Re: $50 bankroll question
Well, when I just had $50 i played $10NL Hold'em tables. And you might want to try the $10 PLO8 tables too, some easy money there [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

To the OP: When I had a $50 roll I built it up playing the nanolimit hold em games. I would advise you grind it out there. I would also read this post: MrWookie's bankroll building guide. It is the new industry standard.

Re: $50 bankroll question
Um... how about some bonus whoring at other sites to build the bankroll, then come back with a few hundred, and more room for error? I feel like your BR may be too small that it will change your game into playing too weak for fear of busting out.
If bonus whoring is not a possibility, you might have to go to nano-limits.

The .02/.04 LHE or the .01/.02 NLHE tables are great for building a bankroll from scratch. I started with $50 on Stars a few weeks ago and I'm up to $80. Yeah, it's a slow grind, and you won't be buying a plasma with your winnings any time soon, but your risk of ruin is practically non-existant. Just play smart and be patient. JunkHead

Re: $50 bankroll question
Playing nanolimit is a great way to learn solid poker.
I'm still learning, everyday, but atleast I've build a roll of $600 learning.

It's best to learn lessons while losing $.50 a hand, vice $25 a hand. With $50, I'd start out at .05/.10, get comfortable, learn, move up slightly. Occasionally take a shot at .25/.50. However, you can still dump $20 in a bad .25/.50 session. The problem with SnG's is that you can play awesome and still get taken out by some donk and finish just out of the cash. I placed 1/2 in 7 straight, then went on a streak of 10 out of the cash. I still occasionally play a SnG, but I'm just a better cash/ring game player. Why is everyone in a rush to get to 20/40?

Re: $50 bankroll question
I have a $50 Bankroll(almost $60 in 9hrs of playing time) and am playing .05/.10 LHE at pokerstars. How big should I get my bank roll before I consider moving up to .10/.20? I also like to play NLHE, but haven't, yet. Should I mix it up or stay with LHE? Should I stay away from sng's and tourney's for a while?
Thanks Bill

[/ QUOTE ] Because I'd rather earn enough at the table to live off of rather than maybe on a good day earning enough to tip the dealers and put a few bucks toward gas? But I agree that working one's way up patiently is worth the effort. Hell, I got depressed yesterday because the back of GSiH says Ed Miller worked his way from beginner to pro in 1.5 years. I've been at it that long and don't have the roll to go above $2/4 live and maybe $1/2 when I feel brave online. I'm certainly hoping Ed devoted more hours per week as a beginner than I've succeeded in doing!
