Low Bankroll, $16, Suggestions?

[AdrenalPoise]

Ok I started on Pokerstars with $50, i'm only at 120 FPPs (which is taking surprisingly forever). I mainly play SNG's, because honestly I feel scared betting real money, i'm more comfortable with an even playing field. I've won the 3.25 buy-in $42 on MTT 45ppl twice, and other tourneys, but i found myself burnt all the way down. I can win about 1/3 of 1.10 Turbo (10ppl), or Should I go to 5c-10c NL ring games? Or Limit, all though I hate it? And will i still get FPP with such low blinds, if it requires a 40c rake?

I withdrew all my money on Stars but $1.60 when all the USA player bans happened. Started with the .01/.02 limit games building my BR. 57k hands later I've hit $100.00.

Start with .01/.02 limit or nl. Grind out a BR within your limits to get established.

when u have a bankbroll of $16 it isn't very good to play at 5c/10c tables
i prefer to play 2c/4c fixed limit tables with this br.
or?

$16 is not even two buyins so that is a sure way to go broke. Play the lowest ring games at stars.

i would suggest .01/.02 NLHE on Stars. No, you won't get alot of FPP per hour but with only $16 in your account, FPP shouldn't be your first concern. Building your bankroll with at a limit with the lowest risk of ruin should be your goal. Once you get your head above water, then worry about FPP.

I had $5 on my account...3 times...twice I grinded it up to $200 or so playing mainly $3.25 6 mans (those are so easy...even though it is above your roll, those are completely winnable). Surprise, I had a massive tilt fest, and found myself with $4...played a $1 45 man, and won that. Got back playing the $3 6 man's, and boosted myself to get comfortable and now find myself at $530. You say your scared betting real money...that can't happen. Do not think of it as money and your results will improve...the low limit 3 man or micro buyin 45 mans should help if you can't overcome that at ring...

Not quite 3 years ago now I started playing .02/.04 limit hold'em with a $20 deposit on Pacific. In the time since, I've not only built up my bankroll but also made enough money to take a 2 week vacation in Germany, take my parents to a Broadway show, buy a new computer and monitor, put a $5k down payment on an suv, and make my rent/car payments for over a year, among other things. I stopped playing on Pacific long ago, but as far as FPP stuff goes I've scored a magazine subscription, 6 t-shirts, 4 baseball caps, one very nice jacket from Empire, an ipod, a sweet party poker chip set, 6 poker books, and most recently a digital camera, plus a few cash tokens & tournament tokens along the way. Oh, and Empire used to throw in a couple pieces of chewing gum with every shipment, so the gum too.

It takes time, it takes patience, and it takes dedication. But it's very possible. Stick with the nanolimits & grind it out until you've rebuilt.

Read SSHE, play the lowest fixed limit game available, don't even think about bluffing. Then profit.

It will be boring, especially as its not your preferred game to play - but pretty soon you will have a healthier bankroll.

Uh, at 2c/4c limit, $16 = 400 big bets. That's more than an adequate bankroll.
