(yes i'm the master of catchy headlines)
but seriosly. what is the fastest way to build a huge bankroll out of 40$?

i can't play tournament and SnGs. I put my money in with the best hand, get the chiplead and then get a suckout after suckout after suckout.

I'm winning at NL10. playing very nitty with (a far far too small BR of) 40$ and a little luck i can make 10$ a day... thats too slow for me.

but what about this evil masterplan?
-if my BR < 20$ grind at NL2 until back to 40
-if BR = 40$: BI full at 10NL and try to tripple up
-if BR > 60$: BI full at 25NL and try to tripple up (if fail: back to 10NL)
-if BR > 110$: BI full at 50NL ... etc. etc.

i'm a genius

and yes: i developed this evil masterplan after 2 giant suckouts in a donkament.

I think that plan will send you broke before it gets you rich.

I could be wrong, but if you're constantly thinking about how to make money you won't be playing anywhere close to optimally.

You're main concern should be improving your game, not getting rich.

yeah... but before i can improve my game i need some moniez to play with. and with 40$ I'm always playing over my BR. Every suckout will destroy a days work. I simply can't stand it anymore. And there is not much too improve at the penny-tables.

btw: i think i will not go broke but fight at 2NL with 10-20$ for many hours... i've done that many many times before. and still have a secret reserve to start over again 10 times.

I got bored one day and threw 10$ into my PS account after not playing for like a year. All I played was $2 heads up, then 5$ heads up and 5$ HU shootouts until I got to $100. Then I started playing STT's and pissed myself back down to like, $28. Then I started on the forums again and I'm back at $150.

Try the HU games. They're marshmellowy soft.

Working on my cash game skillz at 5NL now.

Just grind out the 2nl or 5nl until you can afford to play at 10nl. If you earn $10/day like you claim you can be in the 25nl game with a proper BR in 1.5 months.

Forgive me but I don't see the connection between the two sentences.
How would a suckout not destroy a day's work simply because you had x dollars not on the table?

Just practice then if you really feel that way. Chances are you can improve your game in many respects even at very small stakes

So your OP suggested taking a shot at 10NL with four buyins and now you have 'extra' bankroll? Taking $40 to the 10NL tables with $20 fallback for more NL2 grinding?
<-- me
If you can stand to lose the $40 then give it a go. High chance of busto but you already know that. Do you have reason to believe you will be a winner at NL25 or NL50 even disregarding your <3 BI 'roll'?
No idea of your poker history but I would suggest firming up your bankroll figure (including possible redeposits etc) taking a realistic look at your game (many hours of 2NL many times before? Were you not winning?) and make an informed choice whether to take a gamboool or not.
It's your money and your responsibility. A couple of years ago the microstakes mantra was 'bankroll grows faster than skill' and if you're breaking even at microstakes you probably need to play better.

if u have a BR of 100BI you can multitable. A suckout doesn't bother you since you're making money at the other tables. with only 4 BIs I can play only at one table at a time. so i grind and grind and grind... after 3 hours I double up... suckout. the problem is: the suckout doesn't affect your winrate per hand but it affects the winrate per hour. if you are playing 4 tables a suckout destroys only 1/4th of a days work. It's time what I'm concerned about.

I guess as long as the money doesn't matter to you, go for it. Just understand that you'll have to run well (very well) in order for that to work.

Why don't you multitable 5 tables of 2 NL instead og 1 10 NL table?

20 buyins should have you coveredif you are indeed a winning player

You do not need more buyins than you actually have to multitable IF your winrate is similar with multiple tables (beyond actually having the cash to plunk down and the discipline not to tilt)
If you've played many hours of microstakes, SNG and MTT where is the money? If you're making $10 a day at microNL how many days have you played? I'm really not trying to be rude but I hope you pulled some winnings out or something

EDIT

well, did you ever asked yourself who it is that plays these tournaments but never makes the money? that is (better: was) me. I was the juice.

I started playing $25nl with a $45 bankroll

Since then I've started using 'proper' bankroll management and I should hopefully be playing $100nl next month with 20 buy ins.
