Hypothetical Question

Say for some reason you have exactly 200 left in your account. You have the option to play what ever disapline you want. No Limit Ring, Limit Ring, or SNG's. Ruling out MTTs until a sizable bankroll. You have had decent results in all disaplines but most experience with NLHE SNG's(multi tabling). Casino whoring is out of the question for awhile. Where would you start out and why.

LHE Ring: .25 - .50 or .5 - 1 (2 tables)
NLHE: 10nl full ring (2 tables)
SNG's: 5+.50 (2 tables)

i would go with SNG's if thats where you are most experienced at, that way you could build your bankroll up pretty easily.

With the crazy variance of limit, even at .5/1, I'd rule that out. SNG's would be your best bet since a nice run can easily double up the BR but a bad run wouldn't cripple you either... and with your experience and knowledge, I'd do that. NLHE would be fun, but I'd prefer 6max since good runs can easily help to increase the BR

$10 NL ring. It has no variance.

$10 sng's. $200 is more then enough for that. We all know the skill at $10's is no better then $5's.

I would camp $25NL until my roll is up to $300-$400 or so, then start playing some poker.

Or maybe rebuild on a 'dice 1/2 5 card draw.

Fnord, what do you consider camping out and what do you consider playing poker??? Just curious.

LOL. True.

I'd camp 10NL or 25NL. But if you got no experience doing that then maybe SnGs are the best option.

I would do 10+1 sngs where you can just go practically afk till it gets 5 or 6 handed, or maybe .5/1 limit ring carefully choosing my tables.
