Full Tilt - Too hard for a new player?

[Isaac Mikel]

I've started playing online, I don't really like it, but I figure it's the only way I'm going to be able to play a lot of hands in a short period of time without breaking the bank.

I'm on Full Tilt, but I've read that the competition is much harder because 'the best players in the world play on Full Tilt'.

Of course, I'll only be playing the micro's at the moment, so I'd be very unfortunate to run into a world class player, but should I be starting out on another site anyway?

I'm pretty sure that you already know the answer to this question.

They're all the same at micro?

Well, Miow, you sarcastic prick, Steve Wong sat down at micro yesterday. Maybe not world class, but he's a pro.

I don't think there's all that much difference between the big 2 anymore as far as to player skill. Now there may be a difference in which software you like. The look and feel so to speak.

I don't think that's a particularly representative sample is it..............

its probably one of those guys who just sits at the tables idly to get his 30$ an hour. I'm sure he's posing a real threat to OP

[Isaac Mikel]

Actually, he was up pretty good for micro - so he wasn't sitting idle. He's one of those guys who started at micro and ended up turning pro.

Thank you for a the serious answer, Felting.

Anyway, I'm finding micro on FT pretty easy. It's still early days, of course, but here's hoping I can slowly build.
