| Interesting question. I'm curious to hear what others have to say. The logical answer is whatever your bankroll can handle using good bankroll management, and what you're comfortable with. At the micro limits I haven't noticed too big of a difference between freeroll play. |

| In my personal opinion the best way to learn would have to be SNGs. The reason for this is that at a realtively low buy-in, you'll get a lot of poker hands in with little risk. So, while you may only pay $1 to play in the SNGs, you're going ot get in a whole lot of hands that would've cost you much more in a ring game. The problem with MTTs is they end up being donkaments with people pushing all-in all the time and you won't end up learning much. At least in an SNG you are only risking your small buy-in to play a whole lot of poker. |

| I guess the only problem with $1 SNG's at Full Tilt is the rake. These things are $1 + $.25. A standard SNG is usually a 10% rake or even slightly less at higher levels. So, you're throwing away 2.5x the normal rake per SNG. It's a different skill set, but why not try the 1 cent/ 2 cent cash games until you put together enough money to play at the $2 + $.25 or higher SNGs? |

| I've been trying to decide myself for some time what the best way to go is - In reading these responses it looks like its SNG's. In saying that what is the best option to begin with, a Single Table SNG or a Multi Table ie 45 man or 30 man SNG for $1 ? I'm not looking to multi-table 5 or 6 tables at once. I'll start with one then possibly add another table later on. |

When I clear thru these 3 and build the BR up to properly handle cash play variance, I will be getting his Cash Game books. Also, don't be stubborn about buying books (some people have this mentality) because most want to learn from experience, rather than spend money. Consider books an investment to win more money in the future. I've used my weekend house game winnings to pay for all mine so far. Well worth it. Last edited by john003 : 7th July 2009 at 10:39 PM. |

| Definitely SNGs. Build that BR and then jump into the cash games. Alternatively, now that both FTP and Stars have micro-micro cash games, that is a reasonable alternative. You might consider a mix of limit and no limit or pot limit games to see which you like best. |

| I agree about working single table SnG's. Its where I started and a great place to learn but I discovered that 3 table SnG's are my forte. Out of my last 12 3 table SnG's, took 1st in 8 and cashed in 2. 6 single table SnG's during that time frame; 1 cash. No clue why the variance. I understand its a small sample size, but just a little consistency would be nice. |

| Check out the Fergurson blog on fulltilt where he worked his bankroll up. Seems like a good model for finding your play. Good bankroll mgmt will probably dictate where you play. Play at the level the roll commands. I like to mix play between ring, sngs and mtts to keep fresh and interesting. |

| id say start with SnG's. Then go to MTT's. It all depends however on the bankroll and what it can handle etc. As long as you don't start with Cash Tables everythings good! Last thing you want is to be discouraged with things. Play money can also help (Y) but donksvillarizona doesnt!!!! |

| maybe not best way to learn but i have found good way to boost bankroll is 10bb shortstack at cash games. its easy to clear bonus and there's simple strategy chart u can follow. my friend says it is good for total beginner to get used to software and variance |

You will loose less money in sng's for the amount of hands you play starting out. |

Deposit $20-$100 and when you loose it deposit more. Also note: Your bank role is not just what you have online. I think it's silly how some many people talk about bank roll management. If you are playing poker for your primary source of income or if you are trying to run $5 into $1000 THEN its important. Not for someone who can afford to deposit several time while they learn. |

TAG, is the way to go. SNGs are the way to go. You will learn a lot more playing in SNGs, then you would in ring games, you can move up to 18 player SNGs, you can keep moving up as the better you get = more pay out. |

cash will def. teach you more than sngs because cash youre at least 100bb's deep. the end of sngs are all simple ICM, so theres not toooo much to learn in that regard. |
