SnGs will be pretty easy for you to make a little money. However dont neglect ring games forever. I was able to make money on partys SnGs right off the bat much like yourself(my story is very similar to yours). However i didnt really start learning alot until i started playing the ring games and plugging all my leaks. I thought i was pretty good until I found out i couldnt make money at ring games. Youll hear allot of fish saying that there is more money in SnGs than in ring games. Thats prob true for most new people. But once you start playing ring games is when you will start trully studying the game. Trying to squeeze out 1 more BB an hour WILL make you better.

GOOD LUCK!

OK, let me see here. Let's make a to list:

1) Read, read, and read some more
2) Buy TTHE
3) Play some SnGs for experience

One question regarding the SnGs. Should they be limit, no limit, or a combination?

unless you plan on be a no limit specialist i think you will learn more playing the limit ones. These where the ones i played. You get more bang for your buck as well IMHO.

At the Party 10+1 SNG, what is the payout? Is it to the top 3 players only?

J.R. · #15 11-17-2003, 05:38 PM

5 times buy-in first
3 times buy-in to second
2 times buy-in to third

This applies to all Party SNGs, as well as to most other sites' SNGs.

If you havent moved the money to Party yet, consider PokerStars instead. The software is better, the one table SnG structure is better, and once you can afford some variance the two table SnG is a better value than one tablers.

I agree, I'm fairly new and I do well playing SnG's at UB. I've turned 55 dollars into 250 at stars and 25 into 125 at UB. I just recently started playing .25/.50 NL It's a whole new ball game. It doesn't take long to lose money chasing a flush draw or str8. Concentrate on building your bankroll and not make expensive mistakes. You should do fine if you've had your nose in the books.

I played with a guy on UB last night that I thought might be a solid player, he had about 50 bucks when I sat down. He built it up to 100 bucks after 30 minutes, but then he went crazy, he started playing terrible. He lost it all in a few hands and it wasn't from bad beats. (Don't be one of these guys) Be the one who wins money from this type [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Good luck,
