I try to build a bankroll without deposting money. Currently i have $2,50. I play NL2 cashgame. Should i split up as much as possible. For example 3x$80 or is that to low to play with and should i go for the full $2 and hope that I wont lose it.

Goal: nothing to $1000.

From the above to choices I would just go for it with $2 at one table and hope for run good.

Why not just deposit $40 and play with 20 buy ins? You could always withdraw the initial money when you get to $100.

Given variance, which cannot be avoided, trying to work up from $2.50 into a decent 2nl roll (and then on to $1k) really doesnt sound fun.

of course it is better to play at least 0.25 SnG, than to come into cash with 1 buy in

what strategy are you planing to play?
how much did you play?
For example if you are somewhat new you should/can play 1 table and no try to "play as many as possible". You will focus on 1 table anв minimizie varience a bit by noticing "plays" from other players.

I actually play for 3 years now first with play money but that got boring after i hit 50 milion. So i started playing freerolls and my bankroll went up to $60 dollar several times but then lost after i played $30 spin and go's because yeah... I honestly dont know. But this time im going to handle it more serious. I have $4,60 now by the way.

tell me 'bout it. I lost 300$ in 3 spins. Why? My BR was like 420 - shoud have playd something like 10/5$ spins =)
but general rules of 40 buyins of any game cash/mtt... seems to "the thing". So far as I can remeber from any room I played the worst were thous 3 100$ spins.

I built bankroll of 7$ on spin&go :D but i lose everything, because i jump from 0,25$ to 1$ tourneys and here are better players than on 0,25$ tourneys. When I was starting playing poker i thought that it's impossible to win real money for free. Today it's normal for me :D

At firs you must reach your bankroll at least to 40$, just then you can calmly play on NL2. About splitting to low buy-in - don't do that, this ties you to the bank.

I'm confused how much you have. Is it $2.50 or $250? Play the limit of your chosen game. I have won and lost nearly $50 playing freerolls, cash and tournaments. I lost most in cash games so I play those every once in a while. I sit with ~$10 right now and thinking about my next move.

Hello Friend!

I think this is a complicated strategy.

Enter the cash with the minimum purchase I think is bad, and your BR is very low .... it will affect your game and your decisions will be putting more than 30% of your BR on the table.

I do not believe in miraculous campaigns, a good result depends on discipline and organization.

If I can give you some advice, I would avoid cash at that time .... with more BR you could play

Clearly divided into 3 at 0.80. It is not necessary to hope for a miracle. This is only my subjective opinion.

You should play 0.10$ and 0.02$ Sit and Go's. You should be fine with playing that kind of games :)

how did u get this 2.5 dollars?
if freeroll

just use it all to gamble for a big win, and start.

in general grind from 2.5 to something is nor worth the time invest.


so your best strategy here I think, is just try to consider how to gamble a big win like 40 or 50 somehing, and do not consider the situation of lose 2.5 , if lose it all, not any problems, just get another try from freeroll win.
