$100.00 - Where do you start?
in Online Poker
Okay, here's the thing: You have an on-line bankroll of $100.00 USD. Take your pick between FTP or P*'s and tell me where you start out in order to maximize your return.

I would pick a smaller site with a decent bonus and not deposit on FTP or Stars until I could take advantage of the full first time deposit bonuses.
But...really I would get a job and then deposit a normal amount of monies:) or I wouldn't play with money I couldn't afford to lose.
If I had a regular paycheck coming in I would deposit more then I usually would and start bombing away and not giving a shit(in a good way, as in terms of bad beats or runs) on games and limits that really matter instead of the worthless limits I have to play now.
But with 100 bucks your looking at not going over 2 dollar buy ins for sit n go's and mtt's(you can take a shot at like 5 dollar buy in here and there) and for cash games I don't know.
Nice one, by the way, GTA . . . :-X
wats your poison? cash or mtt....?
For MTT I choose Stars. MTT sng's dont fill too often on FTP and those that do you're looking at the $11's at the lowest.
I prob grind the lowest level 180's possible.
Really? The 90 man knockouts on FT fill about every 5 min. $3 and $6. But I would play the entire $100 on $3 18 man step sngs on FT and rack up as much T$ as I could and then either roll that moniez into the $3 KO 90 man sngs or $6 9 man turbos.
But yeah, what GTA said on maximizing the deposit bonus first and also it is a MUST to sign up for rakeback.
I have actually thought about these and giving them a try to do that.
I do recommend finding a good training site and start reading and watching videos. Some great ones out there, and 2p2 has an excellent micro forum for cash games, I can only suspect they have them in their SNG and MTT forums as well.
The key is to manage your bankroll effectively. If you don't know how to do that, learn. It'll save you the agony of reloading time and again.

Take it from the guy who won 5K in a month and has nothing to show for it. Of course, I also didn't have a job and had to use some of it on rent, but still.
I should do this, but God DAMN its infuriating to play for 3 hours, barely make the bubble for $6, if I'm lucky.
I'm slowly developing immunity lol
Who are you telling?
I do not think he is an Omaha fan, though . . .
Build that BR from 100 to 150-200 then move up to the next level. If you drop 5 Buy-ins, then move back down.
You can throw in some sngs/tourneys if you're up. But the 3 buck tourneys max even with the $200 roll.
Just my 2 cents. Ring!
But whatever, with that small a roll $50-100, you'd have to stick to the micro SNGs. Playing 9 man, 18 man, 27 man, 45 and 90 man. I believe the 18-90 man have less rake (10c vs 20-25c for the $1+rake buyins) than the 9 man and also have more of a multi-table feel. I'd actually start learning how to play turbos and become a good push bot player because that a pretty easy form of poker to start learning.
My cousin wanted to learn so we started him clearing a free $50 on Full Tilt, then bonus whoring $100 off Party, then $100 bonus whoring off UB and now I have him on PokerStars with a $300 roll where he can how to beat the 45-90 mans by learning more about push botting so that he can soon beating the $2/180 man turbos.
In the end its all about volume, those who put in 1000+ games a month will see results more quicker.
