I would have to say the best tip for a player starting off to build a bankroll would be stay away from ring games, they can really hurt your self esteem. Stick to your basic low limit tourneys and sitngoes, that way you minimize your loses and maximize your wins.
Ive found this out the hard way struggling to build a bankroll by playing ring games. I had nights where I could sit at a ring game with 25$ and build it up to 600$ at the same table, but this doesnt last everyone.
It can all be lost in one hand witch is why now I just play sitngoes and tourneys. buying in with an average of 50$ a week by making my deposit and wining tourneys and or sitngoes making around 300 a week. And it is alot more fun losing at a sitngo tbl then it is a ring table. cause at a ring table I find myself to keep rebuying until im empty. Which is not very good.
Try this out and let me know how you do..
Cheers.
