Building a bankroll info...

[Evian]

Hi everyone,

Just wondering as I'm starting to be a little better and also more involved in my learning of poker...what's the best way to build up a bankroll for poker?

Is this page still current enough to follow? http://www.bonuswhores.com/bonus-whoring-101.php#bet365

Just wondering if anything changed since the whole PartyPoker going seperate from the skins and all that...

I have around $50-100 which I could start with right now...I've been playing on Paradise exclusively micro limits which I can usually beat quite easily ...

There are elements of that page that are still useful. But a word of advice: play the bonuses that are listed as "easy to moderately easy to clear." The more difficult bonuses to clear can take you an awfully long time. For me, life did some damage to my bankroll and I did a little bonuswhoring to help build it back up. But ultimately, once I got my bankroll back up to my proper # of buyins for my level of SnG's, it was much easier to continue growth by playing my game than by bonuswhoring. However, if your game is still developing, bonuswhoring can be a good way to gain table experience, play hands that are worth posting, and build your roll at the same time even if you only play break-even poker.

This is WAY outdated.

Anyone with a small bankroll such as yours would probably do well at some of the Boss Media sites IF they still have the low limit tables. I haven't played there in a while so this too may be outdated. But the Boss Media sites were giving $100 bonus for a $20 deposit. You had to play "contributed" hands but the games were so loose and the limits so low it was hard to lose.

Thank you both for your replies, I didn't know of all the other, less popular sites. I'll start with 'em soon.

Boss media sites 1000 contributed hands takes a hell of a long time to clear. After first 250 you get 25 dollars though but you also have to play at 1/2 which probably wouldnt be recommended for smaller bankrolls.

I think the crypto bonuses are good as you can clear them at lower limits.

Pardon my ignorange here...

Would the difference between a contributed hand and a raked hand be that I don't have to bet any money in a raked hand? It's just if I'm dealt cards I'm part of the hand right?

If so yeah 1000 contributed seems like quite a bit...I'll do some more searching on the forums and come up with something which seems alright I guess...probably a mix of the two.

Ok, this seems to easy...

InterPoker and LittlewoodsPoker both has a Casino side...now if I got that right I could just deposit on the Casino side, clear it playing BJ...withdraw to ECashDirect and redeposit on the poker side to get the other bonus?

The 1/2 part is not true. I finished Imperial poker (listed at bonus whores) last night, played nothing but .25/.50 7 card stud(every hand is contributed with the ante) and .05/.10 No limit holdem.

Homer's guide was the shiznit for it's time, but it's very much ourtdated, and several better bankroll building guides were made since.

This one is, as far as I know, the current gold standard.
