QUESTION FROM IceMare: in your opinion, what would be the most effiecient and safe way to grind a bigger bankroll if your starting with $1,000 dollars even?
ANSWER FROM Craig Marquis: probably 5.50 sngs til 2k then nl50 6m
ANSWER FROM Craig Marquis: heres a lot of variance in mtts, not the best idea for a small bankroll imo. On the other hand a big score is a great way to multiply your roll in one fell swoop. I don't think mixing in occasional mtts in moderation is a bad idea at all.
