dunno is it just me, or have i seen this thread somewhere before
just tell everyone this: "even your poker face is ugly"...repeat this line right from the 1st hand and you should do really well in the tourney...
one more thing: having a micro bankroll is not that bad as having a micro...so don't be despaired- u will nail it eventually, and besides... there are good plastic surgeons out there

If you are talking about freerolls then you need to know that those games are more similar to bingo than poker unfortunately...
Those that build up a big stack from beginning gamble a lot and go all in to double up, if they lose it doesn't matter, the next freeroll is after just couple of hours.

I you wanna build up your stack/bankroll with freerolls i wish you good luck. As MAcubaas already mentioned this is more a lottery game than real poker. I don't play tournaments anymore and certainly no more freerolls. They take too much time and if you get into the money it's mostly for peanuts.

now when i had a second though at this- freerolls are the best way to build your roll aren't they? even if you are a monkey hitting the fold/raise keys randomly, u still have no chance to drop your roll below $0...the only way is up how many other ways of building your roll can offer this safety?

I once built up a sizeable roll by picking my nose and rolling it over several weeks. The real spurt in growth came, however, when I hit on the novel approach of combining it with belly-button fluff,
