    hey there. welcome to the forum. your thread is more suited to the "blogs and operations" sub-forum. i'm sure a moderator will move the thread there for you soon enough. as for your challenge, your small bankroll leaves you at a very high risk-of-ruin. i'd advise checking out some strategy threads about "bankroll management" in the beginner's digest if you plan on making a serious long-term habit of grinding the pokers. best of luck!

    edit: as long as this $5 isn't money you strictly need for your daily expenses, i don't see any harm in this little challenge. however, if you plan on taking poker seriously and making some money, you're going to need more of a bankroll to be able to deal with the swings that come with poker (particularly tournaments).

    Just deposit $40-50 and stop wasting your time. But if that's how you want to roll good luck!

    As soon as my BR hit 25$, i will start playing 1$,45 plr SNGs. I will play it Until I have a BR of 100$.Then i will start playing 2.5$,90 plr.When i hit 250$ i will start playing 4.5$,180 plr.For now That is my goal.And i will occasionally try some large field MTTs,specially on holidays.
    All these are Non-turbo.I hate playing Turbo.That sucks.

    Good Luck! Anything is possible.
    Didn't Tom Dwan build his bankroll from a $50 deposit, playing $5 sng's, finally cashing in his final two games after being down $35+ ?

    Ok that made me snort a little as I laughed.

    Blasting $5 at 25c games is fine, I can't imagine why anyone would want to employ strict BRM with a five bucks roll.
