Bankroll question...

So after not playing online for months, I have decided to use those free 50 sites and start grinding out some cash.

I am a pretty good 3/6 limit player in live games, but i was wondering, with such a small bankroll, which limit game should I be playing, 2/4 or 1/2?

Also how is the competition for such low limits on pp?

you want 300BB in your bankroll before playing a given limit. Now obviously there is no limit at party which would allow you to do that on a 50 dollar roll unless you played the newbie rooms, and most people don't want to play for nickels and dimes.

I would say that you should probably start off at .50/1.00 at the highest. This is only 50BB at that level, and you could easily have a 50BB downswing at a table where you are hands down the best player. It isn't that hard to do.

The competition isn't strong, but the players are so bad they will suck out on you more creating higher variance (even more reason to stay in your bankroll). So your wins will be bigger and your losses more frequent.
