With that bankroll (an when you say its in two sites) you should stick to micro limits. Try a few sng's with low buy ins, and at the same time ring games, trying to double you original buy in. If you manage to double get the money and leave. Go to another table with the same buy in and try to double it again. gl

With $25 you can do $1 SNG but i prefer $0,50 SNG more or even better $0,25. To play MTTs is ubermicro so deffo not $1 games, 1 bad streak and your out, kinda $0,25 games.
Well, playing tight in cash games is usually profitable. Just wait for your hands, and tell the truth. It's boring but it usually works. 25$ BR is very small though, and playing 1c/2c is your only viable option unless you want to gamble it all at once. If it was me I would just gamble it at 5c/10c tables hoping for a double up then I would go back to smaller cash games/BIs and start taking the BR management more seriously. But I don't now how much 25$ US represents in the Phillipines ^^ Doing like Doomdy says is definitly the least risky way, and when it comes to bankroll management risks are usually bad
Also, if you're good heads up, you can try to win some $ in small HU SnGs. The rake is usually smaller, and you have more chances of winning quick money that you can use for SnGs or MTTs and try to win big. Unless you realise you're able to win more than 6/10 HUs, then just stick to that ^^

Usually stick to the $1 SnG's and any tournament that is a$1 with no rebuys. Just think you have to play tight and if you do get into any rebuy tournaments it's usually tougher since there are a lot of players that buy more chips at the start. This means if you go allin and miss your done, but that probably would be the case if you miss on any allins. Play tight and patient.
Remember the SnG's start out with the low blinds (as most games), but I like to wait until the blinds are up to at least 50 / 25 and better yet 100 / 50. Just seems like a lot of the agressive players are trimmed down by that time.
Everything I'm saying has been learned through this site since I've only been playing about 2 years now. Good Luck!

id say the same right about here, cash games, wait for the nuts and shove it down some donks throat, youll usually get someone who will pay it off at that limit and if you notice they are all playing way to tight go find another table
Thanks all... nice advice...it very clear now on my mind what games should i play.... SNG 1USD max or lower is much better...MTT 0.5USD max...TAG all throughout.... Cash Game?maybe I will try min buy in 1 only if i lose no rebuys....or maybe not...big variance in low limit...
