just keep grinding it out and play micro stakes cash games. Your gonna have a small number of buyins at first but you just need to keep playing

was grinding earlier had it up to $65 then variance took ahold and i had my aces cracked by 1010 after i 3 bet him and he pushed on me, spiked 10 on flop he was pretty deep stacked as was I. Back down to $60 so still up a bit but felt like crap after the beat, got my money in good so its whatever but slowly building it up. Played about 300-400 hands.

You don't have enough of a BR to be playing most of the games you want to play. You got lucky turning $2 freeroll winnings into $30, but you will eventually bust if you turn around and use that money on NL games and rebuy tourneys.

To put it into perspective, I currently have $16 from freerolls on Bovada, and I don't think that's enough to play any games offered, because I don't want to bust my BR after I've put in this much effort to build it up. You also shouldn't buy into a cash game short unless that's your specific strategy. If you don't have enough to buy in for the full amount, you should find a different game. Here's the BR requirements I have to play the games you've mentioned.

.05/.1 FLHE - $40
.02/.05 NL - $100
1.10 SNGS/MTTs with no re-buys/re-entries - $22
.5 re-buy MTT - $50

Those are my minimum requirements, which also means that if I drop below those levels at any point, I stop playing those games.

Seriously? For an online poker room you are holding back until you get to 400 BBS before playing the smallest level? I understand the need for discipline in BRM, but really, this is too tight.

I've always had a lot of luck building a small bankroll into a medium size one ($250-$800) playing turbo heads up SNG's. I feel like you pay less rake, and if you win you double your buy in. On top of that Heads up play gives you so much experience because your playing so many hands. Especially experience for MTT's because deep in a tournament it's heads up play anyways you have a raise preflop and a caller making it heads up. Soooooo IMO Heads up SNG's is the way to go it gives you more value from your money while improving your game

I said throw it on the dubbs on suday and double your bankroll.

PO is a great place to build a bankroll from scratch!
