Man! You answered my question even I made it. Thanks!
The better advice from you to me is "not to play MTT even it's your better game" because... It actually it's my best play with better profits.
I always end to loose all my bankroll, reading your post, I think it is because I thought that I must find that "lucky bullet" that save my bankroll, and it was always MTT.
I have made from nothing 80$ of bankroll but ALWAYS I ended losing all my bankroll ��
So, I'm going to start in the level
0.02/0.05$ with a 25$ bankroll in fastfoward 6 max tables. It is my better game. Is it correct or I made a mistake? It's better to start in a lower stake like 0,01/0,02$ with a 10$ bankroll?

$25 is not enough for 5nl it isn't even enough for 2nl. You need $40+ for 2nl
EDIT: I see where you got the idea for playing 2nl with $10, and I am sorry to say that is terrible advice... You need 20x the BI for all levels that you play if you wish to play seriously and improve your game. If you are are only playing for fun and don't mind gambling then by all means use the 5x BI which was suggested by lifesagamble99

Wow! Thanks a lot for save me from myself.EvertonGirl said:
Is that the case just for cash games only no? What about SnG?
For example:
-0.5$ buy-in x20 = 10$
-0.40$ BI x20 = 8$
-0.25$ BI x20= 5$
Is this right no? Excuse me if I'm missing something obvious... I'm just beginning, but I'm aiming to be profitable long-term player because I love poker as discipline profits wining... Just that... I'm still needing a lot of experience. So any advice is welcome!
No the 20x is just for cash games, so 2nl is 2x20 = $40. 5nl is 5x20 = $100.
STT (single table) you only need 40x the Buy in so if it's $1x40 = $40.
With $25 I would play the $0.25 45man and use a 100x which = $25.
Hope that helps.

Thank you oz i found this very inciteful and will try to take it to heart. My cash game seems weak but i love playing for straight cash. where as i dont always enjoy a 3 hour tourny grind but i seem to get in the top 50 rather often which still sucks but im just learning.
thank you
very good advice .slow and steady is helping me. but a lot of games i play have a lot of donkeys eating everything up .so it hard too weed them out . but im still grinding see you at the tables and thank you for good info havefunAA.😀

There are weekly tournaments for all members... not sure what you're on about.
I'm a huge fan of this thread. Though I don't think playing MTTs is bad even for beginners, as long as they aren't too large and you're not playing them often.
But the advice to really stick to a game type and master it is probably the greatest advice I've heard.
Obviously Cash games are the best overall, but so much is required to be successful there mentally/skill-wise (BRM, odds calculation, etc.).
Great tips. But what will happen when I get bored playing the same thing again and again? I'll lose money probably. This is leak that cannot be fixed.
P.P. People prefer physical pain over boredom. That was proven and I'm the same. Maybe I'll start punching myself in the face xD

Impressive post
Wow, even considering that it was written ten years ago, I learnt a lot from it, so thank you!
I just couldn't understand very well regarding the bankroll management part. Assuming that I want to start playing let lowest $0.01/$0.02 SnG, how much cash should I ideally have?
I am planning on playing some freerolls until I manage to get to the amount and then switch to SnG.
