Default Building Bankroll

I have been playing for about two years and have been profitable for the past six months. What is the fastest way to build my bankroll. I currently have about $1,000 so I can only $.25 no limit (50 max buyins).

Thanks,

Greg <font color="red"> </font>

The fastest way would be to play a few $300 sit and go tournaments at Poker Stars. You could nearly quintuple your bankroll in just a few hours by coming in first every time.

Now, if you want a reliable way to build your bankroll, then just keep playing good poker at limits that are suitable for your current financial situation. Outside of winning a large multi-table tourney, there is not a "fast" way of building a bankroll. But if you play well, you will see strong steady progress in your winnings.

Poker is not a 100 yard dash...it's a marathon (followed by another marathon, and another marathon). Play like it....

A lot of players like the lower limit SnGs (&lt;$30) to build a Bankroll. Since you are a NL player this might be a good path for you to take.

The other alternative for someone just starting out is to spend some time bonuswhoring all the various poker sites. You can make well over $1K just in bonuses with all the poker sites out there these days. Visit the Zoo if you want some specifics on how to start out down this path.
