Honestly the best part is you can grind a few cents into a couple bucks without any pressure, my bankroll literally started with pocket change I forgot about.

Yeah it is nice that the barrier is basically gone now, you can just hop into a micro stakes table and actually learn without stressing about rent money. I never bothred with poker before because the minimum buy ins always felt absurd for just messing around.

stick to folding any ace lower than ten in early position it saves so much trouble

Poker used to feel like a closed club, now I just jump into a quick game during lunch.

I started with pocket change on stake and cashed out a decent jacket from a clothing site yesterday with the winnings.

I used to think you needed a fat wallet just to sit down until a buddy showed me how to start with five bucks on a casual table. First night I flipped that into a pizza delivery order after a messy double up and honestly felt like a king.
