I like full ring limit, which Merge got rid of. However, OP clearly doesn't give a hoot about BRM. The lowest limit of FLHE on Merge is .02/.04 and I wouldn't play it until I had $16. $1 SNGs I didn't play until I have $22. You know how I made that much?? Freerolls. It took time, but it was easy and gave me a bankroll I could comfortably play with to not go bust. I may not make much money, but I'm not losing any of my own money.
I'm gonna give that bitch a freeroll, bitches love freerolls.

i cant tell you how many people i know that cash out big all the time but as soon as they do and have a small bankroll they go broke...bankroll management is very key part of the game

I'd suggest having at least 30 buy ins to start a level. Some people insist on 100, but I think 30 is enough. I started $1.10 SnG with $30, then the $3 SnG at $100.
It's important to have a lot of buy ins, because bad variance CAN and will get you, no matter how good of a player you are. You gotta have the cushion to stick it out. If you move up ranks quickly, you will bust out.
When you're in the micros, don't think of it as making money, think of it as gaining experience. You want to stay there as long as you can.

Unless a player is a robot playing with scared money is going to negatively effect decisions. I consider myself a pretty good limit player; I've made thousands playing LHE. But I've never been able to win when I've had only a few buy-ins. I think that bankroll management is crucial.

well I've since turned a 1.60 cash and a subsequent .40 cash in my only 2 freerolls in bovada into 14.70 playing limit and taking chances on $1 sng's so if you play very disciplined its a viable strategy. Got a bit of cushion now so well see how it goes. Building rolls on new sites from scratch is always fun. In limit you have to just only play really premium hands with a low roll people will call with anything in limit and you can often win anywhere from .5-$1 in one hand very easily with all the calling stations and newbie players who don't really know what they're doing.

I have made the mistake a lot of increasing my stakes too fast. For example, I on average win a heads up sit n go about 60% of the time which is pretty profitable in the long run, but if I were to bet my entire bankroll every time which I have done before, I still obviously lose eventually. If I bet responsibly and try to keep at least 10 buyins on hand in my bankroll, I do pretty good.
