How many SNG Grinders are there? Do people really SNG GRIND? I have tried it today with 9 $6 and 1 $11 and lost ummm $48 today!!!!! WTF I lost 8 of the 10 to extremely bad beats though.

Part of grinding is psychology and learning to deal with bad beats, and being thankful there are the morons that play this poorly. I wouldnt play the 6s because of the increased rake, start at the 11s, build up a bankroll, develop your play and of course post/read here to learn more.

Thanks for the quick response.
I think im a pretty good poker player, I only 19 though, I play at my local indian casino sometimes and online for the past year. But im just starting to get into it. Can somebody give me advice. I don't want to go pro or make $1Million in a day. Just make some money, have fun, and get better at poker.

We do grind a lot.

And I love picking apart HH's, probably more than playing poker itself. Post of some of those.

I'm only 20, so are my two roommates who play too. I think there are a lot of players in our age group. I think there is a post about a guide to beat the 10+1s, might want to try and search for it. Summarize in one sentence how to play the SNGs at the low levels. Play tight the first 3 levels, then start to loosen up and blind steal depending on your stack size. Blind stealing is a huge part of this game in my opinion. And good luck, and welcome to 2+2
