    Yeah sorry, other NL Holdem games mate.

    I don't see the point in learning any other games when I am tryin to learn NL Holdem. I just would like to add a bit of variety to my holdem games to avoid getting bored when constantly playing cash. So if I got bored playing cash I could go and play a few SNG for example to mix things up a bit and keep track of it.

    What I was really wanting to know is how I could roll myself for SNG's, for example I could have 20/40+ BI for cash and ????? for SNG's

    It's all a matter of the level of study you put into it. It can be hard to remember the reasons you started playing NLHE when you get deep into study of the game. It's nice to have a couple of similar games on the side that you merely dabble in, with no real goal other than to have fun.

    Every poker game has similarities and differences to every other poker game.
    Learning a new poker game will give you a greater understanding of the poker games you already know and love.

    Don't push yourself into something you don't like, but there's no risk in creating a play money account on stars and playing some badugi or 2-7 triple draw, or 7-card stud.


    Take all this with a grain of salt, if you like. I know the idea of playing poker with play chips is anathema to some people. I get that.
    Home games of "dealer's choice" can be loads of fun.

    I am kind of finding that studying NLHE deeply has taken a bit of the fun out of it and made it a bit stressful at times but it is still enjoyable for me to try and work out opponents.

    I actually don't mind play money games I play the tournaments when I am bored, hungover or not focused enough to play cash and have about 10 mil in the account now. Will read about some of the other games and play a few tomorrow to see if I like any of them. I was looking into Omaha a little bit which is very similar to NLHE
