hi, I started playing with 25 dollars, went up to 35, down to 20, sometimes within my limit sometimes above, I just got from 20 to 40 by risking my whole bankroll at 0.25/0.50 no limit, got QQ, raised, everyone folded, the last guy reraised I went all in, doubled up and left. I know I probably got lucky, but please tell me what would be the best for me to play, my bankroll is 40 dollars now, tell me what limits, how big buy in etc. , I play cash games, but I will adapt to any kind of game if it would improve my game and profits. Any kind of suggestion welcome, thank you

There are alot of different thoughts on this but I would say you should have 100 BB's to sit down at a cash table.

alright thanks for the tips, but unfortunately there are no .01/.02 tables on vegas gold poker, so I think I'll continue playing .02/.04 but I dont know should I buy in with 2 dollars or 4, the mistake I was making is that I was buying in for minimum 0.80c and when I doubled up I left, so I think buying in with 2 or 4 dollars would give me more time to play each session and more profit, anyway, thank you for advice

Switch over to Full Tilt or poker stars and play .01/.02
Get your BR up to about $100
Then start to slowly move up in stakes.

Also keep active here on CC and you'll eventually get to play our freerolls.

:cool:

If this ^ (ShortStackStrategy, buyin for 20bb's) is working for you, then why not stick to it? Playing deepstacked is more difficult but I'd think it'd be what you'd want to strive towards playing... but for now if you're trying to build a roll in micros and you feel comfortable w SSS, then go for it.
As far as recommending anyother games to play... it's a matter of personal preference.

thnx for the help ppl, I was playing for a few hours today and I think I found the game which suits me the best, for now... I play 6 handed nl holdem, .02/0.4€ yeah € this is the lowest limit for 6 handed table at my poker room (will change the room after I clear the bonus), I buy in with 2€ App. 3$, it gives me enough freedom to play, not like shortstack, so I come to the table with 2€ usually leave when I double up or if I feel I can get more I stay at the table, anyway I got up from 40$ to 47$

I'd say 'stick to what you've been doing so far'. So many times, SSStrategists get tired of restricting their moves to SS... And that results in disaster. I'd advise you to keep doing it - and trying out at CCs Tournaments. :)

the best way to manage a bankroll, at least according to chris ferguson is: 5%- tables & stg
2% -MTT
you should leave the table when you got 10% of your bankroll.... I hope I helped.
