Before the actual game ...
Before playing you need to choose the right table for you, this is usually according to the table Stake.

For beginners it’s a good idea to start with small amount like $0.1 / $0.2 (Small blind / Big blind)
or $2 / $4.

Advanced players can play with bigger amount like $10/$20 and up to $1000 or even more.

In this tutorial we will play with a $2 / $4 Stake.
