other successful bigger limit SNG players, how did you all advance to the level you're playing at now? was it a natural progression over time or was it a more quicker ascension due to early and profitable success?

I don't know what sort of games they play, but I play the 100/9 and 200/15 SNG's on party pretty regularly and find that they are always as easy as the 30/3. I really think it's more about how much money you want to play for than skill.

so your answer pretty much centers on the fact that you have the bankroll to play $100 and $200 SNGs on a regular basis rather than you worked your way up over time from lower limit ones to your present level?

[stupidsucker]

I am not any of those people, nor am I a big limit SnG player.

I do know from experiance that playing within your bankroll is quit possibly the most important thing to consider. I also would recomend that no one just start playing $100 or $200 SnGs without first proving yourself at the $20-$30 level. At least play 1000 $50 SnGs before trying the big ones.

If you already KNOW you are a winning player at SnG's (dont know how unless you have played enough), then I guess do what you want. No matter what.... never play with what you can't aford to lose.

Good luck

I disagree with that. IMO the $30's and the $100's do not play the same at all. If I was in a bad mood I might say something like "if you can't tell the difference between those games you don't belong in the $100s." But I'm not, so I won't. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

so are you saying the skill level at the $30s on Party is less than the $100s on Party?

[Dylan Wade]

I think that's a load of crap. Perhaps if you're talking about the 100 game any old time of the day 24/7, but I'm obviously adding some game selection here, (ie. friday and saturday nights). There is a difference between the various limits in cash games, but in tournies, esp single table tournies, that difference is negligible. That is, it has a negligible effect on your winrate. You don't see as many idiotic plays in the early rounds of a 100 game, but that's because they're scared, not because they play better.

I don't agree. I have statistics to convince myself otherwise, and I've seen numerous other posted examples of statistics which also provide evidence otherwise.

50% ROI in the 30 games has been achieved by numerous players, myself included. Find me one player who gets that in the $200 games. I've never seen such a claim over any significant sample, ever.

I'd love to learn otherwise, but I'm pretty certain you're wrong.

I don't have statistical proof but I have played a lot at both and I think it is basically fact that the $100's are more difficult to beat.
