Full tilt or Pokerstars for SNGs

[TxMaxx]

FT is much softer at the lower limits, I dislike their tables the software sucks and it can take time to get into a game. PS has better levels, better software but tougher players overall and you can get in a game instantly.

I sugest, you play at poker stars, at full tilt play too much fishes, but good luck, all dependes about your game..

Think I'd rather play fishes, this is where you make all the money. LDO!!!

I would defently choose full tilt over pokerstars for SNGs because on stars there is not a lot of low stake SNGs and full tilt has a wide variety of SNGs for you to participate in.

I think you are confused. Stars has way more SnG's and they fill way faster than the ones on Full Tilt.

I enjoy playing on ftp more. The games seem to be more interesting and the players are better. On pokerstars it seems in the initial stages everyone goes all in. Not much strategy there.

Again, you want to play against bad players. Why? Because you have an advantage over them!!!

Poker stars is pretty good for Sit n Goes purely because of the fact that you can FOLD even when you should check.
Also their sit and goes are more varied.

This Post makes no sense at all??? Why would you ever fold if you can check??


OP, Stars has a lot more SnG's and they fill quickly no matter what time of day. I suggest Stars for that reason and due to the fact the rake is a little lower.

My take. I say split your BR in half and deposit on both sites. On pokerstars with your $55 play 6 $5 double or nothing games. Playing 1 every other day. And on Full-Tilt it's your choice, cause they do have alot lower limit games.

For me, I like them both for different reasons, so, I play on both. Both sites are good, and a decent player should make money on both sites.

I like fulltilt for sit n' goes the blinds are structures are better.

Ignore this guy. PS has 10 min blind lvls vs FTP's 6 min. Turbos are 5 min vs 3 min.

If you're planning on playing micro SNGs, FTP with rakeback is waaaaaay better than PS.

There's another difference in the micro limit sitngos: on full tilt the way in wich the blinds advance is better distributed than on pokerstars. Playing on pokerstars i realized that because i was almost always on all-in situations when there was still many people in the game.

There's 10 min blind, yes but in the higher stages the jump is very high:
100/200(25 ante) 200/400 300/600,400/800 etc.

On stars the fold button is always an option. So if everyone checked to you, or you are first to act in a pot you can fold whenever you want. On Full Tilt, if it's checked to you or you are first to act. The fold button isn't an option. You can only check or bet. Which you should do, you should never fold when you can see a free card.

However, some people will play suited junk. Lets say they have suited hearts, like J2 of hearts or something stupid. They are in early position and limp. They are able to see the flop cheap. Now the flop come 3h Tc Ah. Now they have a flush draw. They check, guy in LP bets, they call, turn brings Qc. Again, they check, guy bets, they call. River brings 6d. They missed and if they check, the guy in LP could be confused and check. Then you would have to show that you called all the way to the river with J2 of hearts. So, on poker stars on the river you are first to act, you can fold, just like in a live game, you can fold at any time, doesn't mean it's the right move. On Full tilt, you would have to check and hope the guy in LP bets so you can fold.

So when someone folds out of position when they could check, you already know they are playing junk that missed the board or they where chasing a draw that missed. So folding when you can check doesn't really do you any good. Also lets say 2d came on the river instad of the 6d. Now you have bottom pair, you still think you are beat, but lets say you check, and the guy in LP figures you have an A and are going to call, while he was semi bluffing on a straight draw with KJ. Now if you check and he checks, you win the pot.

I'm not saying never fold when you can check. But, you should be checking 99.99% of the time instead of folding.
