| There are $0.25 45 & 90 player tourneys, but I've been hesitant to try them because the percentage of players that are paid (i.e, 7/45 & 12/90) seems so much smaller compared to the $1 ones (single table) where 33% get paid. So, if you're a decent Sit and Go player, I'd try the $1 ones, even though I know you need a much bigger bankroll (around $50) to ride out the variances. |

| id take the $10 and take a shot at a $10 SnG..or 2 $5 SnG or Tournaments...see if you can make a decent cash to get a bigger BR....anything under $100 is tough to follow any sort of proper BRM so id suggest taking some shots with your $10 |

| If not the tourneys, then the 0.01/0.02 tables with a small amount so you're never at a giant risk of blowing it all. I started with a $15 freeroll win on full tilt, and played the micro tables to build up my stack to about $70 now (and counting). Play tight, and you should be alright! |

| Yeh personally i would advise not to take shots at tournaments, too high variance and the 10C/25C tourneys are total luck fests anyway. If i was you id take your $10 and sit at 3-5 0.01/0.02 tables a day with $1-$2 on each table, play a nice 1hr-2hr session, youll be surprised at the profit after a few days...Good luck with your bankroll Also, PattyR's advise is terrible imo, dont blow your whole roll on 1-2 tourneys, its high risk, and the profit isnt that great if your gonna play HU tourneys. Id say work your way up to $30 before you play any type of tournament....GL |

| It does not take a year to get $10 to $20 at .01/.02 tables. I started with $20 in July and played 2nl and now I have $180 and about to move onto 10nl when I get to $200. If he takes his shot and loses then he has nothing. If he is willing to just deposit then he should be putting a bit more in, but if this means back to freerolls then the best option is indeed the 2nl tables. It isn't fast but in a couple months you can have a nice roll going and you'll have learned a lot. Taking shots early just teaches you bad management of funds, something that is hard to get rid of. |

| Play at the low stake tables for a little while longer. Once you have more exposure and feel like you know the odds a little better advance slowly to the larger stake tables. Remember it can be easy come easy go at any stake. |

it was an exaggeration that it takes a year mr. wall. i know other ppl on here with a larger roll than 180 that grew it up quickly. but the OP asked for opinions on what he should do...with 6 - 10 i figured give it a shot...if not..than redeposit with $50 or more...if your trying to preserve the 6 - 10 as long as you possibly can before going broke than i agree he should take to your methods.. i dont think taking shots when ur BR is below $50 is a bad idea....u cant even take BRM into consideration with a roll less than this...so all in all its your opinion....but its definately not bad BRM to take shots when ur roll is less than $50..hell less than $100....because BRM does NOT apply |

| re: $10 bankroll poker Be conservative!!! I agree on the 2/4c tables but id go with limit to start, so you can get a feel. I believe minimum buy-in on pokerstars 2/4c NL is $.80, which would close to 10% of your bankroll. Be careful what table you chose ive seen some pretty sketchy playing on there, watch before dropping a buy-in. Rule of thumb is not more than 2% of BR into a tournament BUT with $10 max its hard. If you make a few bucks on the 2/4 and want to try a quick increase, try the PROFIT you make on 5/10c full table ring game. Stay grounded, be patient and remember not many players become millionaires overnight, good luck Last edited by KetchupFreak : 29th October 2009 at 12:27 PM. |

I would also take into account on what game u prefer playing.i much prefer ring games and i know i can win at those stakes. Good luck Lazmansa |

| def play ring games if you want money, sit and gos take a while to accumulate a bankroll... start at 1/2 cent and work your way up.. when you get over 500 bbs for the particular level you can move up, i started out with 10 on pokerstars and was up to around450 by the end of the month, started out at 1/2 cent then moved up from there.. its quite interesting everytime you move up in the levels you need to be able to adapt quite well and adjust your game to the players when i say 500 Big blinds i mean you have 10 so you have got 500 big blinds for the 1/2 cent tables, so to move up to the 2/4 cent you will want about 20 and so on until you accumlate chips... Basically what this system does is limit the amount you can put on a table so you cant lose your entire bankroll in one sitting... Chris ferguson has a thing about it on full tilt acadamy that you may want to look at... Last edited by Jack Daniels : 29th October 2009 at 3:21 PM. Reason: merged consecutive posts |

| I would play 1c/2c NL. But, if you like to play limit poker you should play the lowest limit tables they have. After you build up your bankroll a bit make sure that you always have at least 30 buy ins before you think about moving up in stakes. You'd be suprised how long a downswing can last. |

| i had $50 and lost $40 in a cash game above my bankroll(got bad beaten and sucked out on the river a couple times and just went on monkey tilt), i stopped playing when i only had $10 and didnt want to go busto. i was depressed and didnt play for a couple days, but eventually got back on and was determined to win all my money back + interest! lol. so how did manage to grind my $10 bankroll all the way back up? i multitabled the 25cent 45 men sit and goes. only 7 players get in the money but out of the 45 players at least 30 of them are donkies and/or inexperienced playes. all you have to do is pick your spot and double up 2-3 times in the tourney to be in the final table and in the money, and with so many bad players its pretty easy to double up. they will call all in with ace rags, shove all in with a bluff, call your all in with a draw, call all in with middle/bottom pair, call all in with small pocket pairs. so all you have to do is show them down with good hands to double up off them. i multitable 20 at a time in a session and with such a small field size and lots of bad players i am in the money almost 30%. and if you are an average to above average player you can easily have that same percentage. and out of the 20 or so tourneys that i play in one session i win 1 or two of them and finish 2nd/3rd in a couple of others and 4th-7th in a couple others. in my best session i finished with $14 profit, and on my worst session i only finished with like -$1 or so. i would suggest playing these sng's if you have small bankroll, very easy to beat, very little variance, and depending on how good you are it can be very profitable, especially if you multitable these sng's. i would actually suggest multitabling as many as you can, because no matter how good you play these sng's you will get sucked out a couple of times and lose a to a couple of bad beats. with that being said i have grinded about $80 profit in just the last week and a half, could have been a lot more if i played more. thats my advice for you, since i was basically in the same situation you are in right now and ended up building my bankroll fast this way. if you are good at tourneys/sng's then definitely do that, but if you are more of a cash player then just go to the micro's and play the lowest limit. hope i helped |

it really depends on you. if you're serious about not depositing, or not re-depositing, spend some time thinking what cheap game you feel you have the best chance at without having to be as much of a gambler. i mean, there's nothing on that site you're properly rolled for with that little br. so yeah, br mgmt is out the window...but you can still exercise some responsibility with what you have. obviously, you have the most shots with the 10 cents, and the next most with the 25 cents. the rake is killer on the don's, but your chance of winning, i think, is way higher. i think 3 for 5 still earns you a few cents there, haha....when you put it like that...that's the downside to them. |

| I say stick to the micro stakes cash games til you get your bankroll up. You can just wait for good hands in cash games w/o worrying about the blinds going up and eating your stack. The blinds never go up in a cash game, so be patient and just play your good cards til you get more experience and a bigger bankroll to work with. All of the experts say that you gotta have a good cash game foundation to be a good poker player. So, I'd try to get really good at cash games first. In Tournaments many players go through long droughts and sometimes don't win anything for months. |

| re: $10 bankroll poker well i was going to get started by tearing in to some of the bad advice given, but i dont wanna start a war here but my opinion would be stay at the small stake tables/tournys, i think bankroll management still applies with a small balance, and jumping to higher levels too soon can elimanate a balance fast- believe me- Ive done it way too many times. Ive also made a healthy balance on MANY sites from freeroll starts- and a balance can go up quickly (somehow can go down faster tho) and really, there are many games and styles and I think you got to choose what works best for you |

| .02 cents Learning proper bankroll management is important no matter how much you deposit. Isnt that the first lesson we all learn when we start playing poker??? Isnt it the first advice any strategy guide has ever given you IE: Play Tight Poker and Properly manage your bankroll???? Telling someone to blow an entire bankroll on one sit-n-go is just ridiculous and the WORST advice you could ever give someone............. |

| $10 bankroll I'd take it and look for the cheapest double up sitngo. play tight and loosen up later and stay commited to small stakes til you build it up a little, like to $30. 5 out of 10 double their money, so if you keep your head early and dont call off your chips on draws, play only solid hands, you can build it up. I started with $7 on Bodog and played similar tourneys, built it up over a grand, took over a year but I stayed the course and now have accounts on 5 different sites. Trying now to follow my own advice on those sites. Good luck and stay comitted. |

| how to build from $10 You can do it in two ways... FAST AND AGGRESSSIVE or SLOW AND CONSERVATIVE if you want to do it FAST AND AGGRESSIVE 1) you need to figure out what you are good at, such as Hold'em, Stud, Omaha, Razz. 2) if you are better at Heads-Up, or 6-Max 3) The fastest would be playing Heads-Up Tournaments... but only if this is your strong point. It is very risky but it can be done. I read on BLUFF about a guy that turned $250 in to $25,000 playing nothing but heads-up. SLOW AND CONSERVATIVE 1) Here you want to sit at a full table with at least $1, again what ever you are stronger at, Hold'em, Omaha, Stud. 2) if you sit down at a Table with $1, and your bankroll is $10... when your total combined profit equals more then 10% you must walk away from the table... this means that if you sit down with $1, and your bankroll is $10... when you make $1 you must get up... so when you get to $2 at the table. Best of Luck |

| re: $10 bankroll poker Keep playing low stakes. I would recommend that you keep playing 1c/2c micro tables and just grind it up from there. Taking a stab at a $10 tourney is not a good idea. This will give you terrible habits for when you do decide to really start playing poker seriously at much higher stakes. Playing big tournaments will ultimately just make you eventually go broke. You will also start to tilt when you lose too much. Just keep playing micro limits and youll be fine. Good luck! |
