Default I\'m sure this question has been asked a MILLION times...

I did use the search feature (Maybe not correctly)but here goes...

ahem...

Are SNG's more profitable than LHE ring games?

And yes, i know that's a pretty general question for the fact that everyone has their niche, but I was wondering if there's anyone who has played both and how they feel about this.

Comparing 10+1s to $25 NL and .5/1, all of which I've played at least 30k hands of, and require a ~$300 bankroll, 10+1s win for hourly rate, variance is close for 10+1 and .5/1, both are much lower than $25 NL.

That said, when I recommend a game for a newbie to play, it's micro limit holdem. Leaks at limit are going to much much less costly than NL ring or SNGS.

limit ring can become a bit more monotonous. there is supposedly less variance in sng's. you can multitable more sng's than rings (again, supposedely).

I heard the opposite is true. SNGs supposedly have very low variance. Relative to the other games of course.

no, he's saying the poster said sngs have less variance and you're "countering" by agreeing
