Alright so this is going to be my first big deposit on stars. In the past I've only done little deposits here and there of 50 dollars. I am thinking of depositing $500 into my account. Was just wondering what you think the best levels for me to play with that bankroll. My best game I think are No-Limit SnGs and MTTs what level should I be playing at according to my bankroll and which types of games do you find the best success. Also I rarely play cash games but if I decide to which limits are best?

Since you are asking this question, my advice would be to start at the lowest levels in all cases, get a decent sample size to see if you are a winner, and if so, then you can move up.For the dollar level they play at, the softest games at the low levels are Razz and O8. Nobody has a clue how they work.

plo8 and stud8.

i might suggest NL/PL games to be able to push your edges for stax at the lowest levels. NLO8 on stars, NL 2-7 if you know the game, etc.razz is far and away the best out of the limit variations (at low limits) due to: 1) all pots being scooped (hence better than stud8); 2) the frequency of your opponents calling down drawing literally dead against you; and 3) the extra rounds of betting in stud games.sngs are also a great way to start off a br, if you prefer that route. best of luck.

Well I know what limits I want to play at I'm just wondering what everyone else thinks cause most of you have been playing poker alot longer than I have. I only started playing seriously online for about 8-10 months now and all these little deposits have gotten me no where so I want to be significantly bankrolled now. The highest I have played at are $16 dollar 18 man turbos. Only played about 5 of those cashed twice (1st and 2nd). Basically about a month ago was broke cause all these 50 dollar deposits weren't really enough money for the 5 dollar SnGs i was playing. So a friend of mine staked me in a 4.40 I ended up finishing 3rd in it shipped him half and i had 45 in the account long story short ran like god for about a week and a half and got my account up to $1100 then blew it all cause I am a degenerate and decided to play 3/6 no limit HU and one bad beat killed me.

Deposit on UB and play rock, Paper, Scissors.

So what level buy-in for SnGs should i concentrate on with a 500 dollar BR?

$5 dollars, if u can beat sng's consistently you could prolly play $10's too (weekends are good times to press your bankroll a bit) Have a daily stop loss and you should be fine.

This isn't exactly English you are writing, but from what I can tell, you think that you will have better luck with one $500 deposit than with 10 $50. Also, it seems you've had one big win but other than that, you are a losing player.Based on that, it doesn't matter what you play, no bankroll is enough. So if I were you I'd just play the lowest cost SnGs and MTTs I could find, hope for another score, and if you don't get it, at least you got extra entertainment out of your money.
