After winning fun step 3, what are your suggestions on using that dollar? Should I try and build up more then go play? Or should I try some micro sng's? I'm alot better at tournament play than cash.

What have you guys done to make that dollar go a long way? Any opinions will help out :)

I could never bring myself to truly grind the micros, i always started out with a bankroll. I'd suggest just screwing around with it and getting as much experience for that dollar possible. If it turns into a bankroll, great! If not, then who cares.

I would start a bankroll but I already have one on bovada because it's a lot easier for me. But i do like the fun steps to pass the time and knock off a little rust off since I haven't played in a while. You are right though I won't expect too much out of it.

I'd try to build up a few more dollars. If you decide to play with it, I'd play either the quarter quicky, fast fifty, or the $.11 super turbo sit and gos.

I tried everything and I busted.. It was only a couple bucks anyways no big deal. It bothers me a little bit because it takes some time to grind those funsteps. All in all it I think it's just more hands under my belt. Thanks for the input though. Very much appreciated!

Fun steps are just that, for fun lol. Lets say you average 1 win a day.
After 30 days you have 30 bucks
Let's even make it less, say you win 1 every other day
That's 15$ in a month for fun
Discipline yourself to save up for a month. You will be
Shocked were it can get you.

What site?
Merge has some under a buck tourneys.

Stay true to yourself, if you know/think/believe you suck at ring games, stay away from them.

I definetly suck at ring games lol.. I put money on bovada about 3 weeks ago. I started playing sng's and mtt's starting making money, then I played cash games.. What a bad move that was!

So I went back to tournaments and sng's and I'm winning again! I won 1st place in a $1.00 mtt, and took 1st out of 174 people for $33.50! I think I know my strentghs now. Gotta read more about cash games though, since it seems it's where you can make some good money.

Next time if I was you I would take the buck and sit a the lowest limit cash game with the min buy in of 0.80. Play super tight and hope to double up. If you do then leave the table and do it again. If you but out you will still have 0.20 to play either the 0.06 tourny or the 0.11 sng. I feel the 0.11 sng is a crap shoot tho. Just my advice

I would try to play some of the smaller tournaments like the quarter quickly and the sixth cent because then you are not risking to much of your bankroll in one game.

As of now I'm not trying to play those fun steps anymore since I'm doing ok on Bovada. But I do appreciate all the suggestions you guys have made.

Thanks, and if I do go back to the funsteps, I will take all of your advice.

I've been banking fun step money the last 4 days and have a grand total of $13 dollars.... its taken a lot of discipline to just keep building but its going to allow me to play with better competition instead of getting knocked on the bubble by the worst hand.....or so I'm hoping!!!

casino?

So I started playing these fun steps and won a dollar this weekend. However I like to play O8 and they start at around 2.20 to play actually all the interesting games seem to be at least 2.20. I was thinking how can I turn this $1 into $3 and I thought of the roulette wheel. So I took my dollar and amazingly they let me play it in the casino games area (Has anyone else tried this?). Any how I bet my dollar on the middle and it came high but I would have had 3 dollars it was a 1 in 3 shot with such a low bankroll. I don’t know this just made sense to me. Was it a mistake to gamble so I could play more fun stts? So now I am wondering on my second dollar should I try to roll it again or just wait and collect more fun step dollars… I am so inpatient. I guess with my next dollar I will roll it on the wheel but for a larger win.

then try to sit in micro and grind for 2-3 hrs and you will most likely win that 2.2 what u need
