    If you only had $7 in your account on pokerstars. What would you play?

    This is my plan:
    Play the 90 player .25 cent sngs(6-9 games at once) until Sunday, then jump on the $2.20 satellites Sunday morning.

    If I can't make any profit playing them .25 cent sngs, I have some serious issues in my game.

    also the .25 45 man tourneys are a great way to build from that, and they finsih a lot quicker than the 90 mans so you can knock out a bunch more of them

    $1 single table sngs. If you're worried about going broke with $7 then just deposit $50 and grind. Dunno how ppl can take the time to play 10 cent mtt lol.

    I'd like to play the $1 sng's, but I'd only have 6 buy ins. I'm not sure that is a good move for me.

    Make a deposit to $50 so you feel more comfortable playing low buy in SnGs.

    $2.20 cubed is BEST tourney on stars as far as micros are concerned in my opinion.. $6.20 investment, and it normally has AT LEAST $1400 up top...i think it starts @ 21:45 est every night.. insta rebuy for 3k in chips, then 6k add on.. this is one of those tourneys where you have like a million big blinds which means u can start playing pots early...typically for me, when it's time to add on, i normally still have 2k below avg stack b/c i've played so many pots...however, tighten up and it's pretty much INSTA cash.. SUPER soft tourney, ft bubbled it twice in like a week.. hopefully bink it in the next week or so... GLGLGL

    $0.10 360s are pretty easy to take down imo.

    Is this a level? If you're willing to put in the time to grind the lowest of the low stakes, just save yourself the hassle and throw like $25 or $50 on. I've turned $5 into 4 figures a few times before but it takes quite a while sometimes and/or is ez to just go broke.

    the. 10 360 mans are far and away your best option. by far. You will have 70 buyins, not a lot but these are really easy games. they have zero rake, people dont take the seriously, they load really fast. Its a no brainer.

    You never clariefied, are u a cash gtame player or a tourny player?

    One thing that i noticed when i was starting out with a roll that size (BRAG: never deposited here Won some cash through FREEROLLing) is that the $1 SNGs have a retarded rack and most anything at that level except maybe the 1.10 mtts r ok but ur paying so much (in relation to ur BR). i remember last year about this time i talked with jennafear about this, and her suggestion, atleast for me (I play on stars) was to grind the .1/.2 cash games. with 7 bux u got 7 short buy ins (50BBs) or 3 normal buy ins. the rake sux belive me u cant beat it but if ur good at poker u will make money, not a millions but u know. u could try the .10 360 turbos but luck is such a huge factor in those tounrys. the ROI is great IF U GET 1st-3rd (in relation to ur investment of .10 u get 8 bux for 1st). I still think .1/.2 cent is the way to go. Hope this helps.
