Is it possible to build a bankroll from nothing playing sit and go tournaments?

If it is and someone had done it, please tell me how?

I usually play (free games) at Full Tilt Poker, but would was wondering if anyone has used another site that makes it easier to start from nothing.

I myself have built a bankroll from playing freerolls before (on FTP actually). I won like $15 in a freeroll and played way outside my bankroll (not recommended). I played a few $5 SNG's and then moved up to $10 sit and go`s building my bankroll to like $250. Back then, I had no discipline and played the .5/1 NL games and donked it all away.

You could try building your bankroll this way, but it is near impossible to do on FTP. I think the lowest limit they have is like .10/.25 limit or something like that. This will be way outside your BR and you most likely will lose it all. Pokerstars is the best way to build a micro BR because they have .02/.04 limit and you only need about $12 to play these games. So if somehow you can win a freeroll on PSTARS great, but I think you would be better off depositing a small amount of money into PSTARS.

Shop around for freerolls. As an American, your choices are limited but you should be chasing freerolls across several sites. Just don't forget to sign up with an affiliate for rakeback.

I'm completely out of touch with the freeroll scene and it may take doing some of your own research as people often don't want to share juicy ones. Stars is terrible for freerolls unless you're a VIP. Usually you want smaller sites that are more aggressive in their marketing to n00bs.

Some affiliates used to offer small, no deposit bankrolls. However, I'm not sure if anyone is doing that anymore and the big downside is that you're usually giving up all future rakeback so you don't want to do that on a major site you're going to want to play a lot at later.

Keep in mind though that doing it this way is far from the most efficient. You can spend a lot of time just trying to get a viable bankroll together when you could just deposit $50 and start grinding $2NL right away.

I started on Stars with PPA freeroll, won a few bucks, then busted. Stars then threw $5 my way for never having made a deposit. Worked through $1.20 Sngs and 2,3,5 table SNGs. Switched to 2NL and worked up to 10NL looking to move up to 25NL in the next couple weeks.

Bodog runs a lot of free poker and unlike the stars freerolls they draw fewer people and have only one stage to cash. Look at the private freerolls on stars, many should be easy to qualify.
