what if the 5$ are not in your bank, but on a poker site, and min withdraw is 50$?
Even if its $50, its still not going nowhere.
It wont really change how or what i play.
Just means I'm not as bothered when i don't make the bubble.

Easy, if I would have some more bankroll I would play the $5 tourney.
If I had not another bankroll, I would play for example the 40c SNGs at 888 or he $1 games at other rooms.

Hi
The options you offer indicate that you do not have an understanding of the bankroll management system. At least for me, such bankroll management is not acceptable :)

Do we seriously need to be talking about bank roll management at $5? Go play some poker. The more the better, so 5 MTTs (or SnGs) to have a better chance of cashing than a single bullet. Play some freerolls on the side. Fill out some surveys and earn some pocket change to get a real bankroll if you can't afford to fund it the normal way. One day you'll be 70 years old celebrating how you did good with bank roll management of $20 or less..

I prefer to play with the highest probability of winning, which tells me that 5x1USD is the best option, however there are certain schedule when I can find tables with a buy-in of $4.5 or $5.00 and without many players, which indicates that my probability of reaching a prize increases.

hi! its not about bankroll... its a theoretical one time choice question, 5$ was chosen to stay the micro-range. if you need to set yourself a bankroll to even answer, just choose it accordingly.

to all the bankroll nazis: in this thought exercise 5$ isn't the total bankroll, its just a number to stay in the micro-range and options are in the poll.
the aim is to see what ppl prefer, 1 big bullet or 5 smaller ones.
The goal of poker is usually the same for everybody, to try to make more back than you put in, duh.

After all, it will be a freeroll. If there is a $0.10 tournament, that's fine too...
