Hey guys!
As you may have read, I'm back to playing poker, although I'm not playing a much, I get a few games in here and there. This evening, I'm playing a few SnG's, as many as I can fit in until I go to bed.
I'm playing 1-2 tables at a time, the buy-in is the lowest possible, $0.10. It's 6max tables so 2 places are payed. 2nd is $0.21 and 1st is $0.33.
I will update in this thread from time to time during the evening. Wish me luck!

I'll be taking a break now. Here's my current stats:
Games played: 7 1st places: 1 2nd places: 3
Won/Lost: +$0.26
A decent start I would say but I just can't figure out the heads-up part of the game, I really need to work on that! Still, 2,5 BI's profit isn't to bad considering I haven't been playing that much lately.
I might play some more tonight. If I do, I'll update the thread again.

Seems like I'm getting back into playing poker more often again. If I don't get called into work, I'll be playing a few games tonight! Hope they work out as good as yesterday.

Cheers mate playing SNG is the best way to build a bankroll if you have the right basics and you can build it up very quickly, also SNGs at the lower level can get you more ROI then at the higher stakes so worth it at the lower stakes! Anyway good luck at the tables and hope the poker god is with you and help you make some good money and so on. Also have fun this is the most important part and play lot of them so it is worth it at the lower leve!

I'm beginning todays session now. I'll be playing the same games as the last time: $0.10 6max SnG's, 8 minute blinds and I'll be playing 1-2 tables at a time.
Starting bankroll: $5.26
------------ Played a few games before I went on a break. I have to say that I'm not really putting in any big volume but I do feel that I'm getting more and more comfy at the tables.
Games played: 5 1st places: 2 2nd places: 1
Won/Lost: +$0.37
I'm gonna play a few more games now before going to bed. I will update and give a grand total when I'm done.
------------ Well, it's been quite a good day today. Here's todays stats followed by the week total.

To play only two tables was perhaps the better way to to the right moves at the table. But i can´t find the motivation to play the lowest Levels without the speed/fast tgame tables. But to build a bankroll step by step it was the right way in my opinion. Gool luck!

Thanks everyone!
I played a little bit of cash and made a small profit of $0.55. I wasn't gonna play any cash but I had 10 minutes to kill so I thought what the heck
Anyways, my current bankroll is at $6.78 and I hope to build it up to $10 before moving on to the $0.20 level. It probably won't take to long seeing as my average win per game for the moment is at $0.06, that's really good I think!

So, I'll be playing a few games tonight. Let's hope they work in my favor!
------------ Decent played so far. 3 games, won one, second in one. Accidently registered for one DoN, cashed in that one. $0.32 profit so far, will take a break now, probably play more later on.
------------ Well, I didn't play any more games today but a profit of $0.32 is a decent one I think. My total bankroll has gone from $5.00 to $7.10 within 4 very short sessions. That's a decent winrate I think.
I know that I should be a profitable player on this level for sure since I'm a profitable player on higher stakes ($1-2) but since I had to withdraw my money, I have to start somewhere and work my way back up!
I'm thinking of starting all over for 2015 starting with a $5 bankroll and see where that takes me by the end of the year. Who knows, maybe I could even get to a higher level then what I'm used to? Well, this is just a thought since I'm thinking of using whatever winnings I get, no matter how small, for christmas presents. Seeing as my economy is on an all time low at the moment, every cent is worth a lot!

5$ bankroll isnt much to begin with. make it 20 to have more flexibility in your game Not that you cant be successful with 5 but you will need more luck with it. You just answered bemy's question with a smile You are using add blocker?

$5 is enough if I start off at the $0.10 level. That gives me 50 BI's to work with, should be enough if I stick to bankroll management.
Todays total is a disapointing +$0.19 was 0.46 at one point but 5 bad beats in a row got me into the reds, managed to save it tho so shouldn't complain
------------ Playing another session now. So far so good, 2/3 cashes at the moment.

good strategy to follow if you don't mind being punished by the rng for being a nit! sounds good in theory, but too often you'll play this patient game only to get busted with a hand that should have won a huge pot for you, but instead some player who has been active throughout the whole game sucks out on you and all that patience goes right out the proverbial window and you're left with your jaw hitting the floor! you're better off being active, at least you'll have a fighting chance.
