random thank you\'s and thoughts
I've spent a lot of time reading the FAQ and the threads that others recommended and have been playing the $5+1 SNGs at Party with good success. Thank you all.
It is amazing that this group is so supportive of what essentially are competitors. My admiration grows for those who can multitable SNGs. I tried last night and inadvertently signed up for two NL and one Limit tourney (mistake). As luck would have it, I got past the bubble and cashed in all 3 but it was an incredibly frantic 20 minutes. I'll need much more experience and much, much more caffeine before I'll can manage this again. Thanks again to the group. |

If you've read everything you should know by now that your time would be better spent at the 10+1s!

"and much, much more caffeine"
Seriously raises your heartbeat which I'd imagine takes YEARS off your life. I feel like I'm killin myself drinking 2-3 1.25L bottles of pepsi max a day. |

I want to spend some more time at low-risk, very low cost SNGs before I get swell-headed and move up even a little. Are the $10+ games the same as the $5+? |
Re: random thank you\'s and thoughts
I haven't played the $6s to be able to answer your question, but what I believe Mr_J meant was: If you have read everything, then somewhere in there you would have read that the extra vig on the PP $5 (20% vs. 10%) is -EV.

Re: random thank you\'s and thoughts
If you are having good success at the 5s then you should deffinatly move up to the 10s. it wont be much of a jump if any.

Re: random thank you\'s and thoughts
If you're playing $5 SNGs, play on Poker Stars which only charges 10% vig ($.50) vs. Party which charges you 20% ($1). No shame in staying well within your comfort level, whatever it may be.

Re: random thank you\'s and thoughts
lets see.... biggest difference b/t 6 and 11... in 11's 2 people aren't out at the end of the first hand, it takes a rotation for that
