Building a bankroll online

Recently, I have started playing online poker in hopes that I can make some cash. Previous to me playing online, I used to play with friends and what not. I consider myself a halfway decent player, and in the past 3 or 4 days (since I started playing) I have made the money in about half my games on Fult Tilt, playing mainly 5$ Sit n Goes. I was just wondering if this is a good way to build up your bankroll? Should I just continue small bit by bit? And move up to 10 and 20 dollar buy ins? Please note, I am a poor college student lol, so my bankroll at the moment is very small.

what is your bankroll exactly? most likely you aren't ready for $5 sit and gos

Currently $76

Nope.. this is august.

Good BR management month was last month.

Take your $76 bucks and buy into a 1/2nl game, and shove on your first AXo and profit.

He's only 80% guaranteed to win that though. Too risky for a whole bankroll IMO.

I don't think he's serious... and if he is, God bless him.

lol, Nah I think you should be looking more toward 1 dollar SNG's or 2NL cash games. The reason being variance, as you say, you probably don't want to have to redeposit at all, and that is going to be a tough task playing 5$sng's w/ 76 bucks. I think its anywhere from 50-100 Buy-ins worth you need to have in your account... Check out some BR managment threads, you'll find them very helpfull.

Alright, lol, thanks a lot for the help.

read the sng digest 1st before venturing any higher
at FT,i recommend starting out at 2.25 buy-in,the 1 dollar buy in at FT is useless,the players are the same at 2.25.
have at least 30-50 buy in for SNG.
