I started with 3 spin n go tickets and built my bankroll up to 9 dollars playing spins, then the next day, I lost half of it trying out beat the clock. I went back to playing spins, but I busted. What are the best games to build from a tiny bankroll? Please share your thoughts!

starting BR

For me when having a tiny bankroll i would suggest playing freerolls and sitngos from 10cents to 25c, that way you wont hurt your BR if you bust in these tournaments. Also id play the smallest cash stakes and try to build from there just by playing solid. Also playing satellite tournaments from 10c to 50c is good aswell to try to get into bigger tournaments and those cash payouts can help your roll

playing free rolls is just a waste of time, read some strategy books deposit 60$ and start playing NL2$ and move up in stakes as you getting better with a good bankroll managment.

Learning Omaha 8 and playing small stakes PLO8 games is a decent option once you build up a small bankroll (which the freerolls offered by CardsChat can help you do!)

When played correctly O8 has less variance than Hold'Em so lower bankroll requirements (since you can lock up the low half of the pot and back into the high half).

Also finding many players that have no idea what they are doing seems to help!

Good luck to you! :D

this is your advice for someone new? you got to be kidding me.

If you are not ready you could blow thousands with your strategy to be honest before you figure out the game smdh.


I would start at lowest levels to the op freerolls pennies smallest stake sngs etc.. get comfortable build your bank and move up slowly

Since you are playing on pokerstars I don't know which games are offered. But I like the advice of playing micro tournaments and sit n gos.

If you have all the time in the world ok do that,how its possible to blow thousands of dollars at nl2 lol, just my opinion I think its waste of time playing free rolls and especially mtt cause of the big variance, I think its more useful to start build a bankroll from nl2 it's very easy to beat nl2 and nl5 I didn"t say just put money and go play, you should also work on your game to get bet better.

IMO, in most cases MTTs are the absolute worst thing you can play when you're trying to build a bankroll from nothing. The variance is higher than any other form of poker, leaving you with a huge chance of going busto in the long gaps between big wins.
