How do I find out more about that I would like to know more about how you do thatyou might want to check out the "Poker Goals, Challenges and Wins" forum, there are a lot of threads from people doing $0 bankroll challenges. Some of them have done pretty well!
Has anyone ever managed to start off with freerolls and work their way up to at least a small bankroll of a few hundred dollars or more?
Would you move to ring games once you have at least $5? Or do you think putting that $5 into more tournaments would be better? I usually prefer tournaments over ring games myself.
If I stay tournament route, should I drop that full $5 into one tournament or would it be better to go with the $0.25 buy-ins? It seems like putting it all into one tournament will be the most risky, but you can win more than that from just one freeroll. So not really a huge loss.
I just pulled up a $4k gtd which has a buy-in of $4 + $0.40 and first place pays $559.The lowest paid position is 180 at $8.
Losses would be inevitable using this method, but 2 perfect tournaments would put you at a decent bankroll. I know that is highly improbable, but I think it is worth trying since it isn't really costing me any money, just my time.

I think it's best to play by bankroll. When you play 1 tournament at all costs and lose it, the feeling is not pleasant. I myself managed to get up from freerolls several times, the main desire. Once I raised $ 5 from the freeroll, I won 1K bucks from them. A couple of final tables in MTT have made me so successful.Has anyone ever managed to start off with freerolls and work their way up to at least a small bankroll of a few hundred dollars or more?
