Default Small Bankroll MTT Suggestions

Just wondering what MTTs in your opinion are the best/easiest to beat? My bankroll can support buyins $15 or less. I realize that there are a ton of tourneys (180s, $11MTTs etc.) just looking for opinions. I currently play a ton of 3+R (sats. to sun. mill) and 45pers. SNG turbos. I am working on a more consistent strategy for building my B/R. Thanks guys.

If you are good at turbos, I definitely would play them as often as possible, million satellites for T$ as well as the 2-5 tabling $6.50s, $16s etc.

The trouble with the 45s is the payout structure. If you win 2 18 mans you make more than winning 1 45 man. Doesn't make much sense to me.

The $5 and $6.50s are pretty good. If you have the time, try the 180 man $4 and $10.

I wouldn't say I'm great at turbos, especially when I multi table. Honestly I need work on multi tabling as well. I'm sure my A.D.D. and need to watch TV or surf 2+2 during poker doesn't help. Any multi tabling advise? Do you (successful) guys just have a photographic memory? Does watching every opponent with 4+ tables open work for you? I think I worry too much....

A lot of people here talk about watching movies, TV, etc. while playing and doing just fine. I can't. I put on some headphones and listen to music while I play. I just find it lets me concentrate on the poker, since I don't focus on the music, it's just kinda background noise. I find I just don't pay attention like I should when I'm half watching a TV program or whatever. I absolutely have to do this when playing nl cash, with tourneys I guess the average decision isn't as complicated so sometimes I can get by with not paying full attention.

Yes. The 45 Turbos play more like STTs near the bubble b/c of the flatter payout structure.

I'm not sure with the current state of online poker how easy it is, but for me bonus/casino whoring was a great jump start to my roll.

The 180 man $4 and $10s are great.
