Well that is if you p;ay your cards right, there is always a chance you might be card dead. 20 x the Big bet or buy in is what BR system you are going by so dont move up real fast unless you dont mind playing the Aggressive BR scheme. I would say move up to 2 dollar games when you hit 80 bucks myself. I like slow and steady because it will not give you that god awful drop on youy statistics graph. I think its awsome that you are building a roll to try the WSOP 09 as I am doing the same thing right now. Im in a big tourney Dec 9th at the Borgata 500 + 50 NL mtt so hopefully I can place in that. Anyways sounds good if you stick to yo... | | Read Entire Entry |

p.s. Don't go on tilt!
Tilt is for Newbies as bad beats are part of the game of poker. Get this I have had 6 today while in the money in MTT starting from 6 am this morning. Now if that dont put me on tilt nothing will.. LOL crazy game it is...

Well, thanks for all the advice, I will be sure to tell you what happens. One thing I am questioning though is that I did ask if anyone could maybe link me to some helpful stuff on dominating sng's, but mainly i just heard things about bankroll management, which is good and all, but I also want to start doing well in the games too. Thanks guys.

You need to tone down your expectations a lot. I won't try to derail you from turning your $50 into a massive pile that can take you to the WSOP. That can be done if you are good enough and patient enough and play many, many, many, many, many hours.
But you need to stop thinking that there are magic secrets that you can use to win every tournament you enter, even at the lower level. You can't. No one can.
Poker isn't really about finding the super advanced strategy that makes your cards better than their cards every time (or at least autopushes your fold button when they aren't). It's about consistently doing the little things that give you an edge over a long period of time, and accepting that it may or may not work in the short run. What separates the ast majority of players from the winners isn't knowledge, it is discipline.
That's not to say that a truely great player isn't thinking on levels and playing strategy way beyond you or I. If you want to consistently win m... | | Read Entire Entry |

Yep. Stay away from cash games in my opinon with that kind of Bankroll.
Sure there are games out there that you can play within your bankroll, but it can disappear mighty quickly in ring games.
As suggested $2 SNG is best. There are so many articles on SNG strategy posted all over the net. Tight Agressive definately works at the lower level. Read some stuff about the gap concept. Know when to push when blinds are high.
That is my advice

Play patient at the 2 dollar sit n gos at FT as they are the closest to staying within BR limits with the 50.00 starting roll. Stay away from Ring games as you need a much larger roll then this to deal with bad beat swings. set a limit on how many games you will play a day and quit when you take a bad beat. I usually played about 3- 5 games per day usually placing in 3 of the 5 games mostly first and second place. There always will be bad days where you might only place 2 for 5 but thats fine if you take first each game as you will be up at the end of the day.Thats the best advice I can offer you. Try this and see if it works for you and in time you will be moving up to 4 and 5 dollar sit n gos. Basic BR management 40 XX Buy in semi aggressive 30 XX buy in then 20 xx buy in for aggressive bankroll management. Judge the numbers on your winning percentages. Use checkyourbets.com to monitor your success and track winnings. This is a must of any winning player. Best of Luck!!!!

Fulltilt isn't great for microlimiting. IIRC, their lowest limit is $.05/.10, which you aren't really bankrolled for by good BR management standards, and (again, IIRC) they charge a pretty good rake on their $1 SNGs.
I'd say $2 SNGs are your best bet.
" I am in no rush here to build it too quickly but i want to at least double it or more within the first few weeks or so. "
The feasibility of this depends entirely on how much you play. You better be incredibly good or play an incredibly high number of hands to expect to double it that quickly.

With proper Bankroll management, of course. Read Chris Ferguson's article on it if you haven't already. Other than that, all I can say is play at tables with limits you consistently win at, even if that's just the lowest. After a while you can move up.
Good Luck!

Hello, I am planning on trying something new to create a separate BR without making a deposit. I will be recieving a free $50 no deposit bonus from "Your Poker Cash (YPC)" for Full Tilt Poker. I want to turn this into a ery large respectable bankroll with minimal risk of ever going bust. I want to hear some opinions on what you may think is the best way I should go about doing this to ensure myself success. I am in no rush here to build it too quickly but i want to at least double it or more within the first few weeks or so. What do you think is my best path for doing it? BTW, I prefer to only play No Limit Holdem.
