Default Re: SNG on pokerstars, 1 table or 2 tables?

Hi Marc,

Here is my take on your situation. At least a couple of ways to look at it.

First off, you mentioned that you win more at the 2 table. That is true for the most part, but given the % to be ITM (33.3% for 1 tbl, and 22.2% for 2 tbl), you have to look at one more thing.

At the 1 table, your 33.3% chance refers to placing third ($9 @ the $5+.5 game).
At the 2 table, your 22.2% chance refers to placing fourth ($9 @ the $5+.5 game).
So concidering that, you win $9 at the single table 33.3% of the time, while winning $9 at the two table 22.2% of the time.

Granted, these numbers only reflect the percentages when placing low in the money.

One other thing, there are always maniacs in the $5+1 SNG's. So I like the single tables, as I can be patient early in the tourny and watch two or three players get knocked out (sometimes in the 1st level of blinds).
Now I only up against 6 or 7 players, increasing my odds to take money.

Good luck with increasing your bankroll.
