What's your aim when you play online cash?

I"ve never really bothered with cash games online too much, but recently started playing some micro stakes just for a bit of fun and to see how my game holds up.

At such small stakes I"m playing a lot of hands, limping where I can then either getting lucky, bullying or folding depending on my position. When I do get a hand I make sure I get well paid if anyone does call. I"m not too worried about how right or wrong my tactics/game is but would just like to get some replies to the following questions:



* Do you sit down to the table with the maximum buy-in allowed?

* Would you sit down at a table with some big stacks already there or steer clear and pick a table with fairly average/level stacks?

* Do you tend to go with a plan to play for a certain amount of time/hands or do you aim to double up/treble up then get out?

* Finally, if you are happy to reveal what level you tend to play it will give me an insight to peoples "goals" at different levels play


Thanks in advance to those who reply!

Bainn:
1 - I always sit down for the max.

2 - I prefer tables where eveyone is prety much even.

3 - I normally set a period of play before taking a break, then start another session.

4 - 0.10/0.20 0.25/0.50 & the occasional 0.50/1.00

AMRN:
1. Always the maximum - anything else means potential lost value when you have a monster.

2. Tend to avoid the big stacks - often a sign that they are running or playing well, and I don"t need to sit at their tables and contribute.

3. Tend to play to a time window. Would never leave a table cos I had trebled up - if running or playing well, why leave?

4. 50NL Holdem or 25PLO

Only started in Jan

1- Always buy in with 100BB

2- Stack sizes dont bother me I just try to adapt my play to this.

3- I aim to play 400 hands per session which takes around 2 hours @5 full ring tables

4- 10NL (100BB @ 0.05c/0.10c)

Cheers guy"s.

One reason I asked this is because the other day I was running ok. Had bought in for my maximum of $4  :o (2c/4c) and had planned to play for a length of time... Before I had reached this time i had reached a whopping $14.62  :P

Because I had such a big stack it seemed that players where happy to shove on me to try a quick double up. Two players shoved on me and I called because I felt I was ahead (and was) both sucked out on me and I lost virtually all but my buy-in!! Both of these players immediately left the table so I had no way of winning it back!

Is there a point where you can have too much at the table?
