So what sites have the best value Sit n Goes in terms of rake etc? And which offer the best value MTTs with guarantees?

I currently play on Titan and Full tilt.

I have not deposited on full tilt but sitting on $12 atm. Won via 2 small freeroll cashes and then playing some super turbo sats for the Daily Dollar and the $0.25+5 DD sit n goes.

I have yet to play the Ferguson or the Daily Dollar due to me being in the UK and the start times are tough to meet.

On Titan I have tripled my initial deposit thanks to 2 MTT cashes. One of which was a $1+0.10 freezeout with 750 entrants, so a prize pool of $750. I managed to finish 5th but Im sure I would have won more on another poker room that offers a guarantee prize pool boost.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Guaranteed price pool usally means nothing.
Titan and Fultilt are both fine.
If you want to play at Fulltilt I would suggest you to deposit so you can get rakeback, and to play the "first deposit freeroll", which can be a great boost to your bankroll.

guarantees on prize pools will probably be at buy-ins higher than you can play with that type of bankroll.

You probably want to play Don (double or nothings) of beginner tourney that pay more than 3 places for a 10 person SnG.

As for rake. low buy-in SnG's have the worst rake at almost all sites. I think Stars does have some $0.10 and $0.25 no rake MTT's though.

pokerstars, they got big guarantees for low buy ins but expect alot of people buying in and complete nosebleeds, also best for low buy in SNGS, they have alot more variety then full tilt, and they are probably softer on stars aswell, Gl, but honestly i prefer tilt, but thats because its easier to get around and the graphics are great

I prefer Pokerstars for both sng's and MTT's. I like the structure of their sng's with 10 min blind levels. Their guaranteed tournaments are great - not because of the guarantee but because of the structure. You get 3k starting chips and 10 or 15 minute blind levels.

i could be wrong but i think the rake is lower at pstars than FTP by a little? again i could be wrong but i believe so.

anyways id go with FTP so you can get rakeback, gives a nice boost to the BR for all your hard work. And their iron man program is a GREAT feature

The 25c no rake 45man MTT on Stars was how I built my $2 free money up. Very very soft. Once you move outside of that, the rakes are pretty tough unless you move into the turbos ($1.10 compared to $1.20 regular).
