What site to play SNGs on?

[Joke]

Can anyone rate some sites you have played on? Fishrate, blind/stack size and so on. Im mainly playing 1-tabel 10handed "normal speed" sngs at primapoker. Is there better sites?

Same with about everything. If you want to improve your game and learn how to beat good players (and learn how to play more aggressively), play on Poker Stars. If you want to play against fish, which'll be more profitable on the short term but its not going to improve your play much against good players, play on Party.

Although the stacksize and blind rate is better on Poker Stars as well. I recommend it to everyone, unless your main objective is to play against fish. Not that there aren't any complete fish on Stars either, but its much more rare to get a table full of them.

I was on my way to make a deposit on Stars for a cuple of months ago, mainly for MTTs, but then a friend told me that there was to many good players there so I waited and made a Primapoker and a partpoker acc. I will probably try Stars soon! Whats the "start" stacksize and blinds on Stars? And how fast does there "normal" game dubbel blinds?

[|~|ypermegachi]

stack sizes are 1500, i'm not sure about the blinds but i know they go up slowly.

most games take a little over an hour to finish. on party most are done in 45 minutes.

Blinds go up every 15 min in normal SNG and MTT, 5 min in turbos.

btw, if u join stars stay away from the ring games ... they are very tough. The SNGs are not too hard. The MTTs arn't that bad either, the rebuys can be a very good deal.

I find that if you basically camp cards in party sngs you can probably crush them if you are a decent player. On stars turbos you have to play much more aggressively because the blinds rise so fast, and a lot of the time it ends up as a crapshoot with 2-3 players left. Stars normal sngs seem probably the best if you want to improve your game, because they nice starting stacks + small blinds allow you to rely on your game more to build your stack instead of sheer luck.

The turbos are skill based too, but obviously require a lot more aggression. I prefer the turbos largely because they're less rock friendly and you'll get people to pay off your monsters a lot more. With the high buyin ones the players are still almost all pretty tight (about calling big bets, not neccesarily what cards they bet with), so stealing the bigger blinds, due to it being a turbo, is often very protifable as well.

Although my least favorite thing about the regular SNGs, which is them being rock friendly, probably isn't as much of a problem in the lower buyin ones as there should be more fish that just love to call with less than you're betting with.

By the way, the blinds actually go up every 10 minutes in the regular ones.

[TheDoc]

Ya I definately agree there, I do real well in the turbo sngs until it becomes bubble time when the blinds are high, it just feels like a lot of the time it deteriorates into a crap shoot.

Blinds go up every 15 min in normal SNG and MTT, 5 min in turbos.

Blinds go up every 10 minutes in normal PokerStars SnGs, not 15.

It's the MTTs where the blinds go up every 15 minutes.

Ok ... Im an idiot

You know what's interesting, is that I do significantly better at PokerStars SNGs than Party. Plus I do well at the only game I know with all good players, The FTR guantlet. So I am beginning to suspect that I play a better tourney vs. better players. They are more predictable.

[thenonsequitur]

I used to play SNGs solely at PartyPoker, but recently I've been having a lot more success at InterPoker. I think this is for a reason along the lines of what zenbitz was saying. The people at InterPoker have a lit bit more of an understanding of the game, and thus are much more predictable. But they're still weak and passive enough to beat. So I can still run them over but now I suffer fewer bad beats and am more confident in my reads.

Any comments on Pokerroom? I have been playing there exclusively , mainly in the MTT and freerolls, and have been improving my game and enjoying it.
