    Welcome to sky poker Fenster, Imo the best poker site there is to play on and the main reason for that being this forum.

    Depends what stakes you want to be playing at. As a general rule if you are single tabling you never want to have more than 5% of your bankroll on a table and should leave if you make it up to 10%. I have also heard said that it is 2.5% for an MTT

    If you factor in Mltitabling then the percentage needs to be smaller. There is great advice and in some cases guides available in the clinic for how to play optimumally at any stake in any form of the game so don't be afraid to ask for help.

    As a live player myself who now dabbles online I would say the 1st thing to bear in mind is the sped of the game you see such a volume of hands it is possible to tighten your game up as premium hands and spots will come along if you can be patient enough to wait for them

    Good Luck on the tables let us know how you get on

    Fenster :) stick with 4NL xD The reason your online game is messed up compared to live games is because live games you can rely more on (post flop play, working out whether your opposition is comfortable with there cards by the way they are looking etc etc)

    now online you have 2 types of people, you have a lot more choices of table selection,
    Type 1, the serious online money makers
    Type 2, the guys who just wanna play poker

    Your gonna want to look for tables with Type 2 people, you will see who these are because they are the guys that get involved in every single pot with any 2 cards, thats also a danger, because you know they can have any 2 cards you have to hit, or hope they miss, so to improve your game you need to tighten up and play pure ABC poker, get good hands and bet hard on them

    Im still learning myself so cant be much help xD but those are the words of wisdom bestowed upon me, and i pass em down to you :)
