Obviously you could play .01/.02 cash, but if youre not too much into cash games, like me, you could try out SNG´s . The real question is, if you only play for leisure, or if you really want to grind up a bankroll.

If it is the latter, you need a bit more of $$$, and you have a long way to go.

The big problem is the rake, which is killing you in the end, if it is too much ...
I have played like 200 SNGs at the $1 level, but have payed $40 dollar rake, which is atricious ... And dont even think about starting the $1.10 turbo Double or Nothings, unless you can 6 to 12 table them with really good results, as the rake is about the same as a normal $1+0.20 sit and go.

So, effectively, for SNGs, you want to have between 60 to 65 buyins at youre level, but this if for STTs only. So, just for mathematic (and theoretic) purposes, if you were interested to play $1.20 sngs, you would need $ 72 at least.

(Note: I started with $60 for 50 buyins, that was ok, too, but if you play more volume or turbos, you might want to stick with the figures above)

The best thing you can do, is grind $1.10 45 man sit and goes, they have the best rake to offer, and high reward, but higher variance also, you would need more $$$ than the STTs for that. Talk about $110 and you are okay.

If you dont like that prospect, you should probably play on another site, like Ultimatebet, they have the $1.10 SNGs, so I have heard :-)

Or try Fulltilt, for that matter.

Cheers + GL,

Anything with a buy in which is less than $40. You can't play anything higher than that if your BR is $40.

You shouldn't deposit in the future without having a plan on what to do with your money.

Play $1.10 45mans.
