kreppsen 0 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Yes, it possible and it might be a good way to boost your bankroll. The micro stakes are very easy to cash in. I sugest you try play a few of the 5$ ones or lower to get a grip on how it's done.A main rule I use in these is, don't be a hero. Accumulate dead chips over time, and let the donks kick eachothers butts. Though, if you do get a good spot to double up, take it. Because the blinds increase rapidly, in both turbo and the normal ones.Just in case, the tourney ends when the 6th player is eliminated, so finishing with 600 chips is fine.

stenitz2 0 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I've played a few dozen double through SNGs, usually 6 man. I agree- don't be a hero. There seems to be a whole lot less pre-flop raising and c-betting than on a standard SNG, mostly people trying to fold their way to the money, which they will occasionally manage. If someone starts playing loose to gather up money pre flop, punish them with a re-raise when you get hole cards, they will almost always fold.The bubble in a double through can be brutal, especially if the deep stacks aren't putting the pressure on. If you're in the short stack in that position you need to choose between hyper-aggression to steal enough blinds to outlast your opponent or simply folding, hoping that the deep stacks will take care of the other stacks (easy if you are up against a limp-fold donk, but that's not every time).

outsider13 0 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Just an fyi, you def shouldn't be playing $10 with less than a $100 bankroll. Stick with the $5 for now. One bad session and you may be left with nothing. Link to post Share on other sites
