First of all, don't play with such a tiny roll for the following reasons.

1) What happens, Is the when people play "Under pressure" they're not playing "Their best" as they're worried about "Losing this hand, or that hand" and thus "affecting the tiny roll that they have", which than will lead them to "Tilt and/or play higher limits that they normally wouldn't thus (I.E) chasing the losses.

So my best advice would be "Not to play", that's just me.

2) Another reason that I would be suggesting not to play Is, simply because at ACR they hold CC free-rolls 2 times a week, so by posting on here, before you know It, you'll be able to enter these games and grow your roll up quicker after a-couple of wins In the CC MTTs

.

Now I'd like to ask, what type of games are you Into? MTTs/STTs/Cash/Hyper/6max/full ring/Turbos? Exactly what do you like?

My suggestion would be don't use your BR until you reach a min of $75+ depending on exactly what you're Into

I believe that you, need to improve your bankroll, because this too short the variance will catch you playing with so little .. even if it is buy-in of 0.25. Review this, my friend. good luck..

vov4ik · Sep 11, 2017

my advice to you is to play cautiously on small tournaments or on small bets in cash games, but it's better to play tournaments for knocking out KO's are good tournaments to get money right away and raise your bankroll

mr_poker · Sep 11, 2017

I would play MTSnG

bra01 · Sep 11, 2017

I think you should use your $8.50 bankroll to play in small mtt

With a BR of $8.50, I will would play:

.11 $100 GTD MTTs
Cardschat $100 GTD Freeroll

With the .11 MTTs, you have 77 buy-ins, which is enough for decent BRM. At microstakes, I think 50-100 buy-ins is decent. Most of the time, 1st pays between $15-$20+, which is a huge return for a .11 buy-in and will be a huge boost to the BR.

You don't have enough posts for the CC Freeroll but try to get into the club. It's a fun game and it's an easy way to boost your BR if you run well.

Just stick with these games for now and build your BR to $75+ and move onto the Manic Mondays .55 $500 and .55 $1000 GTD MTTs as well as other .55 GTD MTTs that happen throughout the week.

Well stated

It will be better for your bankroll if you still play on freerolls and increase it to at least $ 50. Then you can try your hand at cash or tournaments with buyin.

stefan94 · Sep 11, 2017

Try to play intro the micro buy-in tournaments ... maybe you will have luck and double your bank

Just play micros and not more than 10% of br for one event and everything will be good!gl

What's ACR?

Dzhukelov · Sep 11, 2017

With that bankroll I play only sng 0.25 45 players. Max time 2.30 h... Try. With ABC poker system normally in the top 10.

Aca0012 · Sep 11, 2017

Good luck man!

estefanetti · Sep 12, 2017

i would play all 0.25 45 & 90 players.
good luck

BlackJesus · Sep 12, 2017

0.10 - 0.25 Sit n Gos. Super micro level tournaments, below 0.50 buy-in.

Or simply be a member of CC freeroll club

They will back you up with some $ each month so you can afford a little larger buy- ins !

Lorpugo · Sep 12, 2017

spin and goooo

ovitoo · Sep 12, 2017

Freerolls and sng's are your best bet imo. Like others have said, even if you're buying in for $1 you're probably not gonna play your best game just from the pressure of not wanting to bust. I personally hate brm, but if you have an 8.50 br and no intentions of reloading if you bust then I would definitely stick to fr's and super micros.

meancheetah · Sep 12, 2017

I would play micro stakes tournaments or play 1-up's to get some easy money.

10/10 i agree wholeheartedly

ByronP · Sep 13, 2017

there are a lot of good answers here. Of course you will continue with freerolls and micro tourneys unless you deposit more money, that is all you can do.... Unless you go to the cash table PLO and shove all in. Most of those donks double up......LOL

TheBull953 · Sep 15, 2017

Freerolls and SNGs (sit n go) if you want to play it safe. With $0.11 buy-in you would have nearly 80 buy ins.

Maybe use freerolls earnings to take shots in paid tourneys.

tysfm · Sep 15, 2017

Other than what other posters have said, I would only play freerolls and uae your bankroll for rebuys and addons.
