Default Re: What to do with $110 in FTP

A good guide is to only invest 5% of your bank roll at any one time. If you are a winning player, you'll go up levels as a natural course. If you're a losing player, you'll last longer.
To take an extreme example, if you invest 100% of your bankroll every time you sit down, eventually you'll go broke (as a result of short term variance) even if you are far better than the level you are playing at.
Patience is one of a winning players most important weapons. Build your roll slowly and surely.

That's why I think it seems more reasonable to play 20 $5.50 Sng's than 10NL with 11 buyins. The quality of play in both is still equally bad, what do you think?

You have the 20 buyins at 5nl so you try both that and $5 SNGs and see what game works better for you. If it starts badly and you start losing, you still have wriggle room to drop down to $2 SNGs and 0.02 cash and still satisfy the 5% rule. If you start well and win, you'll soon have the bank roll to play higher levels. You'll eventually find a level where you are a winning player. Then you can move up levels as you gain experience and skill.
