Online play is a much easier and less stressful way to build a bankroll if you are starting with almost nothing. Expenses aren't an issue. There is good advice on the Blackjackforumonline.com which AM recommended. Norm has a very good intro on his QFIT site. Bonus hustling is a grind and you will be spending as much time record keeping and researching as playing blackjack but there is money to be made and It beats flipping burgers.
