Having 20 dollars, I find little to play cash.

Really wanting to play cash, I suggest minimum limits (0.1 / 0.2)

You must play tournaments maximum USD $ 1 and NL2 tables.

The idea of the bankroll is to be able to play at least 30/50 tournaments of equal entry. Because if you have a bad streak you can recover, and if you do well you can raise the level of the tournaments.

30 is the minium 0.66 dolars per tournament
50 is the maximum 0.40 dolars per tournament

whit 20 dolars

Hi and welcome to Cardschat! You're asking a great question.

The basic rule is to have between 20-50 buy-ins for a given level. This is based on having 100x the big blind as equal to one buy-in. So for $0.01/$0.02 games, that would be $2.00 for a buy-in.

$20 only gives you 10 buy-ins at this smallest level. Don't play any higher cash until you get to 40-50 buy ins and then you can think about moving up in stakes.

Many other new players have asked this question. You can search in this forum for "bankroll management" for cash games and you'll see lots of good advice. (And some bad advice too ;)) A good post is this one: https://www.cardschat.com/forum/cash-games-11/building-micro-stakes-bankroll-177533/

Really important to keep hand histories and post them in our forum so that you can get feedback and improve your game. You won't win, even at the micros, if you don't work on your game regularly.

Best of luck!

Micro stakes cash is a good place to start, or spin and go's if you're feeling lucky

I play the lowest when my bankroll is $20, it's safe but take time.

If you want to follow bankroll management rules, you'd have to play at the lowest level with such a small roll.

The safest way to preserve your bankroll and accommodate poker variance is to enter tournaments or cash games where your bankroll is 100x the buy-in of the tournament or the stakes of the cash game. By doing that a playing a solid +ev decision making game your bankroll would be fine and would see profits over the long run. gl sir

From my experience.. you ll waste 20$ very fast... I ve been there too many times sadly haha. My advice is to gather a bigger amount of money and start from there. But its your decision.. I ll wish you the best. GL
