The rake at games below 5/10 limit is pretty prohibitive towards your profit potential. So ideally you'd want to avoid playing until you could hit that level or higher.

But, barring that, playing lower limits can help you get a start and gain experience. Just beware that the plays you learn in the microlimits will not always translate well into middle limit and higher limit games. Not everyone is pushing 36 sooted because they might hit a straight and a flush with it.

If you're looking for additional money for your bankroll, I put up $500 in cash prizes each month over @ my site, including a prize for bad beats. I'm even doing a custom-built computer giveaway for the holidays.

There's some good people in these forums who can give advice on starting out at lower limits as well. Best wishes!
