Stakes

Micro Stakes

$0.01 – $4.99 in tournaments, $0.01/$0.02 – $0.02/$0.05 in cash games.

Tournaments

$0.01 – $4.99

Large fields and low buy-ins. Loose calls are common, so value bets do more work than multi-street bluffs.

Cash games

$0.01/$0.02 – $0.02/$0.05

Soft tables and tiny pots. Play straightforward value hands and learn the fundamentals cheaply.
