Basically I wanted to try and see if I could possibly build a bankroll from .10 cents. So on about the 5th attempt I won a 360 man sit and go. Choice.
I then grinded it up to about 25 dollars which is about where I am sitting now... Anyone got any tips on how to force myself to stick to bankroll management? I made a mistake today of playing a 6 person $3.25 sng, and this hand happened...

I doubt you're gonna get many serious replies but with a $25 BR i would be playing $1.10 Double or Nothing SNGs for the time being.

Some guy named Negreanu is doing something similar..

The guy used to play high stakes and apparently went broke.

Yes.

People trade play money for real money. Google play money transfers and you could find a site or two to sell that to. Grind play money until you have like 25 dollars worth or whatever then grind double or nothing sit n gos.


That is how I would do it. My advice is just deposit 50 dollars because the juice is not worth the squeeze.

low limit HU SNGs are really soft

A couple years ago, I used some rakeback ($25 or so) that showed up on a site and ran it to $1500 in a couple months playing JUST HU SNGs

$1.10 45 mans/$1.10 DoNs are probably your best bet. The 45 mans are pretty damn easy.

Was going alright. Still hovering around the same BR. But this just shits me...
