So I want to ask everyone what games they grind full time and why?
And also what games do you aspire to grind full time and at what level?

  • I grind HUSNG hyper turbo 7/15s level full time. My skill set is in heads up poker and I have received staking and coaching withing this platform.
  • I aspire to grind high stakes HUSNGs along with playing mid-high stake MTTs.
  • I also wish to throw in more live poker over my career.

I play only online , straggling to build a decent bankroll so far but with no success :p I play SnG and MTT at micro limits. My biggest buy in so far is the Big 4.40 at pokerstars. Only regular speed.

I like mostly the structure of the tournaments rather than the cash games although they are more time consuming! The deep run feeling is incomparable for me!

I would suggest finding what SNG plat form you are best at (6max,9max,single table, muulti table, and just grind the hell out of it. It's all about volume, come back to the MTTs when you have a bit or a role or dabble in a couple smaller buy in MTTs whilst grinding SNGs :D

I'm all about those SnG and cash games.

With both, I don't go below 9 people tables. I don't hate heads-up tournament poker or cash game poker, it's just that there's far less frequency of profit in them, especially at a higher buy-in level

I don't play much apart from HU, only mtts really. I prefer 6max for sure, you can get in more hands and play less tight which from mainly playing HU suits me more. I feel 9+ tables everyone plays super nitty.

That's what gives you the edge, you can get real reads without betting a single chip yourself in 9man if you're vs fish.

is it softer when you leak more through blinds and need to play riskier yourself to cope? I don't personally think so.

I play SnG hold'em 6-9 people turbo sometimes 360 people, and excellent knockout tournaments for me I like knockout that you can quickly knock out money for knocking out other players,
tournament that go 8-9 hours I do not play, they take a long time, if I play in a long tournament it's just a bounty builder with awards for knocking out, this tournament is worth it to play and beat money from players and raise your bankroll!

I play tournaments with a small entrance. From 1 to 3 $, but with a lot of players. If you are destined to win at least a good amount.

So looks like the majority are in it for the MTT dream, which is understandable probably the most profitable form of poker online and live atm. Only problem for grinding MTTs full time is the length of time you can put in and unless you finish final 3 its barely worth it.

Grinding SNGs makes a lot more sense and then moving onto MTTs once you have turned a profit over say 10k games. A slow steady profit whilst beating the game instead of this one big score we all dream of.
