Try the .25 sng's - that is the best way to build up a small bankroll.

Maybe you could also, before using that money, try to play some freerolls, and build a bigger bankroll.

I have still never deposited any money on any room (I have really few time to play unfortunately, since 1 year with my new job, I can only play 1 or 2 freerolls a week :( ), and yet, I have more than 100 bucks won on freerolls.

But if you really want to play CG right now, you should follow Dakota's advices ;)

Slow route. Use proper bankroll management. Don't buy into an MTT for more than 2% of your bankroll. It's a common mistake people make.

if you're a good mtt player, pokerstars 10 cent tournies with 50 added they run every day at 4am 10am and 8pm i think would be an ideal propisition as it fits within bankroll management and generally the first place is 60 bucks or so

There under the multi table tab of SNG's on stars, maybe you need to turn your filter off. Hope this helps.

The $.10 with 360 players are easy enough to build your stack 1st > $8.50 - 36th > $.20.
Like Dakota said the $0.25 with 90 players are easy also 1st > $6.20 - 12th > $.55.

PS takes no take in either one of these.
How can you beat that for starting out.
PS Rocks ............

Good Luck

Yeah, I would go with the .25 cent 90 person sngs. No rake, top 12 get $$, pretty each to cash, just be patient.

It reall depends on what you are comfortable playing...
If you consider yourself a good tourney (SNG; MTT) player, the follow Dakotas advise, otherwise play SSS on the mikrolimit cashtables...

I believe the 90 player is the best way to go. good chance of getting into money while risking comparitively little of your BR.

It was not easy but I finally found the 0,25$ SnG with 90 players on Stars.
I've put a filter witn 0 to 1$ buy-in, checking only Holdem Games.

Then in the "All" tab, it's easy to find them, like the 360 players 0,10$ SnG :)
