100$ is equal to 20buy-ins in NL2 so if u have some experience already i suggest you to play NL5 but be very selective about your hands. Don t play garbage hoping it will hit the flop and get rid of easy dominating hands! Don t be upset when they try to steal your BB, in fact let em steal it cuz when u ll dealt with a premium hand it will all come back with bonus
In case u get suck out ( and it will happen!!) just go to NL2 using the same tactics and then, for sure ur bankroll will rise

If you are tired of losing money you should search the web and read books for a winning strategy because no amount of bankroll will stop you from being a losing player.

Good advice from Keef.
Joining a training site could be a very good investment too.
There are some that offer a free 7 day trial. Join one for the 7 days and down load all the vids , unjoin and it won't have cost you a penny.
Do an hours study for every hour you play untill you start winning.
Operate a good and disciplined bank roll management strategy.
Don't play different games at the same time - it will only mess with your head.
IMO SnGs are a good place to start winning there are plenty of week players and are easy to beat.

If you can deposit 100$ i would choose partypoker. Most fishes are still their. NL2 is beatable with 10ptbb/100 nl 5 is easy 8ptbb/100. SnG's till 5.50 no problem. There are too many "regulars" or people who rly want to learn to play poker on ftp and ps, allthough you will find there fish too ofc.
But even on nl 25 and 50 on pp you will win some nice money if youll invest enough time in theorie etc.
Follow a proper bankrollmanagement like 30-40 stacks per limit, even for microstakes

I agree. It requires skill and luck to win. Not the amount.
