I run so much better playing sngs than I do in cash games. In just a few days, I made about $100~ playing the 3.40 10man turbos. Now that I finished my high orbit leaderboard score (8th at the moment, would be sick if it held for top 10), I'm going back to the 6.50 9man turbos, which is where I stopped playing a while back. My first quick session of 8sngs, I ran sick good and ended up about $70~.

Reasons I prefer SNGs over cash games:
1. Waaay more fish.
2. The fish can't leave the game.
3. Occasional grinders are also easy targets because they don't know ICM.
4. Suckouts are much less painful than in cash games, since they happen way more often.
5. Epic upswings.

Obviously I'm running really good atm and I'm due for an royally epic downswing because of the nature of sngs, but it feels so good at the moment. I love it when I'm heads up with someone who luckboxed their way in, blinds are 400-800, and they go, "omg stop goin allin u suk at pokerz", and proceed to get blinded out.

yes, and when you get it remember its standard every months occasion

1. Waaay more fish.
2. The fishs can't leave the game.

thats true for 6.5, maybe for 16s too but higher than that i disagree. sngs are so simple game so its really hard to get solid edge when every fish knows to push atc in bubble bvb tt

3. Occasional grinders are also easy targets because they don't know ICM.

I think that nowadays most 27s stars grinders pushbot very close to optimal. And it doesnt give you massive edge to abuse if they fold Q6o in a situation where Q5o is borderline shove ^^

but nevertheless i love sngs too <3

Poker is always easy when things go well and we all love making money. Now when the varicance kicks in you're gonna hate sngs.

Odds are exactly 50%, either happens or it doesnt

You can celebrate but variance will fuck you sooner or later .

I worship variance but she is a bitch.
