Pokerroom Three and Two table 20+2's

[tjh]

I play the Pokerstars 18 player SNG's every once in a while. I do not notice any difference in playing skills compared to a single table. I did no analysis of the payout structure since I figured the differences would be minor.

I like the multi table sit and go's I have posted questions here as to wether or not this is the forum for them and although I got no response I do feel that they play more like a single table than a full fledged 300 player multi that the advice found here is more accurate than general multi table advice.

The strange section in these tournies is when 11 players remain and you are at a 5 player table for a few orbits until you get switched to the final table of 10 or 9 depending on the site. I assume that I can use this to some strategic advantage and I hope that I already do but I have yet to put it into words. Something like

" the donks won't realize that the blinds are coming around twice as often and that you are getting more than your share, by the time you annoy the players to your left enough to invoke a spite call you will be moved to the final table and have two new victims on your left. "

Also make sure you take notes on the players because the seat shuffle at the final table can confuse you. A mental note that the player player across from me is weak and yields post flop will be useless when they no longer sit across from you.

I have done no statistical analysis of ROI of the two and three table SNG's and my sample size is insignificant but I do like the games. I played the Empire Poker two and three table SNG's because I liked the slower blind structure, or the larger stacks, I forget it has been a while.

I like them. They take only a little bit longer but the payout is greater.
