Would you risk it?

Ifo your bankroll goes low like $10 or so, would you:

a. Take part of it to the low stakes table and try to build it back slowly?

or

b. Take it all to a bit higher stakes table and try to bulid it back quickly?

Low stakes and build it slowly, unless you really want to reload now. Then, you could continue to play at whatever level you have been playing at.

I would get back to the freerolls until I had at least $20. I really think the variance is to high at the lowest buy-ins and risking your entire bankroll in one shot is going to put you at zero very fast.

Bankroll management at any level is crucial. Even at $10. Crunch the $1 SnGs for awhile. Work every freeroll you can for spare change.

You'll get back up there soon enough.

i would go to the low stakes tables and also try to get into every private freeroll.

I'd def go higher stakes

Low stakes and try to build it back up. As well as play in freerolls.

Its so weird i was gonna leave a comment saying ask inscore lol.

The genius of bringing bankrolls back from the dead!

I would play the 1$ double or nothing to try to rebuild.

^^this

depends if on PS hit the 10cent 180 man sit n gos till you have at least 20 $, on FTP try to play all the private freerolls and play the 10 cent . 50cent rebuy but i would stick with FR on FTP to many donks at the lower lvls and variance is a bitch also at that stage

Up the stakes no risk no reward, you have to gamble to make really anything.

Gl with whichever road you decide to take

Absolutley... just don'k take them too lightly they seem like they should be a given... but you must win 23 of 40 to break even (the 1+.15 ones)
40*$1.15 = $46.00 and 23*$2.00=$46.00

turbo's are 1+.1 so break even is 11 of 20 ....

11*$2.00 and 20*$1.10

What happens if you lose the $10? Can you deposit again? If you can't, I'd do the low-stakes sngs. If you can just deposit I'd either deposit now or else take a bit of a shot and play 5 or 10nl or maybe some $2 or even $5 HU sngs.

Low and slow. Easy answer.

Definitely go with the low stakes and the slow build. If you are down to this level there's probably some issues with your game. The low stakes will give you time to work some of these out and do it at lower stakes.

low stack

because if you don't have the quality to build it up again, you have to improve your play, get better til youre qualified for the higher tables,
during suceess not the quick money

Low...less riek.

I am working on that very topic. I was down to 3.75 I built it up to 9 by playing 1 sng, 9 players. I am creating my bankroll structure for playing using gudelines from the players here. A number suggested around 30 buyins for the games I most like to play. So I relaoded for 100 dollars and am playing the 1 to 3 tournaments....and mainly the 1 tournaments. I chose 100.00 because it feels like a challenge to me to build it bigger. Today I won 9.22 in a 3 game, made it to 18th (I think) out of 322....it felt like a gigantic win, because of my goal....off to try again.

Just becoming a member here and reading the posts and stategy guides here has already helped. It's helps keep me grounded.

I wish you well whatever you choose.

High stakes ot low stake huh? With a bankroll that low you should definitely do lots of private freerolls (as many as possible), low stake microgrinding with minimum buy ins and no rebuys and leave the minute you make a profit, and last but not least minimum risk maximum profit $1 SnG tournys. I would suggest 9 - 45 players. This is how my wife and I built our bankroll we have yet to deposit. Be forwarned it IS a long and hard journey.
Zippy

I live this.

I've milked a $10 stake that turned into an $84 cash in one tournament almost a year ago now. The first six months I squandered it on any tournament I wanted to play, and ran it down to under $10 about six months ago. Since then, I've done exactly what folks in this thread have suggested. Hit every +EV freeroll (made $5+ today) and grind the micro stakes (some 1/2NL ring, no tournies greater than 2+.2).

I'm not back to where I want to be just yet. I keep bouncing around $20-25 BR. I've cut it in half because I want to take a big shot at the PS world record 500K next weekend. But other than that, its been a grind.

Stick to the program, and if you play well, you should be able to bring it back up.

I'd have to agree with jazz. Grind it out and hit the freerolls and small buyins and slowly build your pot back to where you would like to have it. Unless you have the money to deposit, just take it slow and easy.

This is most definitely the best bet. The play at these tables is brutal. I think anyone trying to build his/her bankroll should take advantage of the DoNs.
