I too am playing the lo level MTTs at the moment and am trying to build a bigger bankroll to play bigger ones. I was going to ask if it was possible to build a bankroll playing MTTs (DYMs are often recomended) but I found your advice to MintSam above very helpful on that subject and have decided of course it is possible.
So my question is this, are the £2.30 BHs a good investment in your opinion or not?
I seem to do ok in these due to high numbers of crazy players etc. I would much rather play just deepstacks, or at least tournies with no bounties (ie 100% prizepool). The problem is that I tend not to be free on the evenings (I usually get in for the 9.15 £2.20 deep stack) so I miss the £3 orfordables etc which look really good. I find myself playing the BHs due to the much higher numbers of players they get and their much more ready availability.
Hi rover my cyber pal,right here is MY problem.I am running pretty good at the mo and recently have final tabled in about 50% of my tournys and cashed well.But my prob is winning these games.I just seem to get real unlucky.I got 8th in £3 doublestack on 9th of this month and on sunday 1 got 4th in the £1200 gtd b/h.I keep gettin my chips in ahead but keep gettin outdrawn.A typical example of this is in the last mentioned tourny i was level stacked with oppo and i shoved on the button for 35k with 88 and the bb called with 77 and hit a 7 on the RIVER aaaggghhhhhh.Please advice me how i can turn the corner and get em.lol dav Posted by dav1964

Hiya guys I've finally made it over here so basically I play £5 DYM's and doing good (tooting my own horn!) but I've decided to give cash a go....I have had a go at nl10 (or do I say nl10p - sorry I'm clueless to all this poker jargon! hehe) I've been doing ok last 2 days....lost a stack this morning cos I was being too aggressive (if there is such a thing lol) and got called a muppet (cry) I'm gonna play cash only for the rest of this month to see how I get on so wish me luck and be prepared for questions! ) Posted by BananaDog

Ty john for the question,
I looked up your last 250 games on poker tracker sharkscope
from these very impressive stats,
I believe you profit best on double your moneys i am aware these can become
quiet monotonous .
your average stake is £5 .
so spice it up with as much £5 and under deepstacks that you can get in .
I do believe your skills from the dym would prove more profitable in deepstacks
then bounty hunters ,
reason been you have learnt the fine art of patience in dym .
P.S. i know you are good i have played you before lol !

Thanks Rover & Oz in advance I have put a couple of hands up in the clinic now but I feel a bit stupid cos to be honest rather than buggin' you lot I really should just go read a book about the basics...but I HATE reading! lol My thing is to open a table and just go on gut instinct but now I think about hands etc. I realise how many questions I have and how much I dont know! lol maybe I should stick to the DYM's lol...we will see by the end of the month!

Thanks very much for the response and kind words Mr Rover they are greatly appreciated. This is a great thread that you've taken the time to help out others on, thanks again. Also, hopefully we'l see more of each other at the tables and il be able to let you know how i get on.
ok..do u wanna laugh? I make money at poker..I luv it..i wish I could play it 24/7 but...... I go on reads and gut instincts - I don't understand odds, I didn't even wanna learn the basics cos I was happy going on my own instincts. Today I will be sitting here with a notepad with odds of gutshots, open ended straight draws and flush draws etc... (bet your laughing at me arn't you) ps, thanks hubby for making me learn the basics finally! hehehe )
i for one think deepstacks are very good to learn your own strategy
wether your bankroll building or just for fun,
1 the statagy for fun u see every flop and every hand out ?
2 the strategy for bankroll building u should have a range of cards u can play for flops like ie k-10 kq 10- j 9 - 10 being able to get off the cards and waiting for next hand as its y its called a deepstacks seeing loads of hands?
your thoughts plz m8ty and i would encourage all new and old bankrollers to play the deepstacks lots of hands lots of fun.

Bananadog do notttttttttt feel stupid!!
Thats why this place has become dead lately, people keep thinking that, its a friendly place really.
Some of the big bad £1/£2 cash players use long words some times, which scare me too!!!
Tell all your friends to come and Post with you, it's less scary then
