Ok, I am not sure why, especially as a member of this site you would stop playing freerolls at $20. If you are trying to build a solid roll you should be playing in as many of the PO tournaments as possible for both good practice as well as adding to your bankroll. There are already a couple very solid posts in the thread regarding buy-in %'s and so forth so I wont repeat them but I will say again, dont stop playing these PO tournaments.

Agreed. I don't play many due to my schedule, but I still make time for a tournament now and then. Any positive adjustment to your balance is a good thing.

And $20 is hardly enough to really get started. While it's possible to take that $20 and never look back, it's more likely that you'll be starting over again, which will just lead to more frustration.

Play the .11 cent tournaments. Then move up a little bit at a time. Too bad carbon poker doesn't have the options that pokerstars does. There, you can really stretch a tiny bankroll.

the way i built my bankroll when pokerstars still let people play in the us was to deposit a solid 100 and if i lost it, i would only play freerolls until i had enough money to pay it back. luck for me i started playing low level tourneys and started getting every good at them, so i had gotten my bankroll up to 1000 then from the it just went up. keep doing whats best for your limit, and play low level and get to a substansal amount to where you can start plaing for higher stakes.

Pstars had enough options that if you were good with BR management, you could never bust out. I started with $20 and twice fell to under $1 (once to 17 cents) and brought it back up until I finally grinded up to $240 before black friday

Options are limited today, and it makes it much more difficult to go from zero to hero, i have alot of respect for anyone that takes on that challenge and makes money
