brm question

[smitts187]

if i am playing 2nl, when i play a sng should i be playing a BI of 2$ so that its basicly the same? or the 1$ ones to double available BI's??

[flomo]

suggest sticking to 2NL and skipping the SnGs
or do it the other way
if you must, do the $1

[smitts187]

can i ask why i should stick to a particular game?

[speedcake]

cause it's harder to be good at both without at least first being good at one?



imho :P

i disagree. at low limits you should play both cash and SNG and find out which one you enjoy and are most comfortable with

but learning both cash/SNG at the same time and interchanging them very often is probably not the best idea

[smitts187]

well to be honest i think im better at sngs then cash, i played a session of sngs tonight, 11 1.20 9 man tournaments

placed 1st twice, placed second once and placed 3rd 4 times went one bubble twice, and busted twice

good session IMO

so i think im going to stick to grinding 1.20 9man STT's, then i can try for battle of the planets as well

don't learn SNGs first
cash is harder than SNGs

if you only learn SNGs you won't be able to play cash
in cash you play against full stacks and short stacks
in SNGs everyone has a short stack

if you have a deep stack you get to make more river decisions, which is the street that you have the most information on
in SNGs you'll never learn river or deep stack play since it's a shove preflop or on the flop
