Pokerstars Tournaments players?
Just wondering if any of you regularly play tournaments on pokerstars, and if so, at what buyins?

- I play single table sit'n'gos at the $5 or $10 buy in, and I often play the multi table tournaments that are only a couple of bucks to buy into. I'm working on my bankroll management, and consequently I only play the lower limit stuff. But I started off on PS with nothing, won a buck in a freeroll, and have turned it into more than $60. I'm hoping to build a $1000 bankroll from nothing. I play about every other day, and only play the MTT's on the weekends.
- I play the $1.20 9 table sngs and the $5.50 single table sngs. As far as massive tournaments, I stick to the tiny buy ins... $.50 or less, or just the freerolls, cause I'm not great at huge tournaments just yet, but it's always worth a shot and the practice.
- You should buy in at a level that you are comfortable with that won't upset you if you lose the money. Pokerstars has tournaments starting at $1. I think they have multi table tournaments for as low as .10.
- My pattern is like this: If my bankroll is: $1-5: I play the $1, 9 player SNG's until i win. $6-10: I play the $1, 18 or 45 player SNG's. $11-15: I play the $5, 9 player SNG's or the $4 180 player SNG's. $16-25: I play the $10, 9 player SNG's or $3 45 player sng's When my bankroll hits $100, I start off at $1 again. This keeps me ahead at all times, usually, and I'm rarely negative for a long period of time. Regarding larger tournaments, I only play if the buy-in is $3 or less, and it fits in my bankroll as above. I also try to get into freerolls and free plays, so while I often enter $11 tourney's, it only costs me 70 fpp's.
- I'm at fulltiltpoker and cakepoker
- Not including SNGs, Pokerstars has pretty regular tournaments at incremental dollar amounts starting as low as $.10, and going all the way up to at least $200. It's very easy to find tournaments there that a player of any bankroll can be comfortable with.
