I love $1.25 9-man SnG's

#1 30th October 2007, 4:19 AM

I've entered four of these things today, cashed out in two, both wins. Here's the stats on my last one.

Statistics for 69 Hands
Street Saw Saw/Total
Flop 24 35%
Turn 12 17%
River 5 7%
Showdown 3 4%
Street Won Won/Saw Won/Total
Pre-flop 6 9% 9%
Flop 7 29% 10%
Turn 6 50% 9%
River 2 40% 3%
Showdown 2 67% 3%

I'm at the $9.50 mark after a $5.50 stake from philthy.

And to think this is the first time I've ever played with real cash.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to fade the 25% rake long term, no matter how good you are. Move up to $ 5+ $0.50 (10%) games as soon as possible, or play on a site like UB that has $0.50 + $0.05 sngs.

25% is totally unacceptable, and you should complain to FT in addition to boycotting these games.

i'm up to $2 + $0.25 now. More like 12.5%, a lot better.

Still more than the 10% you should have to fade... anyway, I'm glad you escaped that horrible level, but know you were lucky to do so...

i agree with AG in that the 25% rake is awful. 12.5% is not too bad, but 10% and better is definitely nice if you can get there and still outplay the rest of the competition

what site are you playing on???

#7 30th October 2007, 7:43 PM

$1.25 is most likely FullTilt.

I recommend as someone else already did the $5 ones. I've been playing the $2 Sngs for the last few weeks and was doing ok, but lately i've found myself losing to horrible suckouts more often than not, mostly to donk that would call with any rag or chase any pair/straight/flush draws.

You may have been lucky now, but in the long run, these levels will end up frustrating you ( it happened to me ). So i moved up to the $5 even though my bankroll is not that big and so far i've felt i've been playing better and have not been called as often with rags.
