I agree with MOST of this except that last part. I think it is possible to build a bankroll through MTT. Good MTT players can place in the money more then 50% of the time. So they are making back their money, and when they, like you said hit it big they build the roll. I have read many blogs about good MTT players that can do this, I'am not one of them Id say I make it ITM about 15% - 20% . Which is by far not enough to build bankroll and will lose me bankroll in the long run.

The only other thing I disagree with is if you only have $50 quit poker, I think starting at micro-limits and working your way up is very rewarding. Think about it say you start with $50 and in a month you move that up to $150 playing say .05/.10, I would be pretty damn proud of myself as a poker play for doing that knowing now I have the bankroll for .25/.50 when just a month ago I was stuck playing micro limits. Now for most of you it would be torture to play those low of limits knowing the average pot is never more then $2 but for a new person or a losing one that would be fine.

Right now I only have $50 online and im playing .05/.10 limit and $1 tornies, right now with all thats going on its all I can afford and im very happy playing those limits. Sure at times its stupid as hell but I also know in the long run the better players will end up with the money. For people with limited bankrolls for whatever reason I think playing lower limits and grinding it out is much better then putting 50% of your bankroll on table and hope not to get sucked out and go broke. Worse thing for any poker player is not having a bankroll to play even if its micro limits its still poker!
