PP players...how do you do it with only 800 in chips??!!!
 

For the life of me I don't understand how a PP player can be profitable in SNGs...well you know what I mean, I couldn't do it. I have been checking out some other sites besides pokerstars and they just don't compare. Ok PP has the big fish, I understand that. But who needs big fish when you have chips and time??? Just give me some minos, good starting chips, and time.

Does anyone play at both PS and PP??? Do you guys see a difference??? More gambling I would think at party, because there just doesn't seem like enough room to breathe. I mean i guess one could argue you're all in the same boat, so you're all gambling. But still I need to be able to pick my spots.

Personally, I purchased the deluxe luckbox. It came with the "ignore hole cards" option.

It does seem like PP is tough when you play a bigger stack, but I was marginally profitable at PP & I can see why in the end it is much better for multiers & the top players. However, I love the big stacks myself, but will probably go back to PP one day.

I'll be more serious. Yes, with bigger stacks and slower blinds a skilled player have a bigger advantage. But the SnGs take twice as long to complete. So if you play to make money, the PP SnGs should be more profitable. They go fast and you have a big enough edge in them.

personally I wouldn't mind 20 hands of 10/15, 10 of 50/100 and then 100/200.

yeah you are definitely right about that. For a person that can play the shorter SNGs well PP is a lot better. I kinda wish I could do that. I tried for a little to get into the turbos but I just couldn't take it.

I would still think a Turbo on pokerstars would be more profitable than a regular at PP...to a fast paced player that is.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all PS SNG's played nine-handed? I recently left PS after giving it a try even though I think I like the features there the best because I was under the assumption that there are no ten-handed games, at least at my level ($5.50). I'd like to give PP a try to see if I can win there on a faster basis, but I don't have the bankroll for the $11's yet, and I'm not paying dollar-vig on my $5's.

So *that's* why! Can you buy it on Amazon and get overnight shipment?

I play at PokerRoom/Bet on Bet but gave Eurobet a try this past weekend. I have mixed feelings about it. The games were much, much quicker. I don't think they were any easier though, the shorter stack nullifies some of my edge on the fishies. When I move from 4 to 8 tables I'll probably play half of them at Euro.
