Partypoker Bankroll building help

Edit: Meant Partypoker, not Pokerstars. Can't seem to edit title. Sorry!

Hi Folks,

Just recently busted a decent bankroll and have been grinding it up playing $.11 double or nothings and was able to get it back up to $4+. Just 2 days earlier they discontinued all sit n gos below $1.10. This is a problem.

I'm primarily an MTT player so here's what I'm focusing on atm.


  • Every freeroll I can enter (Jackpotfreerolls & weekly bankroll booster mostly)
  • The $.22 Tourney guaranteed $50 @ 1400 EDT
  • Just now decided the $.01 satellites
A small note on the $.01 satellites: I don't go the for the 0.20 addon and make a maximum of 2 more rebuys totalling a $.03 spend. Played one so far (post bust) and came in 19th for the $1.10 ticket. I'm not a fan of the $.01 cuz of the steps required for a proper MTT ticket. You qualify for a $1.10 satellite ticket (only satellite tourneys) meaning you are forced to play many satellites (in the order of $.01 => $1.10 => $5.50 => $22) before you are eligible for a proper $109 MTT ticket.


I have won $109 MTT tickets before but they didn't have the extra $1.10 satellites. You played the $.01 for 2 x $5.50 tickets, which was then updated to 4 x $5.50 tickets.

Since I suck at cash games and don't have enough buy ins anway is there anything else I should be focusing on to build it back up?

kind regards, Dims

my opinion

I think you need to invest some of your own money. Fifty percent stays with you. Ten percent is for the gamblers. This is where you can build your bankroll. Ten percent to the big wigs and protection. Twenty percent to freerolls. Ten percent to those that sit on your investment until you get enough to cash out. The last ten percent could be protection too.

Apologies for the late reply. I was away. Are you referring to being staked? I don't believe I have enough credibility and skill to attempt being staked at present to be honest.

Hey terryk. That would be awesome if I could find it. I filtered all tourneys by price and I'm not able to find it. Are you certain it's @ partypoker? I mistyped the subject title. :eek:

Congratz! Where are you in the elementary league? I was around 500 then stopped playing cause it's very hard tournament to score due to variance. Qualifying for high school is enough for me.

If you are grinding I suggest you play cash games & sit & gos more.

MTTs are a lot harder due to variance. And specially if you are playing satellites.

Good luck at the tables! Fellow countryman :D

Hey dude! Currently at 316. The variance is brutal. In both the games I played today got knocked by random junk while holding As & Qs...

I'm actually a really bad cash game player. Below avg sit n go player too. Still learning I suppose. But I do pretty well at MTTs for some reason. I built a $200 bankroll @ partypoker from a $1 or so and then lost most of it trying my hand at cash games just a month and a half back.

I'm honestly building a bankroll from scratch. Took me a long time to make even 2c from the freeroll but that gave me an opportunity to play the jackpotfreerolls from where I went upto 20c or so. This FT has boosted the total to 62c. If I remain the top 500 I get a dollar.

Very stubborn about not depositing. I wasted a lot of money in 2013/4 playing like a donk on stars. I won't deposit again.

Also grinded my 888 balance from nothing to $3.73. This will be going up soon!:D:D:D

Terry, tyvm for really trying. I found some tourneys for the 01st of June & it requires travelling to Montreal for the amount. Me thinks the airfare won't be covered by the prize money ;)

Oh how I miss the days of PP and PS. Pray one day they will allow it again in the U.S. and I can get another chance at the $10rebuy

TYSM Terry. I registered for the pokeraffiliateware freeroll but didn't make the money. I'm keeping a watch for freerolls via this site. Today, I've decided to risk playing the $.22 tourneys despite being oversized for my current bankroll cuz the variance in the 1c satellites is infuriating. Qxo/Kxo from any position, OOP, and still tripling and quadrupling their stacks time after time is wearing thin on me.

I'm still disappointed because only 13/15 games counted with 9 remaining. I thought I had till the 05th of this month and didn't know the last game of the last day of the month was the limit.

Having said that, I just wanted to thank you all for your help, support and positive reinforcement. I placed really high in the PS league this month. I am currently undergoing a verification process to ensure this is credited to my PS account.

kind regards, Dims
