what would you do with $7?????

PattyR · Jun 3, 2009

last night i placed fourth in a freeroll and won $7

should i not touch it and try to build upon it? i mean... i just dunno what to do...

should i play like 3 MTT's and see if i get a nice finish....

any advice is tremendously appreciated

try the daily dollar at 815 est - usually a good overlay- but 3 hours to get in the money

ElTrain · Jun 3, 2009

Are you against depositing for some reason? Not really a whole lot you can do with 7 bucks.

goborage · Jun 3, 2009

Play more freerolls. You are only rolled for 10c tournies and for .01/.02 limit games. There's a 9 man sat to the daily dollar for 25c, but it's pretty high in rake.

crap shooooooooot, put it on some $ tourny and hope and pray, seriously i would split it up and play some cash games and tournys with it and grind until u double ur money and keep on grinding.

I would recommend the current MSOP on FT. There are $3.30 buy ins and the qualification rate is usually around 1 in 5. If you qualify you can unreg and your account will be credited with around $16. You can take he money and then try and sat in again. Good way to build up a quick bankroll. Give the MTT's a miss unless losing the cash doesnot matter. Even if you get ITM it is usually not lot. You haveto finish well inside the top 10 to make it worth it.

PattyR · Jun 3, 2009

where do you find these MSOP? is it under sit n go's?

cash out and get some coke or heroin, if not then just play 1c/2c poker and build it up

WVHillbilly · Jun 3, 2009

I'd go all-in!!!

do you recommend classic coke or diet?

AtiFCOD · Jun 3, 2009

Hehe. Just play more freerolls. This money will wait you there after weeks. When you get about 30, you can join SNG matches (of course with low buy-in).

jordanbillie · Jun 3, 2009

Play low limit ring and hope you can get some breathing room.

classic, diet has a bad aftertaste and you wont have to worry about gaining weight if you are doing heroin

I would go for ring games, because there's more volatility in sngs, and you don't want to tilt your whole roll away. But ya, there is not much you can do with $7 bucks. Usually, if you are a decent player, it's like 50/50 that you will either build it up, or lose it all. Hope to build it to $20, stay at small stakes, and you got some hope. If you don't, don't beat yourself up. Happens to me a lot.

$1 SNGs.

This. And please don't throw it into micro ring games. If only I could tell you how much easier and less risk $1.25 Sit and go's are. The 25 cent rake is monstrous, but for the money you can make in these, definitely worthwhile.

You are rolled for the 0.10 ferguson (don't rebuy) - if you like limit try 0.0.1/0.02.

The rake at the 0.25 +0.05 $ (20%) is the same as in the 1+0.25 $ games.

But they are beatable.

Generally 7$ are hard to work with - I'd keep grinding the freerolls (private FR)

lol 7 bucks well i would go on a omaha or holdem table and see what happens lol but if ure trying to make some cash an not re deposit take your chances in sng or play a torney and play good lmao

-Phil Ivey27 · Jun 3, 2009

I recently took a $5 dollar freeroll cash and turned it into $200.

Not by putting it in some tourney either.

I played $1 sng's until i reached about $30 then 2 dollar sng's until about $110 or so then $5 sng's is how I did it.

Don't play micro, and don't just stick it all in some tourney.

bobboss171 · Jun 3, 2009

In my opinion, you should play more tournaments freerolls and play only with 1uss to buy in
or smaller than 1 uss micro tournaments

tgarner · Jun 3, 2009

Yes $1 sit n go's would be the best way to build it up. Don't put it in a ring game because you will end up in a hand all in with all your roll and somebody will suck out on you.

tenbob · Jun 3, 2009

If knitting was your hoppy surely you'd fork out $50 for some wool and needles. Deposit and try to play a more serious game imo.

If $7 is a lot of money to you then by all means, try to get the money over to stars so you can play 25c sit and go's. If I was you though, I'd be taking a shot with the lot.

lektrikguy · Jun 3, 2009

Play some 6 man $1 tourneys or hit micro stakes, build it up slow. I prefer Pepsi to Coke BTW.

^^ THIS ^^ hands down. Weak competition at the dollar level. You can usually place in the money - if you use your head.

Good job on cashing on the FR Patty. If you are going to play the $1 SnG, I would recommend not playing the turbo. Stick to the 6 min. blinds. In a 6 min. blind you can throw away 40 or 50 hands and you won't lose many chips. If you get cold decked in a turbo you are going to be in a world of hurt. And since you have a very limited BR you need to be as conservative as possible with table selection.

what would you do with $7?????
