Is there much of a difference? I'm brand new to sng's but have been beating the ring games for a while now. I just switched to kill boredom and am wondering where to start. My bankroll is big enough for the 200's so I thought I would just jump straight to the 22's. I printed out AleoMagus's guide to the 11's and am surprised at how tight it is (especially since I've been playing 6 max lately). Is this also a good primer for the 22's or do they play differently? Sorry if this post is noobish but all my searches have been in vain.

Thanx,
jokerthief

If you have the bankroll you might as well start at the 22s. I started at the 100s because I was bored and went back to the 20s because after reading this forum I knew that I didn't know what I was doing.

I played about 15 10+1s but didn't like them very much. I felt a bit lost. Thus I did not want to learn them to play just to later have to unlearn a couple of things when I move up. At the 22s there are more players at least TRYING to play better poker. So they are a bit more predictable.

Wow. 22s are full of donks (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=2898238&page=0&view=c ollapsed&sb=5&o=14&vc=1). The players aren't ANY better than the 11s.

OP should just start off at whatever level he wants. I'd play some 11s to see how I feel with SNGs. If I thought I could beat em, I'd just move up to 22s to get some more money. But playing low allows you to get the cheapest lessons if you're a losing player. Which is what most players start off as.
