| are 18 people sit and go's considered MTT's? right now i play $2 turbo stt with a bankroll of $60 and feel comfortable. i do usually 4-5 tables at once and am making good avg ROI (around 25%). but im wondering if i could do like 6 18 man SNG's at a time? that is too much for my bankroll, right? |

| It is technically a Multi Table Tournament. However, most people will refer to those as an "18 player S&G's" and refer to tournaments with a large field as MTT's. Personally, I'll call usually anything more than 10 tables an MTT, and refer to smaller games by their # of players. |

| re: are 18 people sit and go's considered MTT's? poker The more tables and players the greater the variance. By definition I also consider 18man sng's MTTs. I would have slightly higher buyin requirements for a 18person game and keep increasing BR requirements as the fields get larger. . |

| As their is more than 1 table they must be considered Multi Table Tourneys. Quote:

I concur. I know of no solid rule on the matter, but conventionally most players when they speak of an MTT mean something containing 90+ players. If my memory is correct, that is also the definition we use at CC, where relevant, for things like the record of big wins. |

So the answer to your question isn't going to be a chart. The more people in a game, the bigger the 1st place prize (what you are aiming for), but with more people comes a decreased liklihood of you winning (higher variance). In 3,600 player MTT's you are going to have a *lot* of cashless losses and a lot of minor wins that don't help your BR out much. So you'll have to go through a ton of games before you can expect to do well. You just keep throwing your small buy-in into the money pit until you finally get that nig score that pays for it all. Compare that to a 36 player S&G, where you might get a big win every 20 games or so, along with several smaller cashes. You don't have to play much before you can expect a return on your investment. Certainly not the hundreds and hundreds of games you'd need in the MTT. |

A few cosiderations; -The pay structure in limited MTT's is fixed, so I'm thinking that you want to pay attention to the percentage of players who cash. In large field MTT's (unknown # of tables to start, the pay structure is seldom fixed until registration/rebuys/add-ons are finished and the total pool is established. However, there is generally some indication about which payout structure is used under a 'Tourney Info' tab or page. -With fewer buy-ins, you might want to seek games with the highest payout percentages in regards to number of players cashing vs number of players entered. Bodog has a 50% game for instance where the payouts are smaller, but spread wider. -Other good examples are the structures used in satellites. For instance to get a $26 token at Full Tilt you can go about it a few different ways; HU at $13.75 18 players at $8.80 with 5 players getting a ticket- left overs to bubble 18 players at $6.60 with 4 players getting a ticket- left overs to bubble 9 players at $4.40 with 1 ticket and a 2nd place of $10 And a few variations of FTP satellites. Some games are structured better, and can vary traditional BR management theories for each person. |
