SnGs for a living
 

It seems that most pros play money games, but do any of you (pro and non-pro) strictly play SnGs? If so, at what buy in and do you multitable SnGs?

There is a whole forum just for SnGs here...

Best SnG person I know is ZeeJustin by far.

I can safely assume you mean cash games. I can't imagine it being profitable without multi-tabling.

I needed a change of pace a while back and played nothing but SNGs on-line for about a month. I multi-tabled 3 to 6 tables and I made some serious loot over that time. I played anywhere from 20+2 to 50+5 on party.

what do you define as serious loot?

On average I've made about $1300 per full week in SNGs. I think that's not too bad considering the buy-ins are low. However, "serious loot" may be considered an overstatement.

How many did you play a week?

Re: SnGs for a living
 

This question is asked a lot in the single table tournament forum. The answer is yes, a lot of people play SNGs for a living. Keep in mind that a living for some people won't pay the rent for others.

An ROI of 15% at the 22s would pay you an average of $3.30 per SNG. Four tabling on party, fairly easy work, you should average six SNGs per hour, so your hourly pay would be about $20. Your ROI will decrease as the stakes increase, and/or as your tables increase, but you should be able to find a point that meets your needs.

I started playing 22s after a brutal downswing at limit. I haven't played enough to have confidence I'm going to be a long-term winner, but I seem to have some talent for the game and I've already recouped my limit losses and still going strong.

They're also fun. You don't have to sit back and let the donks suck out on you--you can punish them severely.

there is absolutely no reason to four table on party. sngs do not require a lot of deep thought (especially not at the 22s).

a ton of people make a ton of money playing SNGs for a living (usually at significantly higher stakes than 22s). apparently, although i dont think anyone has ever conclusively determined this (would seem like the sample sizes necessary would be outrageous), it is one of, if not the lowest variance form of poker available. which is good for a lot of peoples psyches.
