    Just to add, this advice is for the easiest stake.

    On higher stake difficulties the small blind doesn’t provide a reward, so skipping the first small blind makes sense if the reward is good.

    On these difficulties I usually spam R without even playing a single hand until I get a small blind that gives me a holographic tag, or free voucher, 25$ etc.

    It feels cheesy, but struggling till Ante 5-6 & fighting to the last hand just sounds like a slow death to me.

    That’s great! I took a long time for my first win too, then I developed a sense of when to cut my losses. Now, it’s easy to tell if I’ll win by the first ante boss.

    In addition to what Dave said, the key thing is early wins compound.

    Try to finish the first Small Blind in 1 hand. (A Flush or a Straight with each card > 7 will guarantee this). This sets you up with 2$ interest in the big blind.

    If I’m struggling to clear Ante 1, and low on cash by the time I enter 2, I just restart (You can quickly restart by long pressing R)
