Advice on building my roll

[thegman1308]

So I have been trying to build up a roll from $0 on Bovada and have since turned the $2 i won from the only 2 freerolls i entered into ～$30 over the last week or two. My question is what would you guys recommend as my best options to continue building my roll as ive since stopped playing the lowest .5/.1 limit poker.

I am thinking about trying my luck at .02/.05 NL buying in at $2.50. That would allow me 12 buy ins at that stake.(or should i buy in for even less than this？） I have also been playing alot of the $1.10 SnG's and feel I should stick to these while also dabbling in the cash games and daily .5 rebuy $500 guarantee tournament as well as some $1's.

I also have about 180 points so i'll be able to enter a few more freerolls and try and make few bucks there.

edit: cashed out at $200 after building it up from $0 was fun.

Idk why you'd want to play cash games on Bovada to begin with. They have some of the most amazing MTTs and worst ring games.

bovada has zone poker aka poker on crack for ADD kids where every time you fold your shot to a new table and you can fold out of turn and be whisked away however fast you can click which im addicted to. Im up to $40 now just using the buy in with $2.50 leave when at $5 buy back in at $2.50 leave when at $5 mentality. I also play the MTTs as well its just I reached a point where cash games are an option now and i don't have to have a huge fear of variance hitting me and my roll going ka poot.

You don't have enough of a BR to be playing most of the games you want to play. You got lucky turning $2 freeroll winnings into $30, but you will eventually bust if you turn around and use that money on NL games and rebuy tourneys.

To put it into perspective, I currently have $16 from freerolls on Bovada, and I don't think that's enough to play any games offered, because I don't want to bust my BR after I've put in this much effort to build it up. You also shouldn't buy into a cash game short unless that's your specific strategy. If you don't have enough to buy in for the full amount, you should find a different game. Here's the BR requirements I have to play the games you've mentioned.

.05/.1 FLHE - $40
.02/.05 NL - $100
1.10 SNGS/MTTs with no re-buys/re-entries - $22
.5 re-buy MTT - $50

Those are my minimum requirements, which also means that if I drop below those levels at any point, I stop playing those games.

guess ill just stick to limit then, up to $44 playing limit still guess do this until $100?? seems kind of long.

do the $1 SnG's till you hit $100 BR. It might take a while, but it will build up your skill level. Play the $1 5 table SNG too.
