Default Re: Building a bankroll in mtt tournaments

Three months ago i started playing 2$ 9 player SnGs for bankroll building. I deposited 50$ played like 100 but couldn't get well. I was stuck around 120-100$. I was learning the game. After two months of playing like 300 SnGs i thought SnGs suck because if you know the perfect strategy for them it still takes too much time to build bankroll. at 2$ 9 players your ROI will be at best %17ish. this means you gain ~0.37$ on one SnG. And if you start your career with downswing it'll really hurt you. Then i started to play 5$ 45 players and got nice cash outs and doubled my bankroll to 200$. But still not cashing in like 5-10 tourneys on a row at 5$ when you have like 150$ really hurts. Now i grinded my bankroll to ~300$ and playing MTTs. This is what i wanted at first but variance is deadly. I still couldn't get to final table like for 40 tourneys, got busted 11.-12. lots of times. It hurts so bad. When i'm down to 220$ i'm playing some cash game and 5$-10$ 45s and make my bankroll up to 300$. Still wondering if MTTs aren't my game.

I can say don't try MTTs first or at least get min. 100 buyins, if you're learning the game 150 buyins.
