To answar the question its better to put how much is your bankroll. if you are afraid to start at 50 cents that means you have less then its better for you to start at 10 cents SNG, if thats available in the poker sites you prefer. You can always move up slowly.

I agree. It's a question of your bankroll and the type of SNG that you are playing. Let me give some thinkings about that:
9/10-max SNG
If you wanna play very aggressiv you should have at least 30 buy-ins. An aggressive BRM would be 50 buy-ins. Solid would be 100 buy-ins and (very) conservative 150 buy-ins.
6-max SNG & HT
Here I would recommend the same, but for HT (Hyperturbo) I would say that you should have more buy-ins, because variance can "kick" there more harder.
For the next variations I'll give you the number of buy-ins which I would recommend:
DoN or Fifty-Fifty
Very aggressiv: 20
Aggressiv: 30
Solid: 50
Conservativ: 75
Heads-up
Very aggressiv: 20
Aggressiv: 30
Solid: 50
Conservativ: 75
18-max SNG
Very aggressiv: 40
Aggressiv: 60
Solid: 125
Conservativ: 175
45-max SNG
Very aggressiv: 50
Aggressiv: 75
Solid: 150
Conservativ: 200
SNGs with more higher volume of entrants I would play a more conservative BRM, because they are similar to MTTs from my point of view.
Hope this helps!

In order to give you the correct and informed answer, you had to provide more information, namely the poker room in which you plan to play, super turbo, turbo or the regular structure of the tournament blinds, the number of players in the tournament. Based on my experience, I can assume that you will play at pokerstars, which means that the multi-table SNG tournaments will correspond to the buyins listed by you. I would not advise you to start playing from tournaments for $ 0.10 because of the turbo structure of the tournament, which is not suitable for beginners, even if they have a huge number of weak players. I started playing tournaments for 45 and 90 people for $ 0.25 with a smoother structure. If you have a bankroll of 100 buy-ins and comply with bankroll management, you have nothing to fear from playing in these tournaments. Good luck at the tables.

Thank you very much
Friend,
Your table is very good, do you follow it and is it working? That week I was happy, I won first in the SNG 360 turbo 1/360. I've only been playing poker for 2 weeks.
Surely your table will help as a reference to me and many beginners, even amateurs of a higher level and who are following this post.
GG !

That's right, I started playing at PokerStars. My bankroll is small at $ 40, so I thought about starting in the $ 0.10 tournament. As my goal is to participate in major tournaments in the future, I think 360 is a good initial training. I prefer the turbo for two reasons: I don't have much patience to wait at the regular and the lack of time to play more.
Thank you for your tips and gg for you !!

Are you willing to play single tables sit go or multi table sit n goes?
What sites are you planning to play ?
Back a year ago when I started to play I played 500 sit n goes $0,25 , with 45players on pokerstars. Why did I play them? Because this tournament is in a regular structure similar to MTT, like other people said, 0,10 is mainly push or fold, you will no learn post flop actions, just preflop ranges of push or fold... this system of push fold is like the single table ones, you will learn different things.
Hope I could help a bit, let us know more about your plans by answering those questions I mentioned earlier and we will have a productive and nice conversation

Manjerica1,
Like your post, other friends here at Cardschat said the same thing, so despite my bankroll of only $ 40 I started to play SNG Turbo 180 too, $ 0.50 and I think that with less than ten attempts, I managed to beat SNG Turbo 180 and increase my bankroll !! Thanks to you who indicated to play SNG with bigger bets.
Tks and gg!!

any of the 2, depending on the stack you have in the cashier, sometimes in 0.10 tournaments they are very aggressive and only play all-in, without being able to observe the number of variants that appear on a flop, then with the turn and ending with the river

Depending where you play the rake for these nano-stake SnGs can often be outrageously high. Also games are still very soft until somewhat higher buyins than this. So if at all possible I would deposit 100$ and start with 1-1,5$ SnGs.
On PokerStars I would start with the 45 man 1$, which has 10 minute blind intervals. After a while I would then add in some 180 man 1$ and 90 man 1,5$ bounty, which both have 15 min blind intervals. If time is short, there is also a 90 man 1$ with 5 minute blind intervals (turbo).
At these limits the rake is to high for the 6-18 man SnGs on Stars, which I why, I would go for the 45-180 man. These also give a better preparation for playing tournaments, which should be your long term goal, unless you want to specialise in cash games.

Start small until you learn the game and feel confident in your skillset.
What is the downside of starting the the $0.10 game?
If your goal is to learn and have fun then the more you protect your bankroll the better off you will be.
That's what I found in the early years, it's much easier to learn and play well when you know you have basically infinite money behind (and with over 400 buyins, that's inf!)

This is the point, I want to challenge not just for you but in general. If you decided to become a serious tennis player, would you only be willing to invest 40$ in equipment and training? That would be ridiculous right? So why is it, so many feel, that poker as a hobby is only worth an investment of 40$ or some other absurdly small amount of money? Please aim just a bit higher if at all possible
If however 40$ is the most, you can set aside, and you play on PokerStars, the 25c 45-90 man SnGs are the perfect place to start. They have 10-15 min blind intervals, a low rake, and they are very soft. When you have grinded it up to around 70$, you can move to 1$ 45 man. Please avoid the turbos as a beginner, since its way to much of a shove fest, and you wont learn enough postflop strategy.

Being on PS, you can play with your hands on 45 players or 90 players to become more familiar with the villains. It has a low value of 0.25c / 0.50c / and then proceed to progress: playing tournaments both timebank 5 min / 10 min, if possible on more than 1 screen.

My experience:
- $0,10 - 360 players is a hyper - Difficult to learn something because when you wait for a decent starting hand you already is a short stack and shove pressures are the most.
- $0.25 - 45 players is what I recommend even do you have a bankroll to play @9man KO. This tourney is regular and you gonna have time to apply what you are learning at tables.
- $0,50 - 9man - if already know about push/fold strategy this is the one. Every SNG size you play you will face a final table like this in FR
Be safe,
Arnaldo
