I've been trying to build a bankroll from freerolls for a few months now. I have placed in the top 10 a few times and got myself a $5-10 bankroll a few different times. I've tried to build my tiny freeroll winings by playing $0.5-1 SNG:s and tournaments and always managed to go bust after a while. The other day when my BR was down to $1 I tried a 0.01/0.02 cash table for the first time and I realized I could just sit there and simply wait for the really good cards. It wasn't all that exciting but there was no need for risky special moves like blind steals, or bluff shoving as the blinds don't ever go up. After a couple of hours my bankroll was up to $3. So no now I'm thinking what the h-ll have I been doing playing all those SNG:s (and sometimes tournaments for hours) with that tiny bankroll?? Sure, sometimes I cash pretty good in the sngs/tourneys but the variance always catches up with me at some point.
I thought SNGs and tournaments were my thing and that's the strategy I've read up on and trying to learn. But how would I know, I haven't even tried cash games. Just took a few peoples advice and focused on SNG/tournament strategy. What do you guys think, should I consider switching to ring games at least now that I'm building my BR?
