    Looking to build a roll

    Hi I'm a relatively low stakes player looking to build a roll. Just wondering is there any advice out there in regards the best way to do this. What sites are best ie soft and good value in terms of new player deals etc.
    What type of games should I focus on mtt stt or sng's.
    I don't play cash btw so really focusing in tournaments here.
    I intend to start off with €200 so any advice would greatly help.

    pokerstars.fr 100% first deposit bonus - there are enough low buyin mtts to grow a roll. the real juicy ones are 10e to 30e buyins you could dip into if you grow past 500 but there are enough 3e to 5e mtts. you'll get a lot of 100 -300 player mtts so less variance than the mega stars.com mtts and softer too.

            Sorry to Derail, but can you transfer funds from stars.fr and normal stars?

                Nope. Withdrawals only to your personal bank account by french law. Takes 3 working days.

                      Almost 100% sure you can't transfer from Stars.com to Stars.fr. You wouldn't be thinking of PokerStars to FUllTilt?

                      I've found the withdrawals to be really quick, they say allow 72 hours, but it's usually next working day in my experience.


                      +1 on PokerStars.fr, it's a bit of a pain to set up an account there but it's the best option.

                      As said already, I guess starting at the 2.50 180-mans is the way to go if you want to play on Pokerstars.com

                        On .fr could I play straight away and need verification for withdrawals or do I need to wait for the verification etc to play at all?

                          You can pair you pokerstars.fr account to your Full Tilt account. I've not done it myself, but if you can do that then you could probably go down the instant route of Stars.fr --> FullTilt --> Stars

                            You have to wait a few days until you get the address code which is sent by snail mail. Your account gets locked if you try and play. Dunno why Winamax let you play straight away.

                                  I have tried to in the past but it tells me that i have already paired with my PS account, no option or mention of .fr

                                  Actually come to think about it I did email them about it and there is no way of pairing with .fr if I remember correctly.

                                    You can only pair stars and tilt or .fr and tilt asfaik

                                        Handy way to withdraw from .fr as with them you have to withdraw to your bank account.

                                          Grind the 45 man sng on stars best option with a limited roll and shouldn't be too hard to beat at the low stakes with lots of volume and study.gl

                                            ty for all the advice. I currently play on stars and luckyacepoker but i find building a roll quite hard. ive gone through over $400 plus between both and im just looking for A CLEAN BREAK WHERE I CAN DEPOSIT AND START BUILDING. ID LOVE TO TRY BETFAIR OR MAYBE SOME OTHER SITE NOT ON IPOKER BUT AFFILATED WITH A GAMBLING SITE. ANY ONE HAVE EXPIERENCE OF THESE AND WOULD YPOU RECOMMEND FOR A LOW STAKES GRINDER OF TOURNIES

                                              Grinding and losing are 2 different things.
                                              If your a losing player regardless of how many deposits you make you wll go broke.
                                              I dont know if you are or not.
                                              Betfair is on ipoker maybe some research would help.

                                                Maybe you should give 888 Poker a go. Fairly soft and field sizes are very small compared to Pokerstars

                                                  If you wanna mix up the poker roll with general gambling roll then i presume ipoker remains your best bet. Having a roll segregated off is less temptation i suppose for me. Withdrawal options are efficent on .fr but presumably if the goal is to build a roll your first few binks will have to stay in there allowing you to play a wider schedule and the really juicy games.
