    Default Help me build BR from 6.60$ :)

    Hello
    I freerolled 6.60 in FTP and I just donk know what games I should play
    The 1.25$ SNG'S full of donks but the problem is the big rake ( 25%)
    Any advices about how I should play with my micro bankroll and build it up?
    Thanks

    There's no great bankroll management strategy for only $6.60. That's not problematic except that you can expect about a 50/50 chance of going busto.

    At FTP, they have super-cheap SnG's, with buy-ins of $.25+.05 and $.75+.15 (I think). If you're better at SnG's than cash, I would play the cheapest SnG's they have. Stick with the "slow" tables. The turbo SnG's can end up being just a lottery.

    So that's 22 buy-ins of $.25 SnG's, which is not optimal but doable, if you can beat them.

    You have to pay rake, regardless of your level or game. These stakes can be crushed. You just have play your A-game pokerz every hand.

    And like I said, even good players would go busto some percentage of the time with only $6 to work with, so don't get too down on yourself if that happens.

    Long term, I would suggest scraping together $50 for an initial deposit on stars (and getting the bonus) and playing with some sound bankroll management principles so you have a better chance of long term success.

    well if you buy in for .40 at 0.01/0.02 and shove like AJ+,88+ you will have like 16 buy-ins to work with

    It's still a lottery with a good chance of going busto either way. I'm meh about suggesting 20bb short-stacking to noobie.

    Thanks you both!
    I think I'll play with 3.30 in the 0.30$ SNG'S and 3.30 SHORT STACKED 2NL
    Thanks again

    I really thinking about put some cash in PokerStars but the problem is that in 2 months I'm going to army so I'll have almost zero time to play poker so I really dont know if its worth to deposit or not, and I wont have the bonus because I deposited once 20$ and go busto

    Well, then play as small stakes as you can and hope for good luck so you can grind for two months without going busto. When you get more time later, then deposit and take advantage of bonuses, like you're saying.

    stick to one game mad. Until you're properly rolled. SNG's and shorting 2nl is suicide because they are both completely different strategies.
    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes
