It's a good way to start a bankroll from nothing, When I went broke a few months ago, I hustled the 1k they gave me into 15k, then I went to the 100/200 level and turned that into 80k, left and brought up 4 tables at 20k each, hustled those turning 80k into 220k then went up to the 1k/2k level and sat with 110k, being able to reload one time... Which I usually don't because the play is a little better at higher stakes... To get the buy in.. I usually stay longer to atleast make sure I got my buy in for the night, with something else leftover for the next day. Usually get up at 680k...
The tournament is at 8:40pm est I think, but usually has less than 50 players and pays the top 18 atleast $2. With the $2 I won, I went to the nickle dime tables and waited to sit in and raised the blinds in position with a full $2 bet... normally you can scrape up .50 cents in blinds because people fold thinking your a donk... (Or you get called and lose it lol) But it's pretty risk free if you study the table.. and know who's blinds to steal (Better if they are both low stacked also) Then... When you have $2.50.. you have yourself (2) $1 SNG's and fate is in your hands at that point. I found trying to sit with the minimum $2 normally just gets eaten up by big stacks, before you can do anything... Why I suggested get in the table, and get out before you lose it all over a shorter yet longer period of time. I stay pressuring the $2 buy inners at that chipstack level... it's mean but fun =)
Thats how I did it anyways... Pretty easy to get $ on FTP
