I've recently switched formats from cash games to sit n goes, I liked cash games because it suited my lifestyle. I could sit and play when I had some free time and then leave at any time when I needed to. After grinding somewhere in the region of 100k hands my minuscule bankroll had not really changed, it had spiked up and down numerous times and my win rate was a poor 0.45 bb.
Several weeks ago I decided to try a different format, not tourneys as they still take to long, but full ring sit n goes, it's still early days but I've probably played in the region of 50 sit n goes. (I'll play 2-3 every day, more if I can) About 70-80% double or nothing and the remaining 20-30% would be regular sngs with a larger prize for the winner. While im still technically playing the same game the dynamic is totally different and also something i seem to be much better at! I seem to be winning or cashing in about 2/3 of games. Has anyone else made this transition after poor cash game results? Or found success in one format of poker after poor results in another? I would be interested,
As i said it's still probably to early to tell as inevitable variance may be playing a big roll here, I might report back in a week or two!
