be a great place to go in and try switching your game up in ways that you hadn’t before. Practicing more advanced play at a lower cost has its advantages, and may give you the ability to settle into ideas before applying them at higher levels.

It’s also fun sometimes just to blow off steam from a bad beat by going around and horsing every pot for a couple bucks until you’re laughing again and no longer stuck on the fact that your KK got sucked out by 4 9 offsuit.
