I could be way off here ( i usually am) but when you say

I usually just up the buy in to 10+1, 20+2 and eventually dabble in 50+5.

This implies that used to have a BR and either lost it or withdrew it for non-poker reasons. If indeed you did lose an online BR i definately think a different site with a $10 buy-in would be best. You won't be there for long.. I started just about a month ago after winning $50 in a freeroll and my BR is now up to $800 playing just $10 and $25 buy-in NLHE.. and I suck at this game...

If I am wrong and u didn't lose your BR at the tables then I apologize.. Just trying to look out for a fellow 2+2'er

Yea back when I didn't really understand the concept of a bankroll and I deposited 50 only to play 10+1's and 20+2's. I managed to get up to 125 but then something disasterous happened. I let a buddy of mine play on my account and he started out with a 5 dollar tourney here and there, but eventually he got up to over 500 dollars in addition to the 125 that was mine... He then would play in 100+9's mult table just to get to play with Chris Ferguson,(and he was actually at the same table as him once but he managed to continuation bet his AQ untill he pushed all in on the river with nothing) I guess when you really never had it it's not to hard to lose. Anyway one nite he came in my room and started playing and let his pride get on the line and like about 6 20 dollar heads up to this one guy. I eventually went to bed and woke up to a dollar in my account. So to make a long story short it's probably not best to let a friend play on your account, but hey you live and you learn.

I would buy into one Party $25 table for the full amount. You should scout out the table before hand, and choose one with lots of fish & maniacs. Then wait for the nuts and own them. You should play full ring so that the blinds don't eat away at your stack. Although, the play is much worse at the 6-max games.

My intial deposit was 100 as well, I got lucky and didn't run into a bad streak. Now I play NL100/200.

Funny. My intial deposit was 50. So was my second. And my third. I think my fourth was 100. But my fifth was definitely 'only 50 more'. Etc. Glad I didn't have 100 roll.

Oh I'm not encouraging depositing so below the safe requirement, I was telling telling him of my experience. I was a newbie back then and didn't know any better. Coming off of the WPT, I had a friend who played online and I got very excited about the prospect, so I tried it out for 100 bucks after reading some poker room reviews.

As a side note, I bought in for only a $100 on party back when it was bigger blinds. I built my b/r playing simple abc poker on the 6-max $25s, playing one table at a time, until i had a real b/r.

hey josh. go click search, click internet forum and search casino.

there should be a post with like 560$ of bonus in it, and risk of going broke is below 95% or something if you start flat betting 2$ on planet luck casino's 100% 100$ bonus.

i wish you best of luck on your whoring adventure.

Ok I have been observing the nl 25 dollar buy in game at party poker and it appears to be very soft, I know I can beat it. But the thing is would it be a terrible idea to play in this game with such a limited bankroll? I mean i would do .5 /.10 but they dont seem to have that at party, and the 25$ buy in seems real soft there. So what do you think?

[/ QUOTE ]

bonus whore all the party skins. that's like $200 extra after maybe 2000 hands. that kind of buffer on 4 buyins will be hard to lose.

play tight, play full ring and whore the reloads. you'll have a 1K roll in 2-3 months no problem, then you can concentrate on poker/rakeback.
