In a month I've got my bankroll from $20 to $75. It's been mostly from freerollers. I'm a even/winning player at 1/2 cent. I hate it, there's so many fish and I feel like I always get sucked out bc players call PF with any 2 cards. Would playing at stakes like 5/10 cent be ok, with such a small Bankroll?

If you cant win fishes at 1/2 there is no chance you will win at 2/5

You could try .5/.10 CAP tables I have found them profitable. Try to obtain chrome status, mantain it and play on the Saturday freerolls as they have large prize pools. Hope this helps.

The guy struggles to be positive on NL2 and your advice is to play NL10? 😂😂

What's your advice then?? Or are you just trolling around?
I think mine is pretty obvious... "Work on your game make better decisions and beat the lower stakes before going higher"

He has been beating the 2 cent players as his bankroll has come up, right? He just does not want to play at such lower stakes as the fishes make it way to random (correct me if I'm wrong here) so.going up a little could help and CAP games will avoid loosing a lot to a potential fish move.

Actually he said BR came mostly from freerolls.. And it seems to be he is breakeven on cash.. So going up in stakes will probably result on loses

You may win on nl2, but loose at nl10, moreover you dont have a good bankroll to play in nl10 limit, there are many good players on nl10 and it is more difficult to play with sharks than with fish , so slow down and think about what to Do in your situation

I once for a year ago or so won a turnamnet for about $300 and decided to move up from 2nl to 10nl (I were a winner at 2nl). I went about break even for a month or so and then i busted almost my entire bankroll (I cashed out the last and stopped playing for some months).

Now I started playing 5nl and also playing freerolls and have right now built up my bankroll from $100 to $2500 (about 1.7k from freerolls, yes I have been lucky :) ). Even though my big cashes from turneys I learned from my misstakes and did not move up from 5nl until I were up about 20BI's , then I took a 5 BI's shoot at 10nl, failed, moved down, built it up again and is now up about 20BI's at 10nl.

Dont do the same misstake as me, play 2nl until you have reached 20BI up or something similar and take a shot at 5nl.

I bought in for 200 and have been having some measure of success building up my bankroll. I understand the frustration you're going through with at .01/.02, people are way looser and are basically calling stations.

I'd recommend you 3 bet more to extract maximum value and punish the limpers. If they want to see you down to the river, more value for you because they're calling so loose preflop (assuming they're basically donks).

Something to alleviate the boredom is to also multi table. I usually watch a TV show/movie and just grind 4 tables or so. Time will go by fast and you won't be bored of letting go of your mediocre hands.

Hi Jersey and welcome to CC. I would suggest, if you have been winning most of your money from freerolls, that you continue to play them and play some "Sn G's". Mix up between them, continue to increase your BR, then move on up the tourney buy-ins. Good luck :top:

on stars cash game are harder then mtt's if you are slightly winning at 1/2 cent but want to move up to 5cnt 10 cent that 5 times bigger so 10$ buy in 75$ is not deep enough to not go broke 9/10 times that's only 7 1/2 buy ins , improve your game+ build your bankroll more then when you have like 50 buy in's and think you have enough skill to be +ev then play the 5cent 10cent games

Try everything to understand what is right. Everything written above does not make sense. What is good for one person is rarely suitable for the second

Hi All,

I use Chris Ferguson's bankroll strategy he used for his 10G challenge:

- He never bought into a cash game or a Sit & Go for more than 5 percent of his total bankroll.
- He never bought into multi-table tournaments for more than 2 percent of his total bankroll.

With this strategy he was able to make 10G but it took a long time. Things are different now through playing several concurrent tables so this can happen sooner than 1 year.

Regular players strong enough for any Micros, the problem of bad card players is a Challenge on pokerstars and not many can pull myself together and play hoping to get lucky.
