    First I want to say that I am a casual player, I just play for fun and Im not to concerned with all the bankroll management articles, etc.

    I had about 1K on FT after cashing out a couple times and lost all but $90 playing MTT's (probably bigger ones than I should have but oh well). I'm not too worried about it, Im just looking for some opinions on what games to play for the last $90. Play one big ($50-$75) tourny? A few $20 SNG's? A few 24+2 MTT's?

    I know Im probably gonna lose it, just curious what other people would do.

    I'll probably redeposit eventually but not for a few weeks once this is gone.

    3, 26 dollar 45 man sit n gos ..... and one 11 dollar 45 man. win a 26 dollar one and you have nearly half your roll back.
    This is assuming you don't care about going broke what so ever

    Play Sattys and build your roll. They are usually VERY soft.

    Don't redeposit.

    Play $3.30 90 man KOs. Just one win and you nearly double your 90. You can pull it off with 30 BI's since the KOs help pad your roll. If you have any kind of decent push/fold, you can tear those fields apart.

    That's exactly what I did, Once a friend gave me 15 Bucks and I started building up right now im on 265 Dollar and still having a lot of fun.

    But since you're mentioning you play for fun in other words hoping for the big cash instead of building something up just go for the big tourny's than lol.

    If you can redeosit i dont see why are asking this, especially if your willing to play a $50-75 tourn. whatever level your playing at variance is variance and your more than likely to go broke only using it to play 3-4 sng's or mtt's.

    FWIW i agree with using it to play the $3.30 90 man turbos until you can deposit more on top and move back up in stakes.

    yeh agree with matrixs too, if u feel you wont have enough interest playing for lower stakes, these add something with the points table so will add a more competition between you and the other peeps.
