I have a $48 roll on Full Tilt and $69 on Inter Poker. Today I started 'grinding it out' at....erm...FL $0.25/$0.50. I was playing much higher, but decided i HAD to build up my bankroll bit by bit.Any thoughts or tips ?Also today, i played a $5 on inter, with 200 people, went out in 20th and won $4 profit. This is pretty frustrating, so anyone got any tips, and is grinding and building your roll the best thing to do ?

Put it all on one site and play .05/.1 and under.

if you cannot afford to reload, you will have to grind it out at those limits. Even then, you only have about 100 BB, so you still have a chance of going broke if you get a bad run of cards. Honestly, you would be very safe with 0.05/0.1 limit but that would be super boring but your risk of ruin is nearly zero. 500 big bets almost assures that you will not go broke if you play properly. If you don't care and can reload, just reload now instead of risking going broke and then reloading later. put whatever you can afford into one poker account and play from there.

Bonus whore a couple of sites. Get togather 150 dollars, open an account on PP, make sure you get the "bonus," grind $5 SNG until you have 30 buyins for the $10 SNG. Playing SNG is the best way to build a roll if you are limited on funds.

play over your bankroll, way over. it's not worth grinding for that small of an amount of money.
Exactly, you dont need no stinkin bankroll for those levels. Unless your a total donk it would take you weeks to lose a couple hundred. Just go the nearest atm and reload. If you cant handle a few hundred loss you in the wrong line of work. Peace on earth and love to all. cept scientologists.

Grinding out is just that, a grind. A good player will always have a big win every now and then, but they know how to limit the big losses. the losers are the ones that chase their money, and they end up more in the hole.I would suggest to play at the level you are comfortable with and makes you play correctly. Playing micro-limits is a good place to learn the basics and the flow of the game, but if it doesn't get you just a bit nervous, then you don't care about your money, and you don't play correctly. (IMO)

Seriously, put a total of $100 on Worldpx.com(WSEX Poker) and play 0.50/1 if you can play holdem well.They pay 100% rakeback weekly(no affiliate or special code needed). It's going to be ideal for your bankroll building.

Disagree with this one. Play a couple sit and gos and get drawn out on you re out 40% of his brTry the .10 .10 PL on FCP. You can win big pots when you get paid off with the nuts, and control the pot size a little bit. Play really tight, and you will make money. When you have 25 or so buy ins move up. Then take a shot at a MTT here and there. Again nut peddle and you will cash soon.Good luck

I agree with this statement, but I grinded my way out of micro-limits bc I wasnt old enough to put money in my own account, and my parents never would do that for me. If you're in the right mindset playing micro-limits can be a way to grind your BR into something respectable.

Used to play regularly until about 13 years ago. It's a fantastic game.

My congrats to you!! You are one of the few I know of who have done this, and it has paid off for you. I just never got nervous at the micro-limits, and I would find that I didn't care about the money in play and just play lousy...
