play two micro tables (.2c .5c) with $5 on each and see what happens, but it's better to just deposit $100 or more and start using some bankroll management tactics.

If you're planning on just getting lucky, you might as well take it to the hyper-turbo's on pokerstars, and just shove any picture card.. Seems to be the tactic.

10$ isn't really enough. You could easily ship it in preflop and lose it all in 2 hands.

If you're really determined to do this, you'll have to play well, and get really lucky.

I doubt you can make any money with only $10 but if you just want to play lots of poker then play freerolls and the cheapest MTTs you can find. Should be some for 2c and 10c, you should cash at some point.

Just play the lowest stakes you can. I would suggest sit n go's rather than cash right now. try some 10c things or whatever. Around $30-40 you can start thinking about cash games.

Op is from Ohio. I dont think 2nl is an option. Imo play as low as you can and just be a nit.

Play 2NL at 4 tables investing 8.00 of your 10.00 Try to see cheap flops with pairs and flush draws. Try to get all your chips in by the river when you hit. You have to fold most of your hands, but need the double ups when you hit.

you have $10 odds are you're going broke no matter what you play so play a couple $10 HU Sngs or blackjack or something to roll it up to at least $40 before playing 4nl (lowest US stakes), or else your gonna just go broke a lot slower playing 4nl with a $10 bankroll.

Or just deposit more.

Don't play blackjack. Unless you hit big on perfect pairs, you're not going to make a decent profit.

If you're really stubborn about not depositing, there's not much you can do.

You'd have more chance of doubling your money by sitting at a table and shoving every hand.

I started with 20....built a roll enough for 10nl which i'm on today....

Just nit it up at 2nl in a fishy table and wait for big cards. You're bound to hit.

Ten bucks, hmm play 1 hand of bj! The whole 10$
If you double u have a BR
If not you don't waste time trying to grind it lol
All in all you want 40$ min for cash games and 20$ for sng and MTTs
Or the best advice
Save it and win our weekly free roll games :)

Disagree, 5 BI is more than enough at 2nl majority of the time, my worst downswing there was barely 5 BIs over 40k hands. just nit the **** up xD

Further more 5 BI downswing is his whole 20$ roll. So again he needs 40$ min for 2nl

I'm talking about the standard 100BB deep....wait he plays at carbon, no 2nl there right? XD

Still, i'd say even with 2BIs, it's a better bet to sit at 2NL and nit up than dump it on blackjack.

Alternative is learn short stack strategy, but honestly, i think it's a waste to do that at 2nl where you have the opportunity to get a huge skill gap over the fish and deeper play with them is much more well rewarded

He can save it and build more from FRs or if he wants to play
Go for a real BR and invest good play time instead of crappy
Play. With 10 bucks, we assume he is sitting with max by in, his BR
Can dwindle 2$ down easily without even seeing a flop
And this can be bad psychologically.
And impede his optimum game play. Bc he may not
Take the necessary risks that come with playing cash, chasing
Draws, check raising, this can cripple his tiny roll in a heart beat.
There are too many variables. He can play it out and go for luck
But it won't be the best play he can invest.

IMO :):cool:
