Hello friends! I am thinking about triying the gutshot bonus, but need some information to start, someone with an acoutn there could help me i hope.
$5 is a very little bank, so what can u do whit that? i mean ¿wich is the smalles buy-in and blinds structure for cash tables?
¿is there 0.01/0.02, 34 or 40 BB buy in, 6 player max tables? (that is what i am playing now)
I've seen in this forum there is some micro buy-ins SnG ¿how much are they? ¿are they single table SnGs or there is also MTT SnGs in this level? and most important: ¿how is the blinds structure in those micro SnGs? ¿are they playable?!¿ or they are turbo, hiper turbo crasy play?
thanks any way, i hope someone could help me, i've look for this information in the poker room page but can't find it.
PD: I am from Argentina so my english is not good, hope you forgivme, don't want to trie google translator prefeer to take chances on my owne

Hi, At Gutshot Poker (iPoker Network) you can play SnG´s with a 0,10+0,02-$ (2 cent Fee = 20%) BuyIn. The problem here was the 20% Fee, so it is verry hard to build a little Bankroll. At the Cashgame tables you can start at NL2, but the minimum BuyIn was 1$ (= 50 BB). So you have only 5 Midstacks at the beginning. In additional you can play BankrollBuilder Freerolls with 20, 25, 50 Fpp´s. You can see it in the Lobby -> Scheduled -> Freerolls. GL

Tx man, about those 0.1+0.02 SnG are they 1 table or MTT? and how is the blinds structure, becose even wtih 20% Fee is a good opcion if it has a normal blinds structure, but if they are turbos like 3 minutess blinds increase thath is suicide i thing... otherwise 50BB cash is a good opcion too just have to adjust the range a little. thanks again!
------------ i forgot, the 0.01/0.2 50BB...is there 6max or 9/10 players only?
If you're good heads up, you can try to double up at the begining. Or simply go on a 6 players table 5c/10c no limit and play agressive or very tight. 5$ is hardly a bankroll, so to me you really have to double up atleast once before you can start managing your bankroll. In my opinion, agressivity is the key if you want to make something out of it!
The problem is, if you do that, you might not play very long with it. So if it's the only bonus that your country is eligible to, maybe you shouldn't listen to me

My advice is to play the $1 HU SNGs - only 5c rake and they are very soft.. I was up around $10 on those, however I lost my roll buying into MTTs. But I was crushing those HU $1 SNGs and you just can't go past 5% rake

I recommend to play cash games only if you have a large amount of time and patience. It is really painful to get that bonus. If you arent so good with time, go try for a quick double up or 2, and then play like you usually do

5$ is pretty small to start with, you need a bit of luck to get going. but if you are still serious about the bonus try 0.01/0.02 ring games or 10/20 cent sng though they have 20% rake at those normal sng. gl with whatever you chose to play

Just dont do the same mistake i did with the 5$ starting capital. I played only micro's ring tables and it lasted for like 2 days. You better start with sng's for 10 and 20 cents and if you double then try some rings. gl
