Percentage in the Money

[strateego]

I'm new to the SNG and I have a few quick questions that I couldn't find in the FAQ.

1. What is a good percentage of finishing in the money for 1-Table SNG?

2. Which 1-Table SNG's are the easiest to beat, Star's or Party's?

1. 40% and above is usually seen as a good percentage in the money (ITM). Most people focus more on Return on Investment (ROI), as you may make more money with a lower percentage in the money if you get a lot of 1sts and a small number of 3rds.

2. Party's SnGs are usually seen as being easier because of the generally more sucky nature of the players. However, some players prefer Stars because you get more chips and a slower blind structure, thus giving a good player more time to use skill.
