It's true, the micro/low buy-in games are mostly played just as badly as freerolls and by just as poor players. It has been suggested to me that ten dollars and up is a good barometer for decent to good play at cash tables. I do have some experience with multi-table live and online tournaments. I find it best to play in tourneys that buyin for one-hundred dollars plus. Guaranteed, you will get fine play at this level. Hope this helps and you get more advice from other forum members.
