I played a live no limit cash game the other day and was down. The problem was that the strategies I've been studying lately have been for limit hold'em and weren't particularly applicable to the no limit game.
However, my low limit game is doing well at Ladbrokes Poker. I've been reading
Small Stakes Hold 'em: Winning Big with Expert Play for the second time and have been trying out some of the author's ideas.
I'm still keeping to low $0.25/$0.50 games as this allows me to apply the correct strategies without the emotional difficulties of potentially losing lots of money.
