Best way to build bankroll from $100?

I'm not sure if there is a thread on this already, if there is any help where it's at will be apreciated. So anyway, I need some help on the best way to build a bankroll from a $100? I play on FTP and mostly micro, to low pot limit, and mostly NL games. I do well in MTT, and have been playing for about 2 years or so online, and i'm currently reading books on strategy, but some help with bankroll management would be nice. Thanks guys!

Ps. anyone know anything about face the ace?

You've been playing 'online' for 2yrs. & have read lots of books but are wondering how to build a bankroll from $100? My question to you is.. "Who else could possibly have a clue as to what games would be most profitable for you? What's been working for you... and what hasn't?"
With 2yrs. of online poker under your belt, I would think this would be obvious by now?? Perhaps I'm missing something here?... OR... is this a 'Freedom 65' post?

You're on Full Tilt so go to the academy and watch Fergusen's session on bankroll management. As for the Face the Ace there's a post on CC, or go to Full Tilt since they're the ones that have it.

BTW sarcasm is sooo underrated.

For one the books Iv read have not talked about how to build a bankroll from $100. Two, Yes I have been playing for a while and I know I do well in MTT, but what is wrong with asking the opinions of others on this matter? Isn't that why we are all here? And even if I have read about it or know how to do this, if I get 1 post that is of value, or something that I did not think about, wasn't it worth asking? I might make a post asking how to play top pairs, and already know how mainly, but if someone explains something in a different manner than I have previously been thinking, then the thread was worth it to me. Instead of being cynical & sarcastic about my threads, go worry about your own if you have nothing of value to add here.

I recommend the FullTilt Poker Academy.

LOTS of great stuff there.

as far as building bankroll, look for low money buy-ins with overspreads,
such as the ones here on CardChat !

yes check out the fulltilt academy but also go to tips from the pros and read the chris ferguson challenge. i'm try to build a BR from nothing as well. i was sort of kicking around an idea of keeping a seperate BR for cash games one for MTTs and maybe one for STTs. what i would do if i had a BR of $100 i would split it up $45 in the cash games for 2NL and $55 for MTTs for $1 buyins. but keep both rolls seperate. see how you do with both.

Really though, You should probably expect some not so helpful comments with a topic such as this, because questions such as this have been asked a thousand times over. The search button is great on forums. Type in Bankroll management and you'll find everything you've ever wanted.

The best way to build your bankroll is definitely different for everyone. I personally am finding I do much better at smaller MTT's (45-180 people) and pretty horrible at cash games. For others its the opposite.

Stick to solid BRM, thats the most important.

If after 2 years of online play you don't know what games you're better at, the only thing anyone can tell you is to keep playing different types of games until you find you're game. IMO the one you have an edge at should already be apparent.

re: Best way to build bankroll from $100? poker

I'm definately better at MTT 180+, this is where I have won the most $$, but my question refers to wheather or not I should be playing low cash games with a limited bankroll. I guess if you do well in a certain area, there would be no reason to change it obviously, but like I said, I wasn't sure if tournaments are considered proper strategy for BRM. I don't know why you guys keep saying I don't know what game i'm good at. MULTI-TABLE TOURNAMENTS IS WHAT I AM BEST AT. I have said it twice already. I guess if you consider cash games, then you can double your money if you win and leave, with tournaments you have to beat every 1 or close to every 1 to get a good cash. Even though I do ok in these type of tournaments, I was posting this thread to see if cash games would be a better way to build a bankroll. As far as my skill in cash games, i'm ok, but I have a little less experience playing in CG's versus MTT. And BTW, sorry guys for posting this type of repeated thread.

If you are good at MTT then play them! You should be able to make the 100 bucks in a few month then...

I'd be careful playing HUSNG's at the micros. The rake will catch up to you very fast after about 30 or so games! You need to be winning about 55%+ to stay ahead of rake!

..... agreed about the HU micro SNG's

I believe you've misinterpretted my post here on your thread. My intentions weren't to come across like a dick. I felt I was just simply stating the obvious. Each form of the game NLHE is different from the other (ie. SNG, MTT, short-handed, full tables, HU, FR cash tables, 6-MaxNL, etc.). Again.... with 2yrs. under your belt I can't see how I could possibly be able to advise you on what might be most profitable for you? How could I?
Myself, I haven't played alot of cash tables online... maybe 100K hands or so max. I've read a bunch on the game and overall have done pretty decently but for sure it's not my niche or forte. If I had hopes of it being so, I would read up more about it, play more of it, review more HH's, follow more threads, etc. etc.
It would be one thing if you weren't playing profitably any forms of the game and were looking to branch out but if you already know what you do well in... the question seems mute.
The trouble with playing MTT's on a limited roll is that you're only able to enter into the super micro buyins and as mentioned, you really don't hit the decent money unless you get up towards the top of the payout. Personally I play them because I like them the most, not necessarily to be maximizing my profits on the tables (or looking for highest hourly rate, etc.). I just plain out & out like them. Because of this, I find it easier to dig into more material on them.
I suppose if my roll was small (as it is on some sites) I'd opt to build on my 6-MaxNL game and would probably grind away on the 5NL tables, in hopes of getting onto the 10NL tables and then once I was rolled well enough, over to MTTs & SNGs. RyanFees 6-Max Strategy Guide has been helpful for me in this regard, although perhaps a bit advanced for the super micros. Still...it helped open up my mind to the game a bunch more.

This comment above by cardplayer52 interests me. This is something I have been trying to do, so that I can track which games I am most profitable at. I am doing it simply by having a look at the numbers in poker tracker every now and then, which is not the most ideal way of viewing it. Is it possible to make 2 separate bankrolls in your Full tilt account and only pay out of one of them for certain types of tournaments? I would like it to be something like the tournament money setup, but when I buy into cash games I choose one, and the money goes back into that bank roll, when I buy into SnGs, I use the other and the money goes back into it. Anyone know if that functionality exists on Full Tilt or any of the other sites?

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all the post, and sorry pokerorfice for the misunderstanding, and I will check out that book on 6-max.I also agree with the fact that you have to stick with micro buyin for MTT in this situation which makes it a little tough. I'm trying out new areas, so far, I have been winning at HU sng since my last post. I have managed to win about 40$ profit at the $2, and once I was a little more confident I tried out the $5 and was crushing them, about 3-4 in a row. I havn't lost but 1 $2 game out of about 10-12 games or so. I'll keep at these and I'm also going to try some low 10-20 cash and let you guys know how it goes.

I tried the same thing. I won like ten in a row. Thought I was the best HU player EVER!!!
I got cocky, played like a donk, and lost the next 4 or 5.Then I felt like I was the worst HU player EVER!!!

HU can be profitable, but don't let your success go to your head. Play your game, not theirs.
