SnGs where half the players are awarded an equal share of the prize pool.


Slow and unremarkable games but their pretty easy to win the ~60% of the time you need to beat the rake. I've been doing great at micro stakes and ive seen them up to like 30 bucks so it might be a good way to make some consitent money.

I like the principle for building a bankroll on the double up games, but damn these people play it tight and it normally becomes high blinds and you need to win a race scenario to place.That's my experience

Yeah I've definitely noticed that. I threw away pocket aces pre against an all in because I didn't want to risk my stack on dumb luck. The fact that all players who cash get the same amount really tightens up the table once your not at risk of blinding out.

fee is big in most of poker rooms like mpn or ipoker or some super turbo shit with 4 min blinds or something like that so it is not that easy

Exactly, when I first noticed them it seemed an easy way to build my bankroll. I still play them from time to time, if I don't find any other good games running. It does seem to get played very tight, ?? Still up in the air. I lack patience at times and have been known to get myself in trouble in these double or nothing

I also think that in SnG tournaments pretty quickly you can fill your bankroll, but if you decide to play SnG $ 30 and above, you need to chose the most time of the day, in which he played fewer professionals and regulars

I played those for a while. Being a slow money maker, I got bored.
