Hey folks, I started on Poker Royale with a friendly $10 bonus for signing up and have built it to $49 through $3 STT with 6 players. It's a very safe tourney with 3 places cashing out.

Is it better to focus on low stake STT's for a while or try to build through larger MTT's or ring games? I haven't spent very much time playing ring games on any poker site so I'm curious if you'd reccomend going that route.

IMO its better to focus on low stake STT's until you have built up a large bankroll and can afford to get into the larger games without the possibility of loosing all of your money in one large ring game. Early on its better to ere on the side of caution when it comes to how much money you have.

Just my $.02

Totally agree with JoeNavy.

Hold off on the MTT for a while longer. I really only use what I consider disposable bankroll on those. Not that I'm bad at MTTs, but you do need a little more luck to make it to any significant money.

You clearly know how to beat STT's why not continue doing that? But you can afford to try a $1-3 MTT now and again just to mix it up and try and win big!
I would advise avoiding playing cash until you have at least 20 max buy-ins for the lowest level on your site.

If you wanna try something new, play 2NL if your site offers it.

Play as many sngs as you can & keep saving the earnings til you earn @ least $100 to play the $5 sng buyins. Play tight & sneak into the $$$ & before you know it you have triple sized br.
