Google freeroll schedules and you will get a good look at what's out there.

Not sure what you mean by best bankroll?

But I am starting over again and trying to figure out what I need for a bankroll to move up.  I remember from playing low limit games before it took about 1000 big bets on a limit game for me to safely move up.

I'm guessing that the question is asking for the best way to build a bankroll starting from nothing.  

Well, if you're not willing to take any money out of your pocket, your only choice is to start with freerolls.  If you plan / hope to progress beyond that level, then I suggest learning to play a solid tight aggressive style of game.  In order to be able to change gears, which you'll have to do later on as you move up, you'll need to be able to play this style some of the time.  And IMO. it's the best style in terms of making enough money quickly so that you can afford to start playing some small buyins and ring games.

Hey there arjon nice to see you around here.
My modo in poker is that money managment is the key. Never spend so much of your bank it is going to hurt. The averages will come around and you will have years of fun playing poker

I've always built up my bankroll by playing freerolls and cheap buy-ins. If you play well enough, you can do it. Slow and steady.--- It always helps to learn how to play well and just keep at it.

It's certainly possible to win a lot of money via the slow and steady route.  Even if you just by play freerolls, if you can average $3 per day, that's over $1,000 in a year.

That said, I suspect some people fall into a kind of mental trap.  $1,000 a year (or whatever other amount) may seem like decent money to them, but they neglect to consider the amount of time it took them to win it.  

The trap is two-pronged.  Let's say they played 300 hours and made $3.33 per hour.  Someone who has the game to average that much from freerolls would have made more playing buyins.  

On the other hand, I've seen people patting themselves on the back for winning a few hundred or $1000, who probably did so winning $1 an hour or less.  Those people tend to see the total and not their per-hour rate.

Arjonus thats all irrelevant for most players who only play for fun tho.
The hourly rate is only of any use to people who are making a living from it.

i agree,i heard that chris "Jesus" ferguson had gone into
only freerolls starting and made his way into buy ins
making ten grand in one year and i"m going for it
with a little luck who knows maybe it might happen
but argonos is right start small and work your way big
