Where to start

Hello every 1.

I have been playing online for about 10 months and i am winning but i only play micro cash games.I have never played in a SnG.i have placed in quit a few freerolls which i know in a lottery.

My question is,I am wanting to start playing SnGs,what SnGs should i start on so i can get some experiance.

(hope i have posted this in the right forum)

Look foward to your advice

PS:my currant bank roll is $20,i have never made a deposit into FT but i do play on my local sight Piggspeak where i have a bankroll of R1000($150).

You could try a real low SNG, or do a 1.00 one. Also seeing how you do good in freerolls, do some real low ones, that are 18 player or higher, remember to play TAG.

yes. few people. low cash. $1 dolar $0.50 dolars.... so if you lose you don't feel disapointed

I havent played many SnG's on FT. But maybe look into some .25¢ SnG's until you find out which ones are for you. Whether its MTT (27,45,90 etc.) or just a single table SnG. But if your BR is $20, I wouldnt jump into the $1 ones until youve played in a few and got a little experience with them.

IMO, its better to be cautious than bankrupt.


Good Luck.

.25 sattys to the daily dollar can be good getting used to the format then move on up!

I just started playing SnG's recently as well. I started with a $.90 sat into some other sat, got lucky on my second one and won the entry of $17. From there I went to heads up for a while, broke even at those after a week. Then on to the SupTurbo sats....you can sure make some cash fast cash in those let me tell ya. I think the lowest they go is like $3.90 so you might want to build you BR up a bit before you try those. But the very lowest-stakes sats are probably your place to start.

thanks for all the info,i will give them a go and keep CC updated .

I realy apriciate the advice.

$20 is a bit light to play S&G's on Full Tilt.

The micros are $1 +$.25. That's rake rape.
The $2 +$.25 are a bit steep rake-wise, but acceptable. So I'd wait until you were at least rolled for those games.

There at $.25 +$.05 and $.75 +$.15 satellites/super-satellites, but 20% rake is steep. They're basically games to exploit people who have so little money that they don't have any choice.

You mention that the freerolls are lotteries. That's not exactly true. A smart/disciplined player has a huge advantage in those things. I mean, we joke about them being lotteries because people tend to overplay hands there (IE, lots of big live-or-die pots), and you can only call so many all-ins with the best hand without getting unlucky. Those pesky 2-to-1 all-in's tend to lose about 1 out of three times, which is fatal.

I sometimes use the .50 SNG at Ultimate bet. Also get into the private Freerolls , like Cardscaht. Good luck in your endevors.
