Guest Post – Micro-limit SnG Notes
Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail
With the introduction of micro-limit tables on FTP, I brought you a guest post yesterday from Gracie with some tips for the small ball cash tables. It only took a quick look yesterday evening to see these new tables chock full of players grinding away, gambling, or maybe a little bit of both. In addition to the micro-limit cash tables, there are also smaller limit SnG’s and MTT’s.
Okie-Vegas blogger GCox25, not coincidentally named the Low Limit Grinder, has been spending most of his time pounding away at the lower limit SnG’s and has a unique insight approaching these one table tournaments.
Comments are encouraged.
Micro-Limit SnG’s
by GCox25, the Low Limit Grinder
Playing the lowest limit SNG’s offered can be a rewarding and, often times, mind numbing process. Some of the play that you encounter on a regular basis will leave you scratching your head in disbelief. But remember, those are the exact people that you want to be playing with on a regular basis.
Here is a short list of things to remember when playing the lowest limit SNG’s being offered:

Guest Post – Micro-limit Cash Games
Posted by AlCantHang | Filed under Bloggers on the Rail
When you fired up your FTP icon recently, chances are you were prompted to download a new software update. I’ve been waiting for this update because I knew what was coming. Micro-limit tables. One comment I’ve heard from many casual grinders, those who play to unwind or just to have fun, is there were never any micro-limit games offered. Small ball games where they could sling chips without worry. These opportunities were elsewhere but are now here on Full Tilt.
You can find any game at any limit you would like. FTP is spreading 1c/2c No Limit and Pot Limit for Hold’em and Omaha games. The limit versions of these games, as well as the Stud games, start at 5c/10c. You can also find $1 Sit n Go’s (Matrix version also!) and 10c MTT’s. The initial deposit for new players has been lowered to $10 to allow everyone access to play games at levels in their comfort zone.
As you might imagine, there can be quite a difference grinding away at a micro-limit table then you would see in the higher levels. Certain moves and strategies just will not work. There are a few bloggers who spend most of the time grinding as these levels and I’ve asked them to share their thoughts with you.
Today I bring you Gracie of sheverb.com fame. She spends her time making her way through the landmines of micro-limit cash games and gives us her thoughts on the best ways to beat these games. Tomorrow I will share some SnG and MTT tips from Oklahoma’s favorite son GCox.
Penny Ante

Penny Ante. While defined as “a poker game in which the highest bet is limited to a penny or another small sum,” most people use the phrase to mean any number of worthless activities involving budgetary corruption on a local or global scale. It’s a troublesome phrase. I’m going to suggest we be a little over-the-top-PC here and take the word back. Use it literally.
How about . . . “I play penny ante poker online.”
Okay, I’ll agree. That sounds lame.
But if you’ve not already clicked over to YouTube for that puppy doing that cute thing with that kid or that topless chick, you might have found yourself asking, “Really? Are you serious? What’s the point of playing poker online for pennies?”
