building a bankroll off ten dollars is more or less a waste of time. You'd be better off just depositing 50 or 100 dollars and playing the same stakes you were thinking about playing with the 10 dollars its going to save you A LOT of frustration.

Really is preference. You can do low stakes money games or play mtt tourneys at low buy ins. I personally prefer low buy in tourneys because I get more practice out of them and don't really enjoy money games.

So I decided to play low-stakes sit-n-goes as I have had success in them. I tried a $3.30 nine-table and busted fourth on a terrible bad beat. Got it AIPF and was 80-20 after flop and he chased me down. Did another 6-man SNG, $1.65, and bubbled again on another terrible bad beat. Donked the rest off in a .02-.05 cash game when another bad beat sent me on tilt.

In my opinion, it is safer to play cash games or sitngos. However if you want to potentially win the most money, I would go with low 50 cent or $1 tournaments. You have the potential to win a lot more at once (which will take both luck and skill).

Play your best game,,,,get the BR up,then you have some flexibility and it takes the `scared` money aspect out a little more.With you have to try to eliminate completely,to the point where you don`t care about the buy-in.;) Gots 2 play care free imo.

I dont put too muck money, I deposit 5 or 10 dollars and start from 1-2 cent Omaha, 1 hour and I have 25 or 0.... then tourneys and higher cash.

with a bankroll around 10$ you should be focusing on the micro sit ngos and tourneys, as well as making sure you enroll in all the freerolls you can to improve not only your game, but the bankroll too. ive been enjoying the .10 360 person sitngo's on pokerstars, goes quick but is a good way to learn and win small stakes. other than that, you can try the micro sattelites into the bigger tourneys, but even that @ .30 cents a pop will eat your 10$ quickly.

i think with 10U$ you can use several ways to increase your bankroll as you play sit n go 50 cents , 1,50U$ and spin n go 1.00U$ with this you'll be tweaking the amount of money you can invest on other tournament in the future

I have my own tactics for this. Go with 5$ on to a cash game and play your game. Dont be too tight. With other play .11 .22 .33 .55 sattelites for bigger tournaments and when you get yourself a ticket thats when you need to be best you can. Dont go with your heart, go with your brain.

Play low cash games

If your goal is to build your $10, then play 5/10 cent, 8/16 cent tables, but play TIGHT. Hold for very good hands then try to slow play opponents into a top.

Low end tournament s are a real long shot. So many donks its too hard to navigate to the end and get a reasonable playback. You can play for 3 to 5 hours and IF YOUR LUCKY, maybe win $2 - $5. Hardly worth it.

I always think the best way to build bankrolls its from freerolls. If you cannot handle freerolls giving you free money and sometimes enter to big tournaments, how are you going to deal in big tournaments? That is what I think :D

Played a $3 + 0.22, 6-man sit-n-go and finished 2nd to win $6.30
Played a $5 + 0.34, 9-man sit-n-go and won to win $22.50

Also won $0.15 in a cash game, so have bumped my bankroll up to $45.39.

Going to bed while I'm ahead.

I agree with = No1eJoker = that it's better to play SnG 0.10 $ (360 players) and 0.25 (45 and 90 players) and try to win and then move higher if you are ready, or go to the cash game for small bets and try to raise the bankroll, but it will be long and difficult to raise the bankroll at small bets!

What is the best way to build a bankroll from $10? Should I stick with the low-stakes cash games (01/02 or 02/05), play low stakes sit-n-goes, or try to find some tournaments with $1 or $2 buy-ins? If you want to vote in my twitter poll, click on my twitter link below.



For a 10$ Bankroll, yes I confirm that you should stick to low stakes but No Cash Game at this stage it will be better to play 0.02 990 Turbo players and 0.25 45players Sit'n'Go if you are playing on Pokerstars, see also this article about BRM https://www.cardschat.com/poker-bankroll-management.php GL and remember just one thing Play SMART


Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success.

One pro once said only play 10 percent of your bankroll, so if it $10 then dollar games are where your at, pick your best game be it sitngos or whatever and grind away as you increase your bankroll you can play bigger stakes!
