I can't seem to find a thread on this some im going to start one. I'm looking for a simplistic guide on good BRM for beginners and or low starting BR's and such. Even a link to a different site or such would be good. Anyone's method is also a good contribution to the thread. How about books on it also? All suggestions are highly appreciated. Looking to start out with around 30$ online at Cake. Need some feedback for BRM!

Im thinking of depositing 50$ now instead of 30, Just need to figure out where I'm going to play.
Firstly, I recommend "not" playing at cake, never depositing that's for sure.
If you are (sounds like you might be) going to get the "no deposit" starting BR for free though the numerous
poker websites which offer it then I guess it's ok to learn the game but don't ever expect to be able to just withdraw the money easily via cake poker, it's hard enough trying to get your own deposited funds let alone anything else.
I certainly don't recommend putting your own hard earned money there though, I've had nothing but trouble there. Withdrawing takes forever, took me 3months or so to withdraw such a small amount (they are/still are struggling with funds themselves) ($130.00) and on top of that, now the MINIMUM withdrawal for cake is $500.00.
I would go deposit at a site like
pokerstars and stick $100.00 on as they have limits for any sort of bankrolls.
SnGS: 50-100 buy-ins
Cash(micros): 30-50 buy-ins
MTT's: 100+
Again though, this all depends on your play style, if you're a nit then you can get away with less. If however, you are a loose 6max player for example, I'd cushion myself with 50+.
