Was wondering if any players knew some tips on how to build/nurse a small roll on Pokerstars. I have a grand total of $0.80 on stars and was wanting to play there some more. Any tips are appreciated. Thanks guys!

You can go through the whole freeroll playing trip to try and build a bankroll but it's prolly gonna take forever and it's not gonna teach you anything except how to shove AA preflop against 7 callers. :jackoff:
I do know of a bankroll builders video series on another site but I don't know if it's cool to post that info here, so I'll wait for a go ahead.

scroll about half way down that page (jul27th ish) and I started a similar challenge for fun. I started with $4.50 though and when you get to the graph you'll see that even then i was down $1 initially. It can be done BUT i normally play 25nl so i have experience, I had a bit of a bankroll cushion, and if i busted it didn't matter,(although ego wise i'd have preferred not to). Set against that i was unknowingly up against a currency conversion effect that was continually plundering my profits revealed at www.crushonlineholdem.com/keith and announced at http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerfo...rs-182801.html and Important info for iPoker players - Internet Poker - Online Poker Forum
the 2+2 thread also brings up the fact that the same effect happens with seamless conversion on stars , but i don't play non $ tables at stars and have no inclination to do so.
if you have experience it can be done , but you have no cushion, experience is unknown and you are on a much smaller staring bankroll than i was . Just deposit and learn how to play fully stacked and fully rolled without having to make compromises and getting yourself into loads of bad habits as a result.
if you're not depositing money on stars, then this is the only thing you can doQuote:

I don't think I actually ran into a deficit apart from my initial $1 buy in to a mtt and a few 2c blinds before I was in profit, certainly I didn't go below $20. But no way is 80c enough to cushion a bad beat or three. Of course, it can be done, but it's gonna be tough. Personally, I'd just take the 80c into a cash room and treat it as 40bb stack, and start grinding, hoping for a double up with my first big hand, praying that no bastard hits a river flush or whatever. Once I'm up to $2, I'd leave and then split it into two tables, looking again for a double up, but this is no way to start your poker grind. Just load up $20 and then you don't have to kick the dog when 22 beats your AA, costing you a mere buck.
Hey guys thanks for the comments...I have alot of experience playing. I normailly play on Full Tilt and I started there from $0 and I withdrew $1500 last year and had $600 more behind and then Rush came along and I chased some losses and POOF! gone. So I am back grinding and I think it made me a stronger player in the long run(the first time). I enjoy a challenge and don't really have any extra doe around for a deposit and I'm married LMAO so the wifey likes the withdrawels alright it's the deposit part she don't. If I have to deposit on stars then I will but was trying to avoid it if possible. Thanks for the comments again. :)

Here's my best finish in the Daily Dollar...

I should have won this cause I was by far the best of the final 3 that night. I chose incorrectly to flip vs the DJ guy. I had pocket 10s 3 handed...he had AK off and hit. Left me SS'd and lost a few hands later. Mistake cost me $900 IMO.
BTW I had to get up for work an hour later but I had a good day. :)
And he returns to back up his csb with photoshopped pics. Tales of Poker is a few forums down. LOL just fuckin with ya dude. Nice wins!
Even though I feel like I do well at times I resolve to try to be the best(that I can be anyway). It's why I choose to start and be active member here. I want to contribute and in turn learn alot myself. Seems like a very knowledgable forum. And that my friend is what I seek.
Grind Grind and build it up.
Start with limit poker at the lowest stakes.
