If you’re a new or low limit poker player you need to move to higher stakes poker as soon as possible. The rake at the lower levels is too much of a burden on your bankroll. In order to build your bankroll, you need to find a low variance, low rake game with bad players. For your money, I believe the best bang for your buck is playing the Turbo Double or Nothing Sit & Go tournaments.
To show you how easy it is, I’m starting a new challenge, and I encourage you to join me. I’m going to start with $50 on PokerStars and multitable the $5.20 tournaments. My goal is to play 500 tournaments a week. This will be a little more difficult since I can’t play my preferred 20 tables at a time (at least not until I hit $100), but I don’t think that will be a problem. I’m not setting an end goal. My goal is for you to see how easily you can build your bankroll with these games.
If you decide to join me in this challenge, please comment on your progress. Good luck!
