Simple question, just want to know, what would be the best way to maximize this type of bankroll?

get another part time job and use that money to add to your bankroll. i mean you can play 5nl or 10nl but you'd make more money working and waiting til you had $500 or so to play 25nl

With a $100 bankroll?

It depends on how comfortable you are with poker and your ability. If you're a proven winning player above and beyond your $100, I would definitely start with $3.20 45 mans on Stars. If you've just started playing poker and are trying to get the jist of it, try the $1.10 45 mans on Stars. Both are great ways to build a bankroll. Another tournament I would suggest while playing $3 45s is the $2.20 satellite to Sunday Hundred Grand. Almost impossible not to qualify as most are horrible. Simply wait for TT+ and go all in and double up. Chip up from there a bit and you've got $11 already.

Good luck.

Thanks for the helpful hints, keep em' coming. BTW I have played online before and have done quite well. But, I am looking for a fresh start of $100 BR this year and try to get the most out of it. So the route you are suggesting would be to play the 45 man SNG's at the lower stakes, I'll try some of those for sure. Thanks again.

Bonus grinding!! Where to start depends on your citizenship.

Also depends how aggressive you want to be with your bankroll. If you arent scared to lose it at all, and just want to make money as fast as you can, the easiest way in my opinion would be to just 5 table .10/.20 games. The play is terrible, just play tight and you should be able to double up a few times quite quickly. Of course, this tactic isnt proper bankroll management, but $100 isnt really a proper bankroll in the strictest sense. Of course, if you really dont want to risk your bankroll then just do the same but the very smallest limits you can play. Seeing you can get $50 free at some sites just for signing up (depending where you are from) you may as well use your $100 aggressively

Can you be more specific? I am playing on FULL TILT.

Yeah I would go with sngs, especially if you've played cash games $1/2+ in the past you'll go crazy at micro stakes cash. If you're decent at HU the $5 hu's wouldn't be a bad place to start either.

Can anyone breakdown how Rakeback works? I looked on this site and I see all poker rooms have it. However, I already have money in my account and an active full tilt account that I've used for over a year now, would I still be able to sign up and get rakeback going?

Not technically but it can be done and worst case scenario if you get caught is they make you move your funds back to your old account.

They used to be able to move accounts that weren't signed up through an affiliate over to rakeback but I think they ended that.

Oh, well is it worth the hassle or no?

It's definitely worth the hassle, but not so much the risk I guess, if that makes sense. It varies quite a bit on how they handle it, apparently if you're a bigger time player they'll confiscate and sometimes keep funds, but usually (75% of the time) they'll move it back to your old/first account. For a micro player playing SNGs, yes rakeback is almost a must, especially if you play on Full Rakeback Tilt.

Just be advised you may experience a month or so where you're locked out of your account though.

Whatever you do don't play the nickel dime NL and PLO games at Full Tilt. The rake will stifle growth. It's twice as high as at Stars.

If this is all you want to deposit at full tilt, non-replenishable essentially, then I would suggest grinding the $2.25 sngs. 9 man, 18 man. some 180s here and there etc.

Throw in the odd $1 or $2 mtt here and there.

If the bankroll was somewhat replenishable (meaning say you wouldnt mind depositing another $100 down the road if you had to really) then I would include some .25/.50 limit games.

At stars you could start with a wider array of games because they spread lower limits for holdem and omaha.

But at Full Tilt the $2.25 sngs are a reasonable deal compared to the $3.40 turbos at stars.

Good advice.

Great advice, everyone. I was going to buy-in to a $2.25 sng the other day but decided to go up to an $10 + $1 (90 man) w/ the KO bounty of $2. Well, good news I finished 1st! ($230.10 payout) and I also knocked out 5 players which basically paid for my buy-in. So overall, took $229.10 in profit. My account now stands at $318.10. I am very pleased with my performance and the outcome of that finish. BTW on Full Tilt my name is 'mattm951'. Till next time.

I started my bankroll with 40. I just played dollar sng's on pokerhost. I also played the freerolls that were offered on every site. Just check the site policy on cashing out the funds you might have to make a deposit proir to winning the money from the freeroll. Sinc you only have 100 i'd stay away from anythng over $2 buyin Unless you run ur BR to 105, then take a shot at a $5 sng. Basically just be a bankroll nit. If your not american then sign up for a e wallet (i use moneybookers) and if you double ur BR then put 100 or even if u make anything more then 30 into the ewallet so u have money to redeposit if u go busto. It is also good to play on as many sites as ur bank roll would allow. I'd rather have 100 speard out on 3-5 sites then have it all on one

I am no baller but I am pretty sure i'm not going broke anytime soon

I'd missed ur last post. Nice to have that win but i'd still follow very strict bankroll guides but I'd loosen up a bit on the buyins. I'd have a bankroll level that I'd set though when I'd plan to step back on the amount of buyin's that you are willing to put up

i think sng's is the easiest. regular sng's will give you the most playing time, and less variance than turbos.

Easily one of the ten best threads ever on 2+2.

If you haven't read it, or didn't follow it live, take a look.

OT

whats wrong with playing in $1 MTTs with the $100 low risk high reward. ask me what site i could use the referral $$$.
