Default Re: Trying to improve my SNG game

ertrauma,
I'm sorry, but this is some very poor advice in my opinion. There's certianly nothing wrong with taking shots at higher levels once in a while, but to suggest playing $15 or even $10 SnG's when he's only played $1 SnG's is a recipe for failure.

Here's what I think for what it's worth...
You have been playing the $1 SnG's which has a very high % of rake (up to 20% depending on how many participants). You have $270 which is a nice healthy bankroll for the $3.40 9, 18, or 45-Man SnG's (Whichever you feel comfortable in). The Rake isn't nearly as bad as the $1's and if you lose 1/2 your bankroll (which is unlikely) you can always go back down to where you started.

I'm new to this forum but have been playing $5 and $6 SnG's for a few months now at a slight profit. So I'm no expert, but have managed to make a reasonable profit over a couple thousand games without ever busting.

If you want, send me a PM and I'd be glad to go over some of your Hand Histories and show yuo some leaks in your game. ;)
