To find the right game that suits your playing style and limit, you will need to answer some important questions.
Are you a patient player who doesn't mind sitting for a while folding until the premium hands come along ?
If so, then look for a 10-seater where the blinds come round less often allowing you to be more selective with your starting hands. Also, try Omaha which can be rewarding for those with pre-flop patience.
What is your bankroll ?
It is important that you manage your money efficiently. Never put all or most of your bankroll into a single game. Not only will you risk going broke, you will probably play too cautiously which will allow the more aggressive players at the table to push you around. You will also need a financial cushion for the times when luck is against you.
Are you an aggressive player ?
If you are, then try shorthanded play especially if you can find a small group of tight players. As long as you can avoid their traps then this is a very profitable scenario for you. Heads up play will also suit you well.
Do you like to be able to bet the lot when you want or do you prefer a set limit to each round of betting ?
The choices you have in each game are fixed limit, pot limit and no limit. If you are not sure which to go for then try each type and see which suits you best.
Do you like playing at tables with a lot of action or do you prefer more cautious types ?
Online, you can open up a table and just watch the action for as long as you like before choosing to join or leave. If the players seem too tight or loose then click on another table.
