If you have $20 from freeroll, don't go out and play a $5. Just play $1. But don't worry about building a huge BR off of freerolls. If you win $3, play a couple $1's, if you lose them all, go back to freeroll. Don't just freeroll, freeroll, freeroll, because it will take forever.

Here's my advice for freerolls: 28 pays the same as 2700 and a bunch of idiots are willing to call all ins with crap like J9 or K3. I use the pushbot chart for the entire tourney. Basically push all in if no one has raised yet with A9+, A8s+, 55+. This way you either have a huge stack after the first hour or you move on. You could play normal after that but I don't like to play that way until the FT if I even have enough chips. Sounds kinda crazy but I won $23 on Absolute and $7 on Full Tilt in the same day doing this, course I busted in about 15 others but that's standard and rarely did I waste over an hour without cashing

If you've read the STT forum stickies - u should've seen that a four game losing streak in SNGs are seriously nothing due to the high variance of the game.

You've still got 12-13 buy-ins left at $1.25. But then again - if you got heaps of time to burn; and you believe your better at playing freeroll/$1 MTT; go for it. Just know that you should only be cashing 10% of all the MTTs you play compared to the 30% (if your a breakeven player) at STT SNGs.

Good luck

If you're actually concerned about the possibility of losing a $20 bankroll, I suggest you stick to freerolling until you've built it up to some larger amount, then take part of it to the cash tables and/or buyin tournaments. Say you freeroll until you have $50. Then maybe the prospect of losing $20 won't bother you as much since it won't be your entire roll.

That said, I don't think trying to build a roll from freerolls like FTP's makes a lot of sense. Look at how many hours you have to play to win $20 from them. Then consider how much quicker it would be to go work at something to make an extra $20, and to bankroll yourself that way.

Interesting strategy but only if you have time to play many freerolls in one day...
