    Default Operation - MTT's are a habit (shippin through variance)

    So I have finally decided to make myself use good br management and figured this was the best way to keep my self going.

    My starting BR is 301.72 and I am going to be playing MTT's I deposited 250 on FTP and will be grinding the micro mtts there specifically the 2.20 180 mans and the 3.30 90 man ko's to start off until I clear my bonus.

    BR Rules

    Must play in freezeout mtts where I have at least 100 buy ins. ( I will wave this rule to start off playing 3.30 mans in beggining)
    In order to play rebuys i must have 300 buy ins for that level.
    Satellite rules will be written as they become neccessary.

    Going to run a session now GL to me.

    Those $3KO-90plyr Turbo SNG's on FT are just loaded with aggro-spew-tards. Your big hands'll get paid off but I think you'll also find yourself taking a ton of badbeats. Personally I don't think they're greatest game selection for building a roll (just my opinion).

    It's difficult to find decent enough play in the micro buyin MTT's on Fulltilt. Maybe the $1 rebuys would be better.... at least giving one the oppurtunity to play some deepstack poker after the break. I believe the DailyDollar starts out w 3,000 chips.

    When I started out on Fulltilt, I had an initial starting bankroll around the same as your's (actually was $175 but then very first night I played the Ferguson and took 2nd for $114... yah.. I was hooked).
    I tired playing the micro MTT's but found the play in them to be just horrendous. I was also playing SNG's but was jumping around to diff. ones until I discovered for myself, I was better off sticking to single table SNG, reg. or Turbo.
    If I were you, I'd consider trying to satellite into the MidnightMadness MTT (although the play in it is real bad too... but there's also a mix of some good med.stakes MTT players in there too (ie. guys who play $26 to $75 buyins). THere's a $3 STT Sat. SNG that pays $11 to 1st & 2nd (buyin to the Mid.Mad.) and 3rd pays $5. These sat. SNG's have a collection of Fulltilt's worst SNG players around, lol... << but true. (I once cashed in 8 of them in a row). A $10mtt is a bit steep for your bankroll but if you satellite into it on the cheap.. why not? I used to set myself a rule.... play one of them and if I won, 'unreg.' and take the T$'s and then if I could win the 2nd one I'd play the Tourney.

    Another potential bankroll builder you might want to consider is the $6 satellite mtt to the DoubleDeuce ($22). Paying a little better than 1 in 4 and with a field of players who it seems about half are in the know in regards to playing satellite mtts... the other half playing them like they need to take 1st place (ie. too many hands, not preserving their stack in late stages, calling allins when it really isn't necessary or profiatable to do so considering flat payout structure (they don't understand that 1st & say 7th pay the same, lol) OR letting their stack blind down (you simply Must pick spots to shove your chips in when the blinds get high in an effort to stay alive... picking the right blinds to shove into is key... anyways, not going to go into detail about Satellite strategy... there is lots of stuff out there if one goes looking for it).
    Not sure what your experience is with playing turbo satellite mtt's but if you read up a bit on them you might find these to be quite profitable (<< I'd play these 100x over a 90plyr.$3KO.. I foudn that any of the turbo SNG's that are "KO" seem to attract a ton of tards <<< yes this is good... to a point, but when your table is FULL of them it can lead to 'not so good'). Who knows,.. if you take down a few of the DD$22 Satellites, maybe you could treat yourself to playing in the $22 DoubleDeuce on the weekend too??

    GL with griding out the bankroll.

    Thanks for the insight...I quickly found out exactly what you have suggested is true and the 90 man kos were very aggrivating. I think I am going to grind out the satellites that you mentioned while also playing stt sng's until i have a roll of about 800 to 900. Will continue to post in here with progress. About to put a session in now.
