    Hey guys. I am a longtime reader of this forum but rarely post. I have been playing online poker on and off on PS and FTP for a few years now with mixed results. Recently I signed up for Cake poker through P5s so I could set up an account with rakeback. I am only going to deposit $50 to start with, as I have built bankrolls from this amount a few times before. I am wondering if you guys have any advice on what the is best way to go about starting with $50 and rakeback. What games should I be playing in order to take full advantage of the rakeback deal? Normally with $50 I would switch between low buyin heads up sitngos, 9 man sitngos, and one or two table tables of cash games. I guess what Im asking is should I focus on one type of game more than the others based on the fact that I now have rakeback? (for example will I earn more rakeback multi-tabling sitngos, or should i play 6 handed cash etc etc) I am not worried about busting my $50 deposit, I simply want to earn the most rakeback possible while playing within this bankroll. Thanks guys.

    Also, if anyone has been in a similiar situation (small bankroll + rakeback on Cake poker), feel free to PM with any tips. Thanks again and GL all

    rather than make the most rakeback as possible, you need to find what earns you the most money as possible. if this means playing 2 tables of cash (and earning some rakeback) vs 8 tables of sngs (and hypothetically earning more rakeback but less profit since youre not as good or whatever) then do the cash

    personally i would say learn how to beat micro sngs and hit those up, playing $1 and $2 sngs if the rake isnt too bad. but keep in mind i dont play cash, and there are plenty of cash players who will say cash is a better route than sngs.

    also, personally id stay away from any large field mtts since the variance will be so great and youre just starting to build your roll
