    Just started to try and build up a lil roll on Full Tilt and have currently about $300 in there. What are some good of the good tourneys/sits to grind to try and build up a nice roll from? Thanks in advance.

    The early doubles are nice 5+1.If you like mtts they have a good pay out.I would grind the lower sngs.Keep up the good work and before you know it your roll will be there.

    There's a good $3 MTT at 8:00p eastern that was my favorite tourney to play in. Generally pretty soft, I won it once and often made it ITM. They changed my work schedule so I don't get home in time anymore, but I would really recommend that one. The $3 KO tourneys are pretty soft too, people play like idiots for that fifty cent bounty.

    The 2 cubed (between 9pm/10pm) and 3 turbo KO (same timerange) are super soft. If you're good at HORSE I would paly some HORSE sng's: 8 players and 3 paid. If you're good at super-turbo's, play the 9 man $3.50 NLHE super turbo sng's.

    Also Daily Dollar if you don't mind playing/staying focused for 5 hours to win 3 bucks....

    This. If you open shove aces/kings early in the tournament, you WILL get called!

    your best bet is to play the $3 90KO SNG's on FTP... Early Double's A&B real good b/c if u make the money in both, you get a bonus (usually 15$ for mincashing both on top of your winnings)......I would have to say that the softest MTT <5$ is the $2rebuy.. (usually gets around 175-250 ppl and first place usually gets between 300-400...

    the $5 45 person SNGs are good too.....usually lasts hour 1/2 - 2hours?? but 1st place is 85$ and the play is generally terrible...if you do prefer SNGS, the 6$ 27 mans are a real good BR builder and they're quick too! these are just some of the options for a 300$ BR;

    however I would play only the 3$ 90man KO's right now until you add some more $$ and/or you are familiar with the structure and the play of them b4 moving up to $6 90KO...so ya, ill say it again, it may be boring to just be grinding them, but i think this is your best bet as of right now to see your bankroll grow...hope this helps

    Edit: Also, the 3$ Superturbos are a good way to help your shove/fold range
    Make sure to save your hand histories so you can go back and review your leaks in your game...DEFINITELY start watching some pokerxfactor videos to help you learn what to do in each stage of the tournament (beginning/middle/end game)

    ill try to find the videos 4 u that are posted free on here when i get out of class

    +1 for 3.30 KOs. Played about 50 of them today, trying to figure out if I can profitably play 16 at a time.

    I think keeping your eye on the different promotions going on is a great way to build your bankroll and work on different parts of your game.

    This month had a pretty good one for micro/low limit players. just have to get 1 ftp point playing 2 cash tables at a time, play 25/30 days and get an extra $50 bones. i was playing mostly HU SNG's but decided to do the promotion. the first week kinda sucked to get back in the cash game groove and it really screwed up my hu sng play, but now i'm up a few hundred and have $50 extra to look forward to at the end of the month

    A lot of people disagree with me because they are turbos, but the $1, $2, $2r, $3 and $5 MTT's that run at 50 minutes past the hour (1:50, 2:50 etc.) are SUPER soft. Ive won a few of them and FT'd a ton. I stick with these whenever I begin to really dig into my BR and the mid stakes games and it usually doesnt take too long to win one.
