Where to play STT

[pascalc]

Hi. i guess i wanna start playing STT now and try if i am any good.

i dont have a huge bankroll (right now <100$) to do so.

if i have a good ROI and ITM i wanna play simul too and when the bankrolls okay go to a higher level.

what sites would you tell me to play? and what limits? what anout the rakes? and so on ..

thanks a lot.

Well my friend Pascal Charbonneau, whom I introduced to 2+2 like 2 days ago. Seemed like a big coincidence that someone named pascalc would sign up right afterwards!
Anyway I'd play at partypoker or pokerstars. PartyPoker has a higher vig, because you have to pay $5+1 to play, but the players are terrible. Pokerstars lets you play for $5+ 50 cents, but the players are slightly less terrible.

I would recommend a Pokerstars account, go play the $6+50c turbos 9 and 18 seat versions available, the Party SNG strategy cited often on these boards works well in those, even though the early game strategy should be very different.

Good luck and Regards

Why should the early game strategy be different?

(my guess: larger stack sizes allows for slightly looser play)

Correct, I wouldn't take it to extremes but you can certainly play a lot more hands than QQ KK AA AK in the first two levels.

Basic spec is

9 or 18 players depending on 1 or 2 table SNG
each player has 1500 chips at start
prize money split 50/30/20 for 9 seat 40/30/20/10 for 18 seat
blind struture is 5 mins per level
10/20
15/30
25/50
50/100
75/150
100/200
100/200 25 ante
200/400 25 ante
300/600 50 ante
400/800 50 ante
600/1200 75 ante
1000/2000 100 ante
1500/3000 150 ante
and so on

Regards Mack

are the blinds at poker stars timed?? I believe that party poker (the blinds )go up every 10 hands.....if they are timed wouldnt it be to your advantage to take a lot of time to make your decisions in the late rounds to put more pressure on the smaller stacks by giving them less hands before blinds increase??

It would but i wouldn't do it because I wouldn't like other people doing it to me, in fact it really pisses me off.
