Hi Guys, I have the $20 bonus from BankrollMob but having looked at the site and played around abit I am not sure which games would be the best for good poker,there is max of buyin of $2 for tourneys and the lowest cash tables are 2/4cents-(Euro) I don't want to play the games where someone is allin every other hand but I also don't want to play limpathons either. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Depending on the time you have in order to play with your bankroll, you may need to wait a bit before playing. There is a bit of confusion in iPoker lately, regarding limits and players. They have made that stupid change in euro with the lowest being 0.02/0.04 Euro, which is equivalent to 0.05$. That means you will find either more bingo plays in higher limits since micro stakes cant play anything else, or that you can find a table with a very controlled game and rare raises and stuff. That for the lower limits. I have no idea what happens higher.

Hey u should tell more about u..but u should play the games u are best at. And if u want to make ur bankroll slow dont put all money at the table. Play one cash table with like 10% of ur bankroll.

My advice would be to start playing the lowest SNG available and start building your bankroll form there.
I would not suggest to start with cash games since on that lowest limit you risk to lose them all very fast. You could also try mtt but only if you have experience with them

Hi guys,thanks for your suggestions-I did think about seeing if i can quickly double up but max buy in for tournament is $2 and i want to try and use the bonus productively so if i lose it eventually i would have least learnt something. I looked at the cash tables and there were only a few available with a standard that was very random and probably a lot more gambling than skill. I'm trying to learn to play more aggressively when in position but the problem seems to be that in the lower stakes games the players just don't care about anything accept their own cards,which can be frustrating. I will try a few 1 euro SnG and see if i can build my bankroll up. Thanks guys,

MyBet is a part of the microgaming network and they have a nice fast software. To clear the bonus i would prefer the 0.25+0.05€ hyper turbu hu´s or the six max tables at the same level. 20% rake/fee is a lot, but so you can clear the bonus verry fast against bad players.

I would just play whatever game you are comfortable with. But if you want to play the $20 quickly just go to a cash game and play the whole lot. There are many tables there where you can gamble this quickly and i wish you all the best in whatever you decide to do

Since you play sng's you will need to pay more attention to the players participating and the way they play. Some times too much collusion is happening over there. Dont play over and over at tables with the same players.

Sometimes i do see things that appear to be collusion but hopefully playing at micro stakes there wouldn't be any point,why collude at $1 stakes when you can collude at $5 or $10,but you never know,we could have some micro criminals who are dreaming of joining the low stakes, still building their criminality and yet to join the big time criminal high rollers!! Yesterday I had $18.47. Played Storm-lost 60c I played a 1 euro DoN,a $1.50 knockout(6 seat) a 50c mtt,won the knockout,cashed in the other. Now have $24.76. Lesson learnt.

Because at lowest stakes not many paying attention at things like that. But if you are doing it, at the end it adds up to a very nice sum. Winning twenty games in 1$ limits per day for example it is 20$ in your pocket (minus rake). How many micro limits players make such money per day?

I dont think that in 1d there is lot of that happening what is the point to do that and win 10d extra in a day?

It was happening often when i used to play regularly double ups in iPoker. It wasnt that hard to spot the whole thing, especially when they were doing it out in the open using the poker client's chat (not in english), but with a simple copy and paste into google translate you could see what was going on.
