How should I build my $37 bankroll on full tilt?

I deposited $10 on full tilt a couple days ago, and have been grinding my money in the $1.10 buy-in 45 player sit & go. I have been playing these to complete my academy challenge so I can earn so ftpas, and eventually trade them in for cash. I have been making the cash in about 30% of these, and usually go deep at the final tables. I also do well at mtts when I have a solid bankroll in front of me(less pressure to win). How do you think I should build my bankroll at full tilt?

So, you're up $37 play $1 45-seat SNGs? Keep playing them until you have about 35-50 buy-ins for the next limit and move up.

Yes I'm up $37. Thanks for the tip.

No problem. I would suggest grinding these until you have enough to play the $2 180 SNGs, especially if you do well in MTTs. Those have great ROI if you finish in the top spots. Since variance is higher with more players, I'd suggest having a solid 50+ buy-ins before you start playing. To be even safer, maybe even 75-100. So, a BR between $112-$225 will be good.

Also, do you have rake back? If not, try seeing if you can get it. That'll help a lot.

I wish I had rakeback, but I got screwed when I clicked a banner to sign up with full tilt. They wont let me get rakeback.

That sucks. I guess gain as many FTPs as you can, get cash bonuses...

Or move to a different network?

I only play at full tilt and stars. I don't like smaller sites.

Table Happy, 50nl on FTP. Type flip in chat.

But seriously, keep doing what you're doing.

play the daily dollar 1600 for first i think

u got $37. u got over 120 buy-ins to play daily dollar satellites. why don't u just multi-table them and play 10 tables at a time or more. thats what i did and built it up from $30. u can withstand all ridiculous variance. games are soft.

I start to struggle when I play more then 2 tables at a time

The daily dollar does pay 1600 for first, played it last night and finished 900th after 3+ hours and only got $2.25

is the daily dollar a good payout structure? how is the play?

All the real money is at the final table. There are at least a few thousand people. The only way I would ever play this one again is if I was looking to waste my whole day for a few bucks. Even if you are the best MTT player in the world it is tough to get through a field that huge. The only way I would suggest playing is if it i one of many games you are playing at once and you have a long time to play.

If you get rakeback then it costs you to play freerolls.

But if they wont let you have it, then stick it to them and just play freerolls and don't give them no rake.

Pay your rake on another site,
(and use cardschat banners).

We all got screwed when we joined our first poker sites.
But actually they are screwing themselves because we just play the serious rake money on sites that offer better deals instead. :musicus:

its unfortunate you cant get rakeback as its great for low lim sngs.

just keep doin what you doin and once you get like 30 buy ins go up to like 2.20 so like 70 bucks i think

You should play most of your time as Stars then since the more you play there the more VPPs you will get and that turns into cash.

As for building a roll on FTP I have to agree that playing the 30c sats to the Daily Dollar is the way to go. Also you should play the games that run at :08 of every hour for 55c. These are MTTs that about 100 or so people enter and usually pays like 29 people.

I keep hearing Daily Dollar and have no idea how you get to play it. I've looked/searched and still don't know. Would be interested though.

Really amazing how some play so many tables at once. I had never tried two as I had problems keeping up with one at my age of 73. I ended up in a two table game a week ago as I was in 20 player game that ran over 2 hours due to slow play and had also signed up for a $200 Freeroll game that popped up while I was doing pretty good in the 20 player game. I got confused shrinking the games and keeping up with both and nearly lost out on the 20 player game trying to play both. Had to hold on the Freeroll until I finished the 20 player game, then went back to the Freeroll which by this time the chip leaders were so far ahead, I simply played for fun.
It's obvious that others are playing other games at the same time as my game slows down like approaching a redlight. But, they have the right to do it, but it makes play for others aggravating at times. Have the good day and keep up the play....

They are under single table SnG section. They are turbos so make sure you don't filter out turbos and if you sort your order for buy-in they are 30 cents.

Don't forget to un-register if you win and don't plan on playing in it tonight.

I used to be like this. I just tried to get as good as I could at 1 before i tried 2 ect... I play mostly single table SNGs and I still have a hard time sometime with 4. Easy at first, but as blinds go up and people get knocked out it gets harder to keep up. It's really tough if I make it to headsup on all four at once, but it is doable. If I get knocked out of one early, I don't start another one so I can keep the blinds close on all. Don't know if this helps, but i tried at least.

This.

And thanks Boston for reminding me to update my signature.

Yeah keep playing these and slowly increase your bankroll until you reach about $45 and then play in a $2 sng and see how you do. Good luck with your bankroll and remember good bankroll management is the key to success.
