Yeah do what you want.You don't have enough for BRM so play a table of 10nl if you want or a big sng it doesn;t matter
Big_Rudy;1848720[B said:]Matter of opinion, I guess.[/B] Right now I'm playing SnG's, so I'll focus on that. I'd say $20 BR is ok for $1 DoN tournaments. 5% of your BR per tournamrnt is a little outside the standard 2% that's recommended for tournaments, but DoN's are low-varience affairs, so this should be fine IMO.
Serious lack of variance knowledge ITT.
FWIW I'd play a $20 BI tourney.
No it isn't. A winning player will go bust like 50% of the time playing with that amount. I'm a winning player and play $1 and $1.50 games hit a $150 downswing. I also hit a $230 downsing playing $2.50 and $3.50 BI games. OP probably isn't even a good player so will bust before he learns a ridic amount of time.

OP is trying to use responsible BRM, exactly the opposite of what many noobs do - and are chided for it by more "experienced" players here. And what are you telling him to do? Exactly what those with no knowledge of BRM always try to do - blow it all on one or two tournaments. Alright, if you MUST follow strict tournament BRM, play the 50c tournies, or the 25c ones, or even the .06c ones.
Point is OP is trying to be responsible with his money and should be encouraged in that rather than telling him to do exactly what everyone here scolds are the other noobs for - playing beyond their bankroll.
There ARE options out there for this size bankroll, wether you choose to believe it or not. I was trying to give him options in the spirit of his original post of trying to build his bankroll at a steady rate. I'd still start with the cheapest DoN's and be prepared to drop to sub-$1 tournaments quickly if the first few DoN's go bad.
Every one that joins is Probably not a good player in your opinion. Lol I'm serious though. You always assume that whoever is new here asking for advice is a loser.
To gmuballer111 they do have fast 60 centers 10 players you can try. The blinds are 4 minutes. But I would do the $2 bounties just do not get caught up playing bad hands trying to get someones bounty that is where players really get screwed in these.Whatever you do good luck hope you quadruple it
in standard spots you can pretty much guarentee they aren't a good player. Occasionally you see a new player offering good strat advice but they are few and far between.I hate straights when the board is paired.Tough decision here
I was there several times in my first month of poker and several times I played for 1/3 of my roll in a tourney or sat with my whole roll at a cash game. You have less chance of going bust that way than slowly losing it all over 10 games or so.
There aren't any worthwhile options for that size BR, if you're playing sub $1 SnG you may as well not bother playing or use playchips or whatever else shit players do. I was telling him his best options, which is what he wanted.
Anyone who is asking what to do with a $20 BR is obviously a newb so obv not a winner. Most people that join aren't good players though, you only need to look at a few of their strat posts to gather that much. When they post shit like in standard spots you can pretty much guarentee they aren't a good player. Occasionally you see a new player offering good strat advice but they are few and far between.

Ummmm.... seems like lack of varience understanding to me .
Actually he wanted his best option to "build his bankroll at a steady pace." DoN's and as cheaply as possible. Lowest varience format, easiest to learn proper play.
By-the-way, very nice implying that a new member must be a "shit player" simply because he has a small bankroll. That'll certainly help our forum's reputation.
I just think you ought to chill out on the calling all new players losers when you yourself have not yet won a WSOP bracelet. When that time comes that you win the bracelet feel free to become Phil Helmuth and call everyone a loser, donk, fish.
How else would you describe someone with a $20 roll asking how best to win?
I'd describe him as a new player looking for help and wanting to start down the right path instead of someone who assumes he has all the right answers as so many noobs do. Here's a thought.....civility....give it a try. Calling new members "shit players" and losers = fail.
I'll add that I never call OP a shit player, I said people that play <$1 games are pointless and may as well play play money chips or whatever else shit players do. I did give him the right answer. The advice you and several others gave is bad.
Yep, WAY less varience and chance of going broke with your suggestion of putting it all on one tournament than my suggestion of twenty DoN's. Actually my suggestion was for a few $1 DoN's and move down if you lose the first few. By the way, didn't you mention that YOU played $1 and $1.50 games? Hmmm.
