Socko669 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Greetings. I currently play a lot of sit and go tourneys on Poker Stars to great results. I play anywhere from 5 to 50 dollar buy ins, in any of these games:NL Hold emStud H/LStudOmaha H/L (pref. Fixed Limit)Limit Hold emI make the most money playing NL (I finish in the money roughly 80% of the time) but Stud H/L is by far my best game. I often have diffculty getting into a good non hold em SNG on PokerStars as everyone is so Hold Em crazy...which explains why NL SNG's are my bread and butter as far as my bankroll. I am a better than average NL player, but Stud H/L is the one game i truly excell in. So...can anyone recommened a site where i can get into some more non Hold Em SNG action without waiting an hour and a half for the table to fill? By the way, are there any sites that offer mixed games? 2-7 triple draw? Lowball? Razz? anything outside of the norm.Thank you for yr comments! Link to post Share on other sites
Vade 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 2-7 triple draw is at Ultimate BetRazz is at Full TiltMost of the internet's sit and go's seem to be devoted to Holdem. I'd try Partypoker. Link to post Share on other sites
SabaAba 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Full Tilt, use the link below to sign up.They have the best structure for SnG's. But, depending on the time of day, the higher limits are tougher to get a full game going. But I have seen razz, 7-stud SnG quite a bit. Also, if there is a pro playing, very often if you approach them to joing the SnG, they will, and that almost certainly makes the table fill real fast. Link to post Share on other sites
JaysonWeber 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I have never played FullTilt SnGo's What's the Structure?UB is the best in my opinion. A month or so into this forum I did a big analysis on which places had the best SnGo's etc... FullTilt is the only one that might be as good as UB's, So can someone post FullTilt's Starting Chip Count, Blinds/Ante Structure and Time between blinds? Link to post Share on other sites
SabaAba 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Full Tilt works like this (sign up using my link below please)1500 starting chips, blinds go up every 6 minutes and they are something like this:15/3020/4030/6040/8060/12080/160100/200150/300 Link to post Share on other sites
JaysonWeber 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Hmmm... Wondering what's better now FullTilt or UB... I don't have the Time to do the math I did for them a few months ago... But it's closeStarting Chips 1500 - 7 minute intervals10/2020/4030/6050/10075/150100/200150/300EDIT: I looked at Aba's Post again, It looks like FullTilt might take the cake here... What about the MTT's Aba? same setup? Link to post Share on other sites
faketree 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 ultimatebet and fulltilt have the best SNG structures.IMO, fulltilt would completely eclipse ultimatebet if they increased the time between raising blinds from 6 minutes to 10.ultimatebet now uses 10 minute escalations but the increments are larger than fulltilt.if you are looking to play SNGs but in game other than hold'em, fulltilt is the place. ultimatebet has the options for SNGs for other games but they never get off the ground. on fulltilt you'll find Omaha 8, Pot-Limit Omaha, Stud, Stud 8 and razz SNGs get off pretty regularly at various buy-ins.howard lederer says that fulltilt will be adding 2-7 triple draw in the future but would not say when. ultimatebet is currently the only site to spread 2-7 and it is for cash and not in SNG format.

Suited_Up 2 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I did the math awhile back.Full Tilt has better blind escalation. But the fact that UB's levels are 10 minutes makes the play time longer between major levels.UB is slightly better. But they are close. If FTP went to even 8 minute levels it would be the best.

jjdylan 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 ive never played on UB or fulltilt, but Absolute has a good tournament structure (if you can put up with the software). 1500 starting chips and the blinds moved rather slowly allowing the good players to actually do their thing instead of it being an all in fest like some other sites.

SabaAba 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Jayson,Most MTT's are pretty much the same blind structure but with 10 minute blinds. Bigger tourneys actually have 2000 chips and I think 12 or 15 minute blinds, not 100% sure on that one though.I use to be complete Paradise loyalist, but I must say that Full Tilt is better. Even the brighter coloers just make it more pleasant. Link to post Share on other sites
Absolute 0 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Poker Stars isn't nearly as bad as people think it is.The structure as Party is by far the worst on the internet. Link to post Share on other sites

JaysonWeber 0 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Poker Stars isn't nearly as bad as people think it is..But it isn't close to UB or FullTilt, And Yes I stand Corrected UB's Is slightly better. I forgot the 10 minutes between blinds, We had a similar discussion a long time ago and We came up with UB being slightly better than FullTilt. Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Garceau 0 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 The Brunson networks... in my opinion are the best. Blinds start low, get 2k in chips and blinds go up every 9 minutes.Actually some good poker can be played. Link to post Share on other sites
Chrisj1616 0 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 UB tourney sturcture owns.....with the blinds being only 50/100 after the first hour theres lots of play.Most final tables leave you with 20-30 BB by the time you get there Link to post Share on other sites
Drum Infected 0 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Yeh I like doylesroom the best, you get 2000 in chips and 8 minute levels starting at 20/40, then 30/60 and up.you can also play special tourneys like 2 table, 4 table sng's and anywhere from .10cent sng's for the people just starting out, up to the 500$ games if you mr. moneybags.

Governator 54 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 UB also has turbo SNG's... they are quick something like 3 or 4 minute intervals for the blinds... sounds crazy? It certainly is. Link to post Share on other sites
elkang 0 Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Let me attack this from another angle for other readers:The veteran posters are advocating sites that favor better (more skilled) players. This means tourneys with longer levels and less severe blind transitions. To make it even simpler, you get to play more hands. If you can't understand this you need to quit poker for a bit.Can anyone else add more to this? Link to post Share on other sites
