so i just got an e-mail that PS has deposited $2 into my account. i play live casually, and only play money online to kill time. i would like to try this $2 into an online bankroll for micro stakes. obviously, this will not be easy, but hey, it's a goal.

since i am not really familiar with the world of online poker, i'm looking for suggestions that will give me the best chance at achieving this. should i try for $0.10 tourneys, or is that just too much of a crapshoot? any guidance is appreciated.

10c 360 sng, Just push when u got high PP's and push some more later on ez game to build up money... I started with $5 after i cashed out and now up to $19ish or so.

All I can say is goodluck...hopefully variance doesn't destroy you =\

Bit more complex than pushing when you got PP..

Good luck, definitely play the 10c games, even if it takes a while..

PS deposited 1$ in my account 3 weeks ago. I decided to play the 10c games but variance sucked. I managed to get it up to 2.20$. Then i decided to try the 1.10$ dons. Im up to 6$ now.

You can try the 45 25c man or give a shot at DoN i turned 5.34 into 25$. Just played DoN or 25c 45 mans. gl

UB sent me $10.00 a few months ago.. I reply with an email saying "you guys didnt ripped me of in the scandel but thanks anyways"

From an old RGP post

Balance-$2, Plan Buy in to .01/.02 NL for $1
Goal, turn that $1 into $3 If success, go to step 3, if fail, go to step 2.

Step 2-Balance $1 Plan Buy into .02/.04 limit for .50
Goal turn that .50 into $2, if success go to step 1, if fail repeat step 2(and hope)-Note, I played Stud at this level instead as I find it an easier game to control the pot and get inwhen you have the best of it and get decent pots, if you arent decent at stud, play limitHE

Step 3 Balance $4 Plan Buy into .01/.02NL for $2,
Goal Turn that $2 into $5 success go to step 4, fail go to step 1

Step 4 Balance $7 Plan Buy into .01/.02NL for $3
Goal Turn that $3 into $10 success go to step 5, fail go to step 3

Step 5 Balance $14 Plan buy into .01/.02 for full buy in $5
Goal Turn that $5 into $15 success go to step 6, fail go to step 4

Step 6 Balance $24 Plan 1 Table HU SNG 5.25
Goal WIN success go to step 7, fail go to step 5 until you get to $22.25

Step 7 Balance $28-$30 Plan 1 Table HU SNG 5.25
Goal WIN success go to step 8 fail go to step 6

Step 8 Balance $33 to $35 Plan Buy into 1 1Table 5.50 or 6.50 SNG
Goal 1st or 2nd, win Go to step 9, 3rd Repeat step 8, fail go to step 7

Step 9 Balance $50+ Plan Buy into 1 1table HU SNG and 1 4person SNG
Goal, Balance to $70, Repeat as long as above $50, Fail go to step 8

Step 10 Balance $70 Plan Buy into 1 4person SNG, and 1 1table SNG ( 5.50/6.50)
Goal Balance to $100 Repeat as long as above $70, Fail go to step 9

Now you have $100 which is good for 10 full buyins at .05/,10NL or close to 20buy ins for 5.50 1 table SNGs
If you fall below $60 at any time, go back to step 9 IMMEDIATELY and begin rebulding.

I turned 0 into 10nl br
+60 DON and HU

put $1 on two 2nl tables.

I like this except I had to FYP unless PS buy-ins are more than FTP//

Go rake leaves or something and deposit $50. Youll make life a lot easier for yourself

What's up with PS sending people $2? 2nd time I've seen it mentioned on this forum.

thanks for the input so far. i understand that variance will play a huge role in this. this seemed like a good challenge for me. i could deposit enough money to start, but i wanted to try to build off of this free $2. not looking to go professional by any means, but i would like to build a roll i can play with for fun (and to make a little extra cash if possible).

i've read some posts about starting small and working up some pretty significant gains, so i was looking at the best route to try to get there. there will be some luck involved, but can't hurt to try. keep the suggestions coming.

dude, go for the gusto, and keep gettin that provo.
