Cashed out and left myself $1k

[Nato76]

Cashed out to pay off some credit card debt and left myself 1k. I mainly play on Poker Stars and have had some success in MTTs. I've been playing cash games for the last 2 months with very little success so I want to go back to playing MTTs.

What tournaments should I be playing daily with a 1k bankroll? Which have the best value? I also have about 15k FPP points to use. Guys with a similar bankroll let me know what you play.

I have a 1.5K bankroll. Here's my current system:

No more than $60 per day on tournaments (notice that is NOT a $60 bankroll...if I make money in tournaments on a day I don't get to play more), no buy-ins greater than $20, and no more than one $20 buy-in per day. Every day I play in the 19:45 $10 tourney and $3r tourney. In addition to that I usually play two $5 tourneys and then about 4-6 $4/180 tourneys (depending on how much I spent on the $3r tourney). I'm looking to get my bearings, and if I get up to maybe $3K or $4K I'll move up a little. In addition, the $60 can be spent for double shootouts. If I win the entry, then depending on my mood, I play it. I've qualified three times, and played once.

Hopefully this is enough to get you started. If you jump right into the 20/180's (which I did at first) and you lose 4-5 in a row, it kills your bankroll, and you'll have to drop down.

Edit: [censored] what I said, just win the $10+rebuys twice in two days like shaun and get up to $25K. You should be ok then...

4/180s and 20/180s if you get under 600 or so don't play the 20s. Also the 3R and 5R but play tight during rebuy period. Also all the 2,3,10$ MTTs you can get into. GL get a big score early to move up.

Should you really be playing 20/180s and 5R with a $1k bankroll?

The 20/180s have such a small field that you can get away with 50 buy ins IMO. I don't know about the 5r though, i prefer to be able to use at least 50 bucks and that's too much on a 1k bankroll.

Is a $350 bankroll good enough for the 4/180s?

Yes, these tourneys are very soft and 80 entries should be plenty to rule out variance with a small field like that.

No no no no no.

I think you need like $3k to play the $5 rebuy consistently.
