What your thoughts about playing 0.01/0.02 - $2 buy-in for intermediated players with small Bankrolls, such as $50 bucks?
I know that for begginers it's not worth it at all since you can loose it all very quickly, but I'm wondering if for intermediated players micro-stakes Cashgames are a good option to grow a small bankroll? Or should I stay with micro-stakes MTTs and sit'n'go?

Thanks for the response in advance!

Yeah I don't see anything wrong with that but I would start with 10c/20c blinds if it was me. Playing 1c/2c us just too slow and boring for me

Tourneys and cash games are two totally different beasts. After you have lost 2$ in the cash table you have also lost 4% of your roll. I wouldn't touch them if I were you.

Yes, I don't think you'd want to play on such small stakes. You're unable to make a substantial difference in your banckroll

I mostly play tourneys... But sometimes play cash. Last time was 10c/20c which I bought in for $10. I doubled up after a bit so I decided to try the 25/50.... Got myself up to about $40 here so I got brave and bought in to the 50/1 game and ended up cashing out with $85.

Big difference in play the higher you go but it can be profitable very quickly. Just gotta be patient and very careful

I prefer MTTs and SNGs with a small bankroll.. but it takes more active time at the tables compared to the cash game in my opinion

The buy-in is very low, it will take a long time to make any difference in your Bankroll, but you can join the Rake the Rake Freeroll of 0.01c

$50 is plenty to play $2NL. Obviously it's a slow way to grow a bankroll, but it's a good way to start winning at cash games and then move up. Less variance than MTTs too.

You say you are intermediate player, but do you mean for MTTs? Or for cash as well? MTT and cash are quite different games so if you are relatively new to cash games it makes sense to start at the lowest stakes.

better play tournaments at low limits you will have time to take your time to raise money quickly then you will quickly lose everything you earn
