Hey guys
Ive moved to carbon and am currently testing the software to see if I should move to there or cake next. I heard cake is softer and has more bonuses and better rake back although Carbon has better software so Im not sure. Anyway, I was hoping to ask the winning players how they found their winning game.
I honestly don't know if Im a decent player or not. I know the strategies and play tight but never do well in the SnGs. Despite sticking religiously to proper bmr and proper SnG strategy in the micros (playing tight, no limping, shove/fold at the bubble), I get killed (went from $100 down to $13 on the $2 SnGs on FT). I pretty much took a long break from poker then.
I started back up on poker again after hearing about FT's Take Two. During that time, I tried out rush poker and did really well. Playing at the lowest stakes .02/.05, I was able to move my bankroll from my measly $13 up to $35. I made $22 in 11 days. (Not as good as the pros but for a losing player like me, it was amazing). Now that FT is shut down, Im thinking of moving to another site but dont know if I should pursue cash or tourney. Even playing the freeroll SnGs on Carbon, I cant seem to win consistently even against the donks (I often get sucked out and just lose my stack. I just lost to A2o with AKo with shoves preflop and I knew the guy was shoving light).
Since I wait for cards and really play with top ten starting hands or so and can really consider pot odds with cash, I find it to be a better game for me. However, Ive been studying SnGs throughout my poker career and know that cash requires different skills from tourney. I do know that some players are just suited to one game over the other (look at Phil Helmuth. Not the best cash but probably one of the best if not the best tourney player). I was hoping to ask how did you winning players find out what your game was? Should I switch over to cash?
