I want to start playing some SnG's to keep poker more interesting and start developing my tournament play. I generally play micro limit games online ($0.5/$1) right now and am probably a slightly above average player (nothing statistically significant of course).
Oh yeah, I've never played a real $ SnG before /images/graemlins/grin.gif, I have played MTT freerolls (my best finish was 16 out of 2,500) on ultimate bet and can consistenly beat play money SnG's (probably don't mean anything though!)
I've read most of the contents of the SnG faq (the sticky note).
Based on what I described, I currently play on Pacific Poker (due to a promotion, will switch to paradise or even back to Party soon) and have the following questions:
1) Is it ok to start with the $2.50 + $.25 SnG's? I hear people say that play is more normal and beatable around the $5-$10 range, but its a large amount relative to the limits I play. Is it still worth the time or should I build a larger bankroll first?
2) Should I play limit or no-limit SnG's?
3) Related to Q#2, what are some adjustments you would suggest that I make/pay more attention to. For example, in micro limits, there are lots of instances where you check/call if you suspect you're slightly behind (but with outs) to see a cheap showdown, obviously this is a lot different in SnG's, especially the no-limit ones.
4) Any other tips before you tag me as a fish at the tables /images/graemlins/blush.gif?
Thanks a lot guys!
