My 2 cents. Re-started playing on pokerstars after a few years with a $0 bankroll focusing only on the freerolls.
I'm mostly active on partypoker so I haven't focused on a lot on the pokerstar freerolls but their give aways in the league ladder system seems to be an interesting way of going up for someone who doesn't want to make another deposit.
I'd love to see how other folks might want to approach this.
- Made $.06 from final tabling an Elementary league MTT.
- Just yesterday won $.22 from getting ITM in a jackpot freerolls MTT.

I have like $100 right now, would it be like 1 table? and when do I leave the table? once I double (if I don't go bust first lol)
Edson said:
hahaha I'll remember your name to avoid the table 😛
you must have 20x the value of the tournament that you play to be calm and able to move in the game I usually play the tournament in which I have in the minino 5x you see the value of it so that your box never runs out of money

Do you end up rebuying a lot of the times?

I may have to try this and see how it goes

That's a no brainer, but I am still posts behind to be able to apply for the daily freerolls, not trying to spam my way to them, so I'll apply around the 80 post mark and see if that's enough
Bankroll flashing from $20-$60 - 90-man SnG (25c). Fairly deep payout structure, slow pace (15 min levels), soft fields. (= ridiculously low variance and rock solid ROI)
BR $60-$100
Spend 66% of the time playing 25c 90-man
The remaining time, spend playing $1 180-man SnG and 55c The Bigs.
BR $100-180
Your bread and butter is $1 180-man SnG, and cash games NLHE2, 55c the Bigs, giving shots to $ 1.1 the Bigs and 55c the Hots on weekends (specially sundays). Once you hit 160 mark, you can add $1 or less turbos and 50c or less hyper turbos, and from there, you have experience with MTTs, Cash Games, SnGs... you should start building your own br strategy with the game type you play more comfortably.
I don't advocate cash games on lower levels. The field is not that beatable by +15 bb/100 anymore and rake is outrageously high.
If you have less than 20 dollars, save that money, keep playing freerolls. If you want to be aggressive with that sort of BR and make shots with that, do the Big 55c or $1.1 dollars on sundays. Those are the only ones that are worth the risk of losing your br because once you make the final table, you become instantly bankrolled for way way way higher tiers than that.
I'd also consider changing platform. I love the Party Poker's satellite structure and the lower levels MTTs field (my game choice) are ridiculously soft. I spent 5 months playing 0.22, 0.55 and 1.10 6-max MTTs (200bb initial stack, 8min per blind level), with over 2k tournaments tracked with over 50% ROI (would be even higher if pokertracker tracked final table deals on party poker) on every level. Soft as ****. Softer than 35c 90-man snG.
For Brazilian Players, theres daily giveaway worth 1c that award the places 10-4 with a $ 5.5 MTT ticket, places 2 and 3 with a $22 MTT ticket and first place with a $109 mtt ticket. You can make shots at the highest stakes tournaments with very little money spent. Unfortunately I've sucked hard on anything from 5.5 dollars and beyond, but i dont have time anymore to go to the lab, study my stats and figure whats happening. Maybe im just outclassed, maybe the field is just tougher and i need to adjust my strategy from there, maybe its just variance (much lower volume, I probably break even the 5.5s with FT result)

To begin with, I advise playing SNG tournaments with buy-in 0.50$, where participate 45 people. In the future, as you gain experience, decide what is best for you. As an option, I also advise you to try playing cash games 0.01/0.02 $.
If you don´t have any experiencie and no have any bank for sure play freerolls. With a bank like 100 and some experiencie the best MTT is $1.10 any of the Big, Hot or Bounty Buildiers. If don´t have much time to play then play SNG same $1 of 45 or 90 players.

Yes I think that too, I still have to make more interactions in the forums before submitting entry to the daily freeroll but we'll get there =]

I guess I will have to start grinding the SNG's and then start adding the hots/bounty's
Thanks

Just thinking all I have read and the feedback from all of you looks like it will be freerolls/25 C SNG
Hopefully I'll get better 🙂
