Yeah I guess people see that I play really tight. That's why donks suddenly won't go maniac and just always bet when I check (speaking post-flop), because I don't wanna lose to some donks calling pre-flop with any-2 (not late phase)
Anyway. Since this huge Downswing made my Bankroll go to 0, I will deposit 15 Bucks. Do you have any Idea on how I could grow my Bankroll more or less fast? Because I really don't want to stuck at the 0,50 and 1 sit-n-goes..
Traffic at Full is just enough if you ask me. Depends on the buy ins. 2,25 sit-n-goes for example and 5 are actually really common, whilst 1 dollar somehow is not (don't ask me how)
Also I actually don't like switching since I am a silver edge (becoming gold edge) and like the rewards pretty a lot.

Well the fastest (and only way) to build up your bankroll quick is grinding a lot (or ship a MTT, but if one can't build a bankroll through $1 SNGs then one won't be able to maintain his bankroll at $5s). Don't feel ashamed to grind $0.50 SNGs, better a small progress than a quick downfall. If you want to move up quick then the only way really is to play more tables and grind through it. Don't expect quick results though, on average with 10% ROI (which would already be really good) you'll profit 5 cents per $0.50 SNG player, $0.10 per $1 SNG played... and so on. From $5 onwards it's already super hard to maintain 10% ROI at non turbos, at turbos probably impossible (not sure how it is on fulltilt but almost everyone in sharkscope leaderboards at these games is playing on pokerstars... reason: they can play many tables at every stake and game type there, which is the case on almost no other site).
Would also not get obsessed with the silver or gold edge on fulltilt, silver for example is only 10% rakeback and I think about 5% extra through fulltilt points - 15% rakeback, a bronzestar (no requirements) on pokerstars already gets 16% points and stellars combined.
In my experience on Full Tilt 0,50$ sit-n-goes is full of players who don't care about the money or guys who donk, because they have only 0,50$ left.
But ranging from 1$ to 5$ it's pretty much the same. Same donks, same weird players. The grinders seem to play 10$ (tried to play a couple of games, but it's really hard for me, so I dropped again down to 2,25$ and 5$). Every now and then I see them at 5$, but not realy often. There is max. 1 Grinder at the table.
I think I'm gonna stop playing 2,25$ and 5$ for a while and hope to grow my roll to 30-40$ at least. Hope I will maybe finally face an upswing, this would help me a lot
Oh regarding rewards: It took my quite a bit to build my last Bankroll for months (the one that I lost now..) to get the silver edge and 'the race' to Gold is pretty fun, too. And at this point I don't really wanna stop playing there
