OrzyVibe 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 What would you consider a very good percentage of 'time in the money' for 1-table, mid/lower level online S-n-Gs? Also, would the natural progression from S-N-Gs be $1/$2 NL cash games? In the cash games, are you required to stay for any specific amount of time or can you come and go as you please?

In the cash games, are you required to stay for any specific amount of time or can you come and go as you please?You should be looking more at your ROI than your ITM %.ROI = sum of profits / sum of total buy insA "good" player would have an ROI between about 20 and 25% at low limit SNG's.ROI tends to decrease with increasing buyin.SNG's are very different than NL cash games. The game is the same, but how you play them differs greatly. Link to post Share on other sites

TheCinciKid 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 In order to be a winning player in SnG's, your ITM should probably be no lower than 35%. Anything over 40% and you're probably doing pretty well. Like an above poster said though, you should really be paying more attention to ROI than ITM. Link to post Share on other sites
nritchi3 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I wouldn't recommend you jump into 1/2NL from SnG's. Even if you have been playing the $33 or $55 dollar buy ins. I would at least start playing lower NL cash games because your proably gonna find that your playing way too aggresive and might burn through a few buy ins in the beginning you also might find that your just not a winning player at the cash games. Im very profitable at the $22 and $33 SnG's on Stars but im at best a break even player at .5/1 NL and above. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'll stick to the $20 and $30 entries S-N-Gs awhile longer. Link to post Share on other sites
deadmoney4u 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I was wondering what level bankroll you have to be playing $20-$30 sng's.As I have been playing the $5.50's for just over a year but last week decided to invest in my bankroll another $100 and start playing the at the next level $11.I have had a great run as I find the play slightly poorer and bluffs easier to push through, having now cashed in 20 of 21 games.Now with just over $600 on my account do you think it is too early to move up to $22 sng's?Do I need a bigger BR?Thanks in advance for your comments.

WhatArunAA 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 this is what I have been doing lately when i'm planning on pulling a week of just sit n goes with a few MTT( i'm predominately a MTT player).... I start out with 600 in my account.. every day. I play 4-6 30$ sng at a time and usually cash out the left over at the end of each day... I think that it really doesnt matter how much you have in your account as long as you can reload if you go broke.. the only way you are ever going to make good money playing poker is if you move up and take a shot.. gamble a little bit.... just make sure you are fine if you dont make it .. you can always try again at another time.. as for the amount of buy-ins for a certain level... i think this doesnt really apply to sit-n-goes as much for cash games... during cash games you should stick religiously to buy ins and all that... but for sit n goes.. I think 30 buy ins is a little absurd.. if you are a 37+ % in the money.. I think its very unlikely to go on a downswing of 30 buy ins.. and if you do.. you can always reload..i'll stop the random rambling now.. gl Link to post Share on other sites
