Cash - $0.01/$0.02
SnG - $0.25
MTT / spin n go- I wouldn't play these until you've built a bigger bankroll

The lowest! In tables with some cents, like 0.01-0.02! Better go to tournaments with 0.11, 0.27 etc. buy-ins!

Why not, now there is microstakes with BI only $0.25, so this is 40 BI's, the field is very weak in this spin and lose the whole bankroll is practically impossible.

What site is that? I've only played them on stars and they only went as low as $0.50

Also if it's hyper format then 200BI swings are possible never mind 40

PokerStars introduces $0.25 micro-stakes Spin & Go's

In this spin players play a very loosely and can shove is almost any two cards. I am sure losing 40 BI's is very hard, even impossible, if you will play two tables and take gaming seriously..

i think 0.1/0.2 or 0.2/0.4 cash games

dat rake! lemme math this

So you'd need to win 37% average just to beat the rake, presuming average winrates in the 10% of games where you spin x6 or higher. 90% of the time though you're playing for an average of 2.45 buyins (x2 or x4)

If you don't rungood in that 10% (eg lose them all) then you need to win 41% of the x2 and x4 games just to break even. Yeah I still wouldn't recommend it, especially not for a new player.

Well a standard buyin for .01 .02 should be somewhere around $2. The rule of thumb for higher stakes is to have a br of 100 buy ins in order to handle swings.

That'd mean you should have a $200 bankroll.

With that being said, I don't think a $200 bankroll is necessary at all to start the microstakes. A comfortable roll would probably be $50 -$100 bucks in my opinion. The stakes are just too low.

You only have 10 bucks though so you are forced to play these stakes, as they are the lowest possible.


Get some practice and consider depositing more, unless you turn that $10 into some serious cash!

Good luck

With $10, just play the lowest stake you can find.

If intention of reloading, you can consider 50xbi. If not, have to observe strict BRM system like 100bi and/or above.

spin and go 0.25$ sit n go 0.10$,0.25$ MTT 0.28$ and you can afford 1-2 0.55$ MTT

i would recomend 6/9 prs 0.50$ SNG...
easy money if you have enough exprinese.

you can play only in tournements you fell confortable ,0,50 its pretty good for 10 $ you have thats what i do when i have only 10,00$ i play sit and go and tournements try on small buy -ins if you are good at cash games play these games good luck!!!
