Discovered : Perfect site for the SNG pro. (If it had any players)

[nickianthony]

the problem with pokerchamps is the lack of players. i'm playing there right now, playing $5.50's while i work up enough money for the $11 party games. it's not too hard to find $1.10 and $5.50 games on pokerchamps, but anything higher is just uncommon.

hopefully the transition from pokerchamps to party will be easy... it should be easier than my move from UB to party, anyway. i'm planning on hitting $400 before moving to party and starting the $11. any thoughts?

[swarm]

why not start on party with a rakeback account. There are offers out there.

Might as well get use to the play, structure, etc.. at the place you hope to make money.

It's not like your making massive money with rakeback at these tiny levels.

ding ding ding. winning sngs isnt about being a better poker player. its about being a better shove artist. holla

For me the perfect sng site is:
1)Cool software.
2)Bad players.
3)Quick structure.
4)Lots of players.
4)Ability to 4table.
4 out of 5, Ill take it.

I think we were talking about good sites for an SNG pro.

Most pros here prefer Party's structure.

For a recreational player, I can understand the desire to have more chips and more playing time.

Im a recreational player and I prefer party structure, in fact I like a quicker structure not because of the hourly rate but cause its more fun and cool.( for me)

50% Rakeback (probably)>structure

50% rakeback = 5% ROI (at 10% raked games)
25% rakeback on party skin = 2.5% ROI (same games)

I think that any number of factors could outweigh a 2.5% ROI increase from rakeback. Structure being one of the big ones.

Lets say you only have a 10% 'natural' ROI. It doesn't take many more sng/her to make up the difference between 15% and 12.5% ROI.

Does anyone know what the poker champs structure is?

I forgot to factor in any rake back one recieves at another site one all ready plays.

Though I still think there is merit in recieving this 50% back weekly and directly from the site without need for a possibley unreliable relationship with an afilaite.

You can get back considerably more than 50% of your rake.

That is, if you sign up the right people and move the money around.

If you sign up on your own, however, getting 50% rake back by yourself will basically be impossible playing sit and goes. I don't what the original poster was talking about.


For example, say you and your 3 friends both generate $1,000 a week in rake. So you sign up, and then one friend signs up under you, and then another under that friend.

Your friend at the bottom will get $350 depositited into his account each week. The friend in the middle will get $577.50 into his account each week, and you will get $634.38.

If you all signed up on your own everyone would just get $350. This way you end up with $511.88 extra (about)

Someone tell me if I calculated this wrong.

This means that if you split all the rake up evenly, each person would end up getting about 52.5% back.
