I have returned to poker after a decade absence. I have built up a small bankroll from freerolls, and am now ready to start making real money. Where should I concentrate my efforts?
Background: I have been back to playing for about 75 days, all of it in freerolls on ACR and BOL. I have over $75 saved up. My first two months I averaged $0.50 per day, and now I average $2.00 per day (past few weeks). I play no more than two tables at a time, and no more than 4 tournaments per day.
Choices:
mtts: I am good at these, getting ITM over 25% and final table almost 10%. I don't like the long game options available, often having 2-4 hours of late registration and rebuys. Best option here might be one or two (maybe $10+) games per week, when I can chisel out a six or so hour block.
SnG: I have never really played these well, but it shouldn't be hard to get good. Advantage is a set amount I could lose and short play time. Probably would have a learning curve, so I'd have to start in micro SnG.
Cash: I have done well in cash games in the past. I could get back into the flow fairly cheaply, playing 1/2 and working my way up as I feel more confident.
Others?: Should I try new things like turbo or satellites or blitz or ??
I really like freerolls and don't plan on stopping them. I'll probably continue to play one or two per day. But my goal is to build my bankroll as fast as I can.
Suggestions?
