Starting again...

Hello all,
I was wondering what some of the seasoned pro's we have hear at blonde would do if they were starting from a micro roll in todays poker world!
I have asked a few mates and i get mixed responses.
Here is the senario -
You have $200 and can play online or live, cash, MTTs or SnG's what would you do.
One of the first people I asked was TheClaimer, he said he would buy into Ten $20 MTT's and take one down lol.
I'm pretty much in this situation after another long tilting/losing month and would love to know what the big guns and semi - pro's would do!

i aint a pro or a big gun
if your playing poker for a living
do as the claimer says if you go bust then get a job
if you are using poker as a bit of fun and a 2nd income
then go down to mirco limits and build up slowly

the small fry (me) have run dry to the tune of being left with $11 in my Stars account and rather than redeposit, I'm going to build it up from there playing the micro limit cash games. Started last night and pretty much doubled my bankroll in one sitting playing NL2.
I'd play cash if I had $200. Start low down and grind it out, depends on where you want to get to I guess.

I'm not looking for advice just wanted to know what 'You' would do. The only limiting factor is you cant deposit more.

20 $10 stts, 30% roi, takes me to $260.
then
10 $20 stts, 20% roi, takes me to $60+$240 = $300
and so on
deffo online not live due to exes
and SNGs not MTTs

Fair enough, i'm rubbish at cash but loads of people seem to climb the ladder from the micro levels so cant be that bad a place to start!

It's what I've done. In fact, it's what I'm still doing. I have been able to build up a decent sized bankroll to allow me to play the odd live tournament, buy a few nice things, pay off a few bills. Not sure what I'd do if I didn't have a job to pay the mortgage though. $200 wouldn't be enough to to earn enough to live if you're going to grind away at the low-level cash games.
It'd have to be the risky MTT approach - win or bust.

I have a job and doubt anybody could make some a living from $200 unless they lived at home!!

I would decide what my medium term objectives were from that $200.
i.e. do I just want to stay in the game? - if yes ultra low risk, probably $2 - $5 SNG's.
or
do I want to try and build a meaningful roll, at a reasonable rate? - if yes then probably start at $25NL cash, but buy in short.
or
do I want to 'go for it' but risk insta-busto? If yes then take Claimers route, or take a shot at a bigger cash game.

Live is way too expensive and inefficient - 6x $5 SNGs until reaching $400-$500 then $10 and so on. Formulaic, boring, but the most stable way to make money if you follow the System. Dana did it! She went from $100 to $1000 in only 7 months...
