Hey guys, I was just wanted some suggestions on how to build a micro bankroll..

I was playing spin & go's at one point, but they're too inconsistent for me.. it's nice every now and then to hit the multiplier -- but when i grind them, I only seem to break even!!

So far ZOOM has been most successful for me.. I played 0.05/0.10 and 0.08/0.16, and every time I sit down and grind for an hour or two, I find my money at the table going from 5.00 - 10.00 to 40.00!! The problem is, whenever I hit the 40 mark, I start tilting; and usually leave the table with around 25$ (or nothing).. 0.10/0.25 are way too aggressive for me. however, if you hit a nice hand;; it always pays out as opposed to the lower stakes.

I only feel I have the patience for about 1-2 tournaments a day, and I usually place very well.

K.o 1$ sit and go's I'm either hot or cold win. the thing I like is that you can lose 5 games, and win 1 and still break even. but I feel like it's risky as you have to double up fast to win.

and regular 1.50 sit & go's I'm placing 1st about 3/5 times.


That being said, I feel like this is all SLOW money. (aside from the tilty zoom sessions).. (and random big multiplier on SPIN & GO) ..


So, does anyone have suggestions on what they've found successful playing micro games? .. what do you think /I/ should be playing?

Some sites has nice freerolls to build up bankroll. Also by searching those few sites that still offer instant bonus for depositors is a great way to make use of micro bankroll.

Well there is not a fast way to gain alot of money except if you win a big mtt, but that's very unlikely.

I play on pokerstars and they only really offer instant bonuses to 1st time depositers.. do you know any other good, trustworthy sites that offer these instant bonuses?

I guess my question then, is, what's the fastest way?

You have 3 chances:1. to win a big tournament, 2nd patiently play micro limits, which take a long time, the third deposit own money

The fastest way isn't the best way. The best way is to grind it out patiently. You'll learn much more this way, and it will help you win more consistently when you have more money to win

I can only speak for cash games but if you start at the lowest limits, use proper bankroll management and table select, you can definitely build up a bankroll.

You're one of the reasons why I want to move from carbon onto another site to grind 2nl.

A bit off topic, but what's wrong with carbon? I was thinking about trying it out.

Cash games start at 10nl.
Low cash game traffic.
No rakeback.
No good promotions.
Cash outs can take up to 2 months.

MTTs are fun, though. Very soft.
