What is your Favorite Low Stakes SNG.

What is your Favorite Low Stakes SNG.

What does every one think is the best low stakes SNG tournament out there.

How many players and what Buy in seems to make you the most profit.

2.25 buy in on full tilt poker.. 6 players... winner takes home more than 7.. I like this one. 2 players cash as oppose to the 9 player one where 3 players cash.

does $69 + 6 count as low stakes? those games are pretty easy, and I'd assume the level lower than that ($28?) is easier. the sats to the 750K gtd and top 3 cash STT are pretty soft as far as I am concerned

10 cent buy-in, 360 players, running non-stop on PStars. Top 36 get paid, $8.50 first place, takes about 2 hours to win, 1 hour to get in the money.

holdem baby

Holdem is always the best game. I like razz too but, there is rarely a low limit game available. I think holdem is the game widely played, so most people should stick with what they are use to if you want to experience success.

I like the pokerstars Double-up sit'n go. They start as low as $1.10, feature a single 10 player table, and pay the top five finishers double the buy-in. (A 1.10 buy-in pays $2.00) A conservative player can win these pretty consistently and accumulate frequent player points which allows them to enter $500 and $1000 freerolls.

anywhere

i play at different sites ,,,low stakes,,, if your wanting to learn and have a better chance of holding on to some of your money,,,try bodog sng's they have single table (at different buy-ins) these sng's pay five places instead of your normal three places...of course the pay out for the top places are lower but it for sure gives you a better chance to stay in the mix.
just my low-budjet thoughts
take care

favorite low stakes game?

i like the heads up on ftp 2 to enter many fish there be patient slow play them to death!

I like to play the 2 dollars HORSE heads up on FUll TILT. A lot of donks .

Hi.

I really like us$2 BYP S&G against 5 guys.
It's fast, sometimes easy and always a challenge.

Bye.

The matrix games on Full Tilt are ok, $1, $2 and $5 are usually fairly soft but occassionally packed with idiots! lol. 4 boards so a $2 game is like 4 50c games. Only need a first in one and a top 3 in any other for a profit. Not too difficult if you have any patience.
The $3 90 seat SnG knockout is pretty good too. 50c per kill and top 9 get paid. I've won a few of these for $72 plus your kills.

Some great suggestions.

Bring Your Patience

I like playing the $2 HORSE, 8 player SnG's at Full Tilt. Top three place. If you are patient you can make it by waiting for the donks who just HAVE TO play EVERY hand. When you get to the higher blinds, this strategy usually wears itself out and then you can take advantage of them.

I also like the Carbon $2 SnGs. I play these pretty much the same way and can usually cash 8 out of 10 games.

Good Luck!

Any on the non-turbo 90 person SNGs on pokerstars are really good. The blind structure is much better than any of their other sngs. 10 min blinds, but the blind increases are much lower (i.e. 10/20, 15/30, 20/40, 25/50), plus you start with 2000 chips and top 12 out of 90 get paid. I play mostly these, the 180's and the single table 9's.

I play the $1 45 player turbo sngs at pokerstars - also $3 and $7 I think..

looked at the 90 player, but woould take too long for me.

non-turbo sngs have double the rake I think and take too long so not for me!

in terms of rake the $2 bounty sngs on merge are good ($0.20 total rake in the 6 player sng, or about 2%, as they add $1 to prizepool)

ipoker have the jackpot sngs if you think you're really good (win 5 in a row for jackpot of about 500 times buyin or so?)

full tilt have their academy sng challenges, so can get points (still waiting to find out what they're worth) whilst playing sngs....(worth it if on rakeback as well!)

lots of sites (eg pokerstars 'battle of the planets', merge normal leaderboard and 'streaker' leaderboard) have leaderboards for 1 table sngs

partypoker (eu only) have awful rake (20%), but equally awful players in the 30 player $3 sngs...

worlds worst players play at bodog and 888 though...

depends on what exactly you are after, but all of above worth looking into...

The non turbos are the same rake (10%).

1.25 90 man SNG at FTP
3000 Starting Chips

I like to play the 2$ bounty SNG at carbon poker, 6 or 10 players.
I like the bounty SNG because you can get your buyin even if you don't get to the money.

i like the $2 games...the competition on average isnt that good, you still get paid on your big hands like at .50cents and $1.... but without the all in preflop junk every other hand....5$ sng you dont get paid off as much on your straights and sets atleast i dont (people final start to learn where the fold button is at $5)

i like to personally play all the tourneys on fulltilt which are double stacked

gives you much better odds to do better and work with your chip stack

I will definitely check some of these games and levels out.




Thanks everyone .....

I really dig the $4.40 180 Player Sit n gos at Pokerstars and have found them very profitable.

I'd still have to go with the old $10 SNG on full tilt. Its a small round number that sounds serious, so it brings in all the donks. Wait it out, then BAM! Take them all down.

well for me it is the cake sng bounty tourneys.
they usually run non stop and for as lo as 2 dollars i've seen them.
they are pretty easy game to beat.
or at least make your buy in back lol.

0.25+0.05 NLHE 9 player sat to the daily dollar on FT.
First two get the ticket (you can unregister for 1 tourney $, too), third 0.25.
Extra easy.
