| yeah i know, usually about 3000 people, pokerstars adds 50$, it's a turbo, very donkish players, often you will see 4-5 players all in pre. to be honest with you it is kinda hard to get in the money because there is so much luck involved when there is a high chance that more than 1 guy will call your all in preflop. so if you don't have the biggest bankroll maybe you can try the 25c 45 or 90 man sngs, now these are not turbo so you have a little more time to wait for better spots. personally i build a bankroll on pokerstars by playing 10c sngs, the ones with 360 people in them, to get to 20$ it took me hundreds of those, i would have been better off playing 25c sngs but i was playing more for the thrill, i didn't know what i was doing. |

| Of course it's a donkfest, it only costs .10c. If you are looking to have fun for a little while, then this might be the tournament for you, but I wouldn't go in expecting to win. You do that, and you're going to be posting here in a week about how your AA got cracked by 58o AIPF. That's the type of play you get there...Terrible. And although terrible play is good for you if you know how to play, the board is going to catch your good cards in a bad way a good portion of the time. I would stick to anything higher than $2 if you can, and if you can't because you have no roll, then I would stick to freerolls over the .10 ones if you can, at least you're not putting in the little amount you have into those ones... |

| Perhaps try the smaller donkfest of 360 players .10c entry no rake. I made a run on these a long time back and once you get onto the final table youre getting some ok money. First prize is $8.50, 36 get paid. Most of the field knock themselves out and good tight play can get you to the cash, they dont take too long and another one starts every 5 mins. Best of luck Total donkfest but if you dont get too involved in huge pots with marginal hands you might do ok. |

Total Challenge Profit (+/-) +$13.50 ROI - 135% ITM - 26 times Final Table - 5 times Best finish - 2nd place (three times) Here is my challenge thread http://www.cardschat.com/f46/plo-100...llenge-179877/ (http://www.cardschat.com/f46/plo-100-game-challenge-179877/) I would highly suggest this if you have the 10 bucks to spare. If you are decent at holdem you should be able to build up a little and see a lot of hands in the process. Keep in mind though that these are as others have said donkfests. That doesn't mean you should play them it just means you have to learn how to adjust. GL |

| The PS $0.10 Sit'n Go (360 players) can be used to build a small bankroll. When I have donked my PS holdings away in a beer haze, thats what I normally use to get started again. My method is playing 4 at a time and just using patience. It works |

Never this ^ I'll actually play one of those 10c turbo MTT's for fun if there's one reg'n in the lobby when I'm on there - - they're fun imo. (and 'yes', I usually cash... actually I think I've cashed in over 80% of them). Bubble pops in ~1.5hrs. I believe. IF you've got a good shove/fold game (& avoid playing marginal stuff in early levels.. unless you have great imp. odds & it costs you little). As you're approaching the bubble the blinds can be stolen relentlessly. These games are fun & very easy to cash in imo. And hey, they even add $50 to the prizepool. |

| idk about 'building the bankroll fast' in them though.... I can't recall cashing for more than 20cents in them, lol. If you've got a small bankroll I'd suggest playing 2nl although on Stars it kinda sucks (it seems much better on Fulltilt for some reason). Also.. forget about the get rich quick thinking - slow & steady is best. |

| re: Pokerstars $.10 MTT i love these Pokerstar tournaments, too bad other sites dont have them, i would play in them as well if other sites had these. The blinds are 5 minutes, but that's better than full tilt which is like 3 minutes. at least you have a chance to play a little poker with 5 min blinds. |

| Saturday evening i decided to donk into a $2.20 rebuy - with a $20 BR, which isnt the smartest thing to do... Today, left with $1.02 on my PS account, I went to the 360 Sit'n Go's as mentioned earlier. Playing 4 at a time as usual, i'm now at $4.02 slowly regaining a little ground. (I normally stick to the $1.10, 15 minute blind, 2k guaranteed MTT's. They seem to provide all the poker fun i need at the moment). |

| I've tried building a roll from scratch like this so many times. Don't do it. Deposit 50$. If you don't have $50 stop playing until you do, or indefinitely if you can't afford to play poker. All these tourneys do is provide you with bad habits for when you play proper ones later on. |

I absolutely hate ring and it is always being suggested to me. I have tried it it and I fail. Maybe I fail in SnGs and MTTs too but at least I fail less and I have fun at it......lol I play ring when I don't have a lot of time for MTT play but I have to say that the two are so different it is hard to say I do well and would be better just reading or watching a video than donking off my money BTW seriously it's the scotch talking don't pay any attention to me |

| The reason he's saying that kmix is because it is a little easier to play within your bankroll when you're playing ring, while still having somewhat of a chance of increasing your bankroll. When you're playing these tournaments here, you really are throwing your money away the majority of the time when you're playing with such a low roll. |

The 10 cent games and the 25 cent games can be a good bankroll builder. I am sure you saw my 100 game challenge at the 10 cent games. The OP never said what their current BR was at PS and they haven't been back to clarify |

| The rakefree 360man´s with a buy-in of $0.10 are one of the best ways to build your bankroll on PokerStars. I remember that Thomas "Boku87" Boekhoff (from my country ! ) used them for his challenge $5--->$100000 within a year. I tried it too, won two of these turbo tourneys already this month . A lot of good aspects: No fee, they don´t last long, good to multitable, soft fields, they fill up fast. Good luck ! |

| I only wish the fill up fast part was true for the PLO games. I played the NLHE ones the other day. Came in 6th on one for 2.20. Not bad for a 10 cent investment. Quote:

| i like that .1 $ tournament very much because pokerstars adds 50 $ to the prizepool . Most of the players that play are noobs so it is not that difficult to cash. Also there is no rake on the 10 cents. The only disadvantage is however that you do not win big. |
