I personally started with $50 playing .25/.50 (maybe .5/1) limit around 7 years ago. I almost certainly ran hot but always kept at least 100 big bets. I also did what the online kids call a "challenge" before anyone knew what a challenge was. I grinded from the $11 up to the $215 sngs, always keeping at least 100 buyins online. I personally think if you know nothing about poker, you need to pick one fairly simple form of poker and stick to just that until you have a bankroll to try other things. I suggest either limit holdem, 9 person sit n gos, or heads up sit n gos.
If I magically had $100 to my name again, I would play small stake 9 person sit n gos all day and run it up, hopefully fairly quickly.
