SNG on pokerstars, 1 table or 2 tables?
I did a few searches and couldn't find antyhing about this, but if it's been dicussed before, please send me in the right direction.
So, I play SNGs on Pokerstars and I am trying to build my bankroll to play 10$ and eventually higher stakes tournaments. Right now, I play only 5$ SNGs. I am wondering which is best, playing 1 table or 2 tables SNGs? In 1 table SNGs, I have a 1 in 3 chances to make the money. But I make less if I win. In 2 tables, I have a 1 in 4.5 chances to make the money, but I make more. I find that making the final table with an average stack is not that hard in the 2 tables SNGs. So I think that I should play those. But there is also the time factor, 2 tables SNGs are taking more time of course. So, any advices? What do you all think? Thanks in advance for your feedback |

People play more than one sng at the same time just to save time.

Re: SNG on pokerstars, 1 table or 2 tables?
Hi Marc,
Here is my take on your situation. At least a couple of ways to look at it. First off, you mentioned that you win more at the 2 table. That is true for the most part, but given the % to be ITM (33.3% for 1 tbl, and 22.2% for 2 tbl), you have to look at one more thing. At the 1 table, your 33.3% chance refers to placing third ($9 @ the $5+.5 game). At the 2 table, your 22.2% chance refers to placing fourth ($9 @ the $5+.5 game). So concidering that, you win $9 at the single table 33.3% of the time, while winning $9 at the two table 22.2% of the time. Granted, these numbers only reflect the percentages when placing low in the money. One other thing, there are always maniacs in the $5+1 SNG's. So I like the single tables, as I can be patient early in the tourny and watch two or three players get knocked out (sometimes in the 1st level of blinds). Now I only up against 6 or 7 players, increasing my odds to take money. Good luck with increasing your bankroll. |
