Hi forum.
In recent days i've played SSS on 0.05$/0.10$ limits, and i've got down from 47$ to 32$. i can blame like 8$ on mistake i've made, and 7$ just on bad luck, but i've managed to fix some leaks in my SSS play and now i play it very good.
My question is, should i keep playing SSS on these limits, or is my bankroll too small so i need to change into something else (perhaps lower limit BSS, or SNGs, DON etc...) to build my bankroll and then go back to playing SSS?
0.05/0.10 are the lowest limits that you can SSS with on stars btw...

Keep going $32 is still plenty for SSS on NL10. BRM doesn't really apply in your case where you only have 10-15 stacks left before going broke because you cant move down a limit (assuming you stick to NL10 SSS). If you go broke, you go broke, then just redeposit and start again. Whatever you do, don't break BRM by playing a higher limit or changing games to BSS or something.

Make sure you keep studying.


Well actully i've tryed playing BSS yesterday (0.01/0.02) and it was really profitable for me.
Should i keep playing BSS or go back to SSS and hope that my luck returns?


play SSS on NL5

I'd say you consider this variance and stick to NL10.

You said you fixed the leaks so if that is true, bad luck can't be that much of a pain. Stick to the SSS and eventually it should pay off :)


bss is much nicer than sss. go bss at 2nl, especially since it worked for you and because sss will be finally gone soon.


I might just have started the game, but i realized that SSS user on ps can either start moving to other location or uses another new set of strategy like BSS or try altering the SSS to suit the new buy-in.

Anyone have any idea how much the minimum buy-in could be? 40bb?

Wich is enough for FL 0.10/0.20 :)
easy money


Ohh and btw i've eventually switched back to SNG and that seems to be most profitable
for me it's
1. SNG (Very profitable)
2. BSS (Slow but profitable)
3. SSS (never find good tables)
