If you are asking a question like this when you have a bankroll of $10 you are in serious trouble.
Your best bet if you are seriously thinking of playing tourneys with a $10 bankroll should be to get into the highest limit game you can, and playing the first hand all-in.
Actually, an even better idea, would be to take the first quarter you find on the street, and put it into a slot machine. You'll have better odds to win then playing tourneys with that roll.

Brian actually gave you some good advice.
You have 3 options...
1 Take the advice and grind out a bankroll.
2 Save some money until you have a decent deposit to take advantage of first deposit bonuses.
3. Do it your way and go broke on the same day.

Good luck. You are going to need it.

I have no idea why you have something against me chip. I have never said anything to offend you that i know of. In every reply to any of my posts you come across as an asshole. I traded TP mu TEC for money on ub and am doing fine there. I have no means of depositing online unless i mail a check or player transfers. I was just looking for advice since i have never started with a roll this small

Re-read my post... Advice was given...
I'm sorry I didn't sugarcoat it for you.

Boo-hoo.

didnt want sugarcoated. But pick up a quarter and stick it in a slot machine? Go all in and let lluck override skill? To be such a good player I dont find that to be positive advice.

Have you ever read Chip's replies to me? he isnt singleing you out man thats how he responds to posts. Im not him so I can't say for sure he dosent like you but he is humerous in all his replies to everyone on here. If you dont believe me go check out all his replies to various posts.

I kinda disagree w/ you here, Brian. I read Chip's original reply, and I thought it was a little rough ... but hey, who am I to criticize someone for being mean?

I think it's funny that you automatically stick up for Chip (not that he needs you on his side). He's given you some nice compliaments during the last few days, so I can understand how you feel like he's your best friend. You've done it to me before.

Don't forget about a month ago, when me, TP, and Chip were all morons, the forum sucked, and all that other shit. But whatever... I'm not trying to start stuff, just pointing out that it's more than interesting considering who's side you're automatically on.

Be objective.

Im not on anyones side..I hate everyone but the truth is most of chipfish's replies are like that. If you remember someone said the same thing about a month ago about chip being mean to them. I was just pointing out facts, not trying to make friends. If I need a friend I will buy a dog not a faceless name on the internet.

Never tried to be friend's with you either just pointing out that you are a good player. As for the moron comment well dont have excuse for that sorry though.

I've seen Chip give very helpful replies. He's a good player, and I give him alot of respect... so his replies aren't always mean, as you suggest.

He's done well in the TPF events, seems to post good results, and I can understand anyone would want and accept his advice. But, in this case, he's being a jerkoff. John's just asking for some help from other players... and being a moderator of this forum, I expect more - but that's just me.

I see your point Aeq, and by no means do I think he dosent give great advice. Has given me terrific advice in the past, I just dont think he was being overly mean. But like you said thats just how I saw it, getting way off track from origional purpose of the post. John is winning a book for sure
