Got a complimentary $2 on two of my PS accounts which I retain if I play at least 1 money hand and/or tourney within 10 days (else it goes bye bye).

Reading on the threads about people trying to make a break from freerolls it seems to be a case of freeroll a bankroll of about $25-50 before you actually start playing. Do you think I should employ a similar tactic, ie just play 1 hand so that I can retain the money then transfer them both to one account (min transfer is $1 not $5 right?) and use it as a headstart to build up a bankroll from freerolls from.

Or do you think I should play in some micros etc?

Any advise is welcome. I'm a just turned 18, long time poker fan, so haven't played for cash online yet, but I have played quite a bit of poker (mainly hold'em) in my short lifetime. ;p

The wsop qualifiers seems to look so much better than they really are; but I can't place it. For example the $2 buyin leading to $33+R qualifier. ~top 15% win.

Then the 33+R is one out of so many get a WSOP package?

Am I reading it right; it seems to good to be true cos right now there's 18 signed up for the 33+R that is starting in 2 hours. I am imagining 200 or so will join which would mean top .5% get a WSOP seat. Is that right? or do like thousands sign in the last hour? or have I got something wrong and they don't actually get the $12,000 package at that point?

You have 2 pokerstars accounts? not really a good idea.

Happened by accident. Never credited on either etc.

edit: ok so you can only have one.

edit2: Know how I can delete them, cos I made thinking you could only play 1 table on each account - I didn't really look into anythign at the time of making the accounts - I never tried to pretend it wasn't the same person (ie me) as in they all have same name address and phone number. I'll do a support to clear it up, but ok lets assume I am now 1 account with this $2.

Shoulda nit-picked the terms. But at the time of creating I didn't envisage playing for real money, just made the account etc. Then forgot which email I used so made another. Wanted new username so made another. All shit like that. What a fail I've done.

Should I email support and try and explain it and have the accounts closed or whatever? I put my full details into all of them.

I think that is your best shot, email them and explain what you did and they might delete one acct and leave one open. But definitely do that first before using any money.

Yep, ^^^ this. Stars support is great; they should be able to work with you to get this resolved.

Yeah. Step 1 is to have them delete the other account.

Step 2 is to play with that $2 when you want to.
$2 is small enough that it will make almost no difference in your bankroll management. So whether you plan to deposit $50, or $1,000 that $2 will make little difference. If you don't plan on ever depositing, well, then you have to play with it or it's just decoration. :)
Basically, if you lose it, it's a standard loss and you're back to where you were. However, if you win with it you can build that into a significant stack. So you either lose nothing (that you wouldn't lose anyway if you had more money), or you gain a significant bankroll.

just open 23-48 more accounts. then start playing. ok NOT a good idea. just e-mail them staighten it out before you get banned there for life. if i only had a dollar i may just play it off. i'm going from $0 to etc. but not everbody got the time. you maybe just better off depositing $50 and see where that gets you. use sound bankroll management and it will last for a while even if your not a winning player. good luck and DON'T transfer the $1 for sure.

Def close one account. Let's say you win big and then stars finds out that you have two accounts they can and will freeze them both. You could be out some money them. Contact stars before you start to play.
