MTT's or Sit&Go's

Hi guys, I was wonderding: what do you like the most? MTT's or Sit&Go's and why?

Personnaly I like the structure of MTT's more, but I do cash more more in Sit&Go's

You're right. Playing in tournaments you can win a nice jackpot, but it is difficult. Sit & Go in small amounts and frequently. The MTT, structure and number of players can affect your game.

I like MMT because of the large payouts for top finishers. That beomg said the payout for lower finishers is pitiful and often feels like a waste of time. For that reason I like the SNGs better, cash per hour seems alot more productive.

For me MTT>Sit&Go mainly because of payouts and i've sentiment to MTT because I won there my first money

If you train a lot in sit & go you will open many doors in MTT .... think always play the best poker possible with attention and patience .... studying, analyzed mistakes and hits .... with skill and appropriate attitudes will win in any Modality

I find MTTs much interesting and rewarding. Despite a huge amount of players, the good ones will be given what they truly deserve.

But SnG are great for practice.

The two are excellent tournaments, I like both because in the MTT you register with little money and with a very good style of play you can get great rewards as the prizes are great due to their late registration, and the sit & go Are tournaments of few participants and its inscription has a cap ....

I like them both, but sngs take a much smaller time commitment. Also the sngs make it easier to fill the screens.

Sngs also can be great practice for mtts ie you can practice mtt end game by playing hyper sngs etc.

id prefer MTT cauze of u have more challenge more players than in limited players SNG...
Another point i still dont get the difference between sng and mtt players , i still didint clarified yet to myself.

MTT is better for me, you can win more experience over time a lot of leaves, in contrast to sit-and-go

i like to play them both, mtts when i have more time for poker and sngs when i am in time deficit

I prefer SNG because one can get a game in and done in about two hours. I do like the money of MTT. But the biggest thing is SNG pay 30% of the entry field

I like MMT due to large payments and long play poker and enjoy the game!

I love tournaments more, just in Sit and go I dont see sense.

Sit & Go is better and more chances to win.I like to play

I like MTT and Sit & Go's, equally , but I playing more in the Sit & Go's, at the MTT sometimes there's no time to play

I like more tournaments , either they are normal buy in or freerolls , sngs come second . Tournaments have more fun , either normal buy in or freeroll , the payment structure , I enjoy it more , the sngs are good , I prefer the 0.10$ , in the past 0.25$ , on stars , but many times I just play for fun (play money)

I usually play MTTs,but when little time,I go for one table.It all depends on how much time you have.

It is good to play sit & go to perfect your level , money MMT to lomgo term.

For me both are interesting, only you need to play good and agressive.

I prefer the SNG tournaments because you can select the desired duration of the tournament

Game MTT difficult but it brings more money in case of contact with prizes.And if you took 1 or 2 place that elevates self-esteem).But the game in MTT requires strict discipline and endurance!

I prefer short/ quick games so smaller field sngs is were I tend to play, although I certainly jump into some larger field mtts if I know I'll be playing awhile.

Personally, i do prefer more Sit & Goes for one single reason, it's way more consistent type of game which keeps me from frustrations over huge down swings on MTTs. Plus, i believe that MTTs require a lot bigger BR because of a huge variance and it's more for hit and run type of play for me, if i win something big, i will be not coming back to MTT's soon

Chardrian’s Rebuy Tournament Strategy

Ok – this post is probably going to be coming in segments. Instead of posting my entire hand history, I’ve decided to post pertinent hands and discuss how they did or maybe did not go with my overall strategy.

First of all – a little background. I started really getting into rebuys less than 6 months ago. I have a fulltime non-poker job so I am not playing multiple tourneys a day. However, I am playing multiple tourneys a week. When I first started, I was one of those guys who bought in once and then treated it like a freezeout with a huge payout structure. My goal then was just to make the money. I have now seen the Idea. The goal for these tourneys now is to make the final table and win it all. To do this you need to be willing to rebuy immediately, rebuy twice if you get beat, rebuy twice again and buy an add-on – you need to be appropriately bankrolled. I think 7 total buyins is totally fine. If you luck out you will only need 3. Five is common. And seven also happens to be pretty common for me.

I have gone up to something like 15 when I just kept repeatedly taking bad beats, but this is not profitable (you basically HAVE to make the FT just to recoup your entries). So for me now, I will play loose as a goose for my first and second rebuys (4 total entries), I’ll then tighten up a bit when I rebuy again (for entries number 5-6), and I will rebuy once more after that but basically play tighter than tight. So 9 total rebuys is my new maximum.

Rebuys are freaky. The rebuy hour is total loosey goosey play. Focus and patience really are not extremely important during the rebuy hour. As soon as the first real hour begins, however, you need to become an extremely focused, patient, and well just a good poker player. These things last a long loooong time. If you can’t remain focused for 6 hours, you are going to be depending more on luck than skill. My biggest leaks were (and occasionally still are) becoming impatient and making that one big bonehead move that everyone else is waiting for you to make. What follows are some general ideas with some hands as examples. The word “general” is in bold for a reason. You can’t play a tourney by a book; you need to use your own style and your own reads. I have seen both very loose and very tight players do well. Watch how others at your table are playing, learn from that, and oh yeah have fun – I have been noticing how many other players lately really are not enjoying themselves. Although these tourneys do take a lot of focus, that does not mean you need to have a rod up your ass making your eyes go Shocked.

I’m trying to think of a few odds and ends that I would have found helpful: In general my major rebuy tourney is the nightly Paradise $30 Rebuy. I would say in general you are going to see somewhere around 200-250 hands before you make a final table. I will keep adding to this as I see fit.

REBUY HOUR

As others have already posted, the rebuy hour is basically its own separate tournament. Just a couple of months ago I thought it was an ok strategy to buy in once and just hope for the best. Although this can work occasionally, it is a really really bad strategy. You got to be bankrolled to take bad beats and rebuy again. The whole point of these tourneys is to make the final table – because if you do the payouts are huge.

In general I try to see as many hands as possible and I give myself as many outs as possible
