SnGs |
 |
1 | |
I've been starting to play SnGs lately (I started playing Pstars like two weeks ago) with some success. I initially started with playing the NL2 tables which was quite easy, but took a while to get anywhere. There has already been the incident twice where I went from $25 to like $6 from getting pissed and going all-in at all my tables. But now, for the second time, I'm climbing back with around $18, thanks to SnGs.
But a few questions - because I'm quite confused. SRSLY.
Are SnGs profitable? I'm playing the $1.00 + $0.20 buyins 10 seat. The top prize is basically $4.50 I believe. That means if I get first in one and not finish top three in another two that I'm pretty much barely going over even. Is this the type of SnG most people play? I know it can earn leaderboard points (I love leaderboards kk).
But also, I saw the double or nothings where if you finish in top half you get double of what your buyin was. I figured this was probably not as easy as it sounded since people probably play super-conservative. And I've never played anything besides the 10 seaters. Any SnG players want to share if this is profitable or should I just stick to cash? If it is somewhat profitable what are the specific SnG's I should be playing?
Thanks.

Don't play SnG's until like 5-7$ buy-in games. The rake will kill you in the long run.
Besides, you won't learn post flop poker from playing sng's. I'd suggest playing cash games until you beat NL25 SH or FR to start playing sng's if u really want to be playing them. |

imo 1 $ buy in sngs have too high rake compared to BI - its 20% while its only 10% in the higher limits + <10% from 100$+ iirc |
