| How long do sng's take? FTP Hi guys, Question for you. I KNOW each tourney is different, based on the players. But at the same time, the blinds go up at a specific pace, so it is difficult for the players (no matter how good or bad) to be the complete 'bottleneck' for the speed of a tourney. I played a $1 dollar 90-man 'deep' sng yesterday and came 5th. I actually just ended up giving away my chips (not literally, but just kept raising) because I couldn't stay and couldn't wait another hour for $15. The tourney took 4-hrs in total. Assuming you win the tourney, for Full Tilt sng's(mostly where I play) can anyone fill in the blanks here (I am only looking for very GENERAL times) 180-man sng's take approximately _____ hrs (min) 90-man deep sng's take approximately _____ hrs (min) 90-man deep turbo sng's take approximately _____ hrs (min) 45-man sng's take approximately _____ hrs (min) 27-man sng's take approximately _____ hrs (min) 27-man turbo sng's take approximately _____ hrs (min) 18-man sng's take approximately _____ hrs (min) 18-man turbo sng's take approximately _____ hrs (min) 9-man sng's take approximately _____ hrs (min) 9-man turbo sng's take approximately _____ hrs (min) Although I could fill in a couple myself, I figure if I get enough input, I will finalize the post and if people want to play a sng, they can know approximately how long they need to set aside for the game. Does the buy in amount make a difference? $1, $5,............$100? If this has already been done, please direct me to the post/thread. Thanks! |

| Mmmmm.... Well depends when you bust if you do bust... Best thing to do is look at the blind structures and number of players and total number of chips... Then work out the highest blinds you can get... The add up all level = Total time.... So a single 9 seater... Would a maximum of 132 minutes 2 hours and 12 minutes... 13500 / 2 = 6750 ... Highest blinds are around 2000/4000. Level 22. Level 22 * 6 = 132. |

| I typically play single table 9 man and they last anywhere from 30 minutes (rare, but happens if there are a lot of fish and donks on the table) to 1 hour and 30 minutes (Also rare, usually only last that long if there are a lot of rocks and decent players on the table) I would say the median time is right around an hour to a little over an hour. |

| I have to agree that the 9 player SNGs will last anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. An hour and a half is definitely rare, but if the final three players are good it is possible. I have played a few 90 person double stack $1 sngs and for some reason 4 hours sticks out in my mind, havent played enough of them to remember. If you want a single number for the 9players I would just put 1 hour which is what seems about avg for them. Of course this can give or take 20 minutes. |

I STRONGLY Disagree..... if they're good they'll be raise > 3bet shove/fold and game will last till they get it in. As far as how long the games last just check out 'completed' sng's & you'll see 'exactly' how long previous ones have lasted. Another question... this one is for OP. You say you didn't want to play for another hour & so busted out in 5th?? In a 90plyr. (or 45), once there's ~5 or 6 players left the game can be over within minutes and rarely goes for more than 10 more mins. max. (if it's a Turbo 90plyr., probably even less as stacks sizes are usually pretty shallow in relation to the blinds, even in the 45's at reg. speed the stacks are shallow on final table). |
