So i have started playing poker " seriously " not so long ago on Titan. As i explained in my blog i prefer to play sng than cash game so i have to play micro-sng because my br is around 45 euros and because i'm a beginner.

I play 6 players 1$+0.20 sng


It seems that variance is really high and thanks to donks i have often bad beats. My ROI is pretty bad ( around 0-1 % ) but i think that i'm among the good players at this sng -level. ( 80% of the guys here have ROi < -5 % ).

But clearly donks and variance arent the real problem here. I have sometimes bad beats but they also give me easy chips way more often.

The real problem is the fucking rake .

20% RAKE !
That is way more frightening than a table full of donks.
I seriously start to wonder how you can get "really profitable " ( dont get me wrong i know that i will never win a lot of money at this sng level lol, i just mean to have an ROI ~ 10% on the long term ).

So my question are:

1- where could i find micro-sng with rake < 10 % ?
Btw i know that some of you will say that i suck and whine and should instead learn more, and you right, i suck but imo the rake is way more a problem than my poker skill atm and anyway i'm learning a lot playing vs rocks/fishes/donks/other beginners like me.



2-How those guys can have this kind of stats ? o_O ( high skill + sick upswings + iron nerves ( to deal vs donks bad beats ) ? )





I wont have my comp until next week so i wont be able to answer but dont worry i will read all when i will be back .

So you want to know how someone grinds 2k at 20% rake micro sng's. Well I've played a few solid MSNG players and they basically go into sitout mode until 100/200 blinds, then start shoving. If they can pick up just 3 blinds doing this they buy their stack back and and can play normally for a few more rounds. You're gonna bust sometimes when AK loses to Q10o, but doing this at 10 tables is pretty easy for them to come out ahead overall. They are never playing against a full ring b/c they dont actively join the game until 6 players are left, so its 6max SNG for them with 3 tier payout, pretty sweet deal.

learn icm, play the 3$ sngs 9players on stars, cash-in and play with a 50bi br-managment, work on tilt :D

3.40s 10max at stars, because as soon as you know how icm roughly works you can 24table em
