EStormOk 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 if I get money on stars again...I'm gonna play 20 of those SnGs and sit out each one, after watching tv for an hour I should see how many I cashed in.You may be suprised how many of them will still be running after you come back from an hour break.Played one today to check them out, lasted one hour 20 minutes....I almost killed my self, but I did cash. If I quit playing them now I would finish + in them. Might be the only way for me to stay ahead. If I play very many of these I would go on tilt from boredom. Might try playing a couple of them while playing my normal turbo sngs. Link to post Share on other sites
grocery_mony 8 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 My favorite player was the mouthy guy who got up to 4k early and was bad mouthing everyone then bluffed all of his chips off in 5 minutes to finish 7th. and he was a silverstar Link to post Share on other sites

grocery_mony 8 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 so has anyone confirmed that siting out the whole way is +ev? Link to post Share on other sites
gradin123 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 so has anyone confirmed that siting out the whole way is +ev?I doubt it. Play is generally very tight and if people saw near the bubble that someone was sitting out then everyone would just fold nearly everything until he was gone. Link to post Share on other sites
gradin123 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I've played 20 $11s so far and am 18-2.Free Money?I have played 5 and am 3-2 and took a really bad suckout on one of my losses. I have no doubt I could make consistent money on these but it's a very boring form of poker. I may play some when I am distracted doing other things but not regularily.This is to poker what Casino War is to Blackjack. Link to post Share on other sites
grocery_mony 8 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 They really should only be raking these at 5% the same as HU sng. The donks money will last them longer with these so they get it back eventually in rake anyways. Link to post Share on other sites

jmbreslin 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I doubt it. Play is generally very tight and if people saw near the bubble that someone was sitting out then everyone would just fold nearly everything until he was gone.Depends on the stakes. I played a few of the $2.20's last night and though they were tighter than normal $1.20's many people still played them like regular SnGs. Patience tends to work very well at micro stakes because you can count on donks to mistake themselves out of the cash. Focus on playing premium hands, throw in a few speculative ones when the conditions permit, and don't commit too many chips postflop without a very strong hand. Link to post Share on other sites

See my post above about sitting out being a viable option at these stakes.On a separate note, I just noticed the antes at 25/50... Link to post Share on other sites

Brann6 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I've been busy the last couple of days and haven't played at all. To me, the real question is whether this new SNG format is sucking up all the fish...anyone know? Link to post Share on other sites
fright101 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I have been playing the 109's and the 55's as well and think they are easily beatable. Too bad its full rake. anywhoo.. build away! Link to post Share on other sites
