Re: Low buy-in STTs - are they a lottery?
Yeah as already mentioned the first thing you wanna do is get out of STT's with 20% rake....that really cripples your earning rate. You do get some games which are $5+$0.50 but alot are $5+$1
If you can find some $5 + $0.50 then great.
If you've observed play cash games you'll see so many people just raise to the maximum with anything every hand. It's pointless for trying to learn poker. At $1 people still don't care about it too much. There's awful players quite a way up the stake levels, way past $5 anyway.
If you move to $10+$1 games you won't suddenly find wow everyone is such a great player, what a difference ! That's not gonna happen !
Seven minutes isn't really an awful lot per level. Often if there are some hands with quite a few players then that won't even be once round the table before the blinds go up. Try a few $10 + $1 tournies , preferably with slightly longer blind levels if you can. Remember it's no different to spending a few quid on a few pints of beer, a new golf club or whatever one of your hobbies might be. Plus hey you could actaully win money here.
