Default Single table vs. Multi

Looks like we have two related threads going on SNGs, both with some good posts. I wrote in the other one how I think that as you get close to the money, it is great time to steal from smaller stacks, as they are naturally afraid of getting knocked out on the bubble.

For me single table vs. 3 table is really a matter of how much time I'm prepared to dedicate to earning a return on a $5 or $10 dollar buy-in. I haven't found the level of play (at least on Party) varies much between the two, so it become an issue if I'm prepared to sit down and play for 90 minutes or if I’m hoping for some quicker cash - I find the Party single table SNG's rarely take more than a half hour.

If you place in the money on Party SnG's, it will take, on average, at least 45min - pushing to an hour for a win.

It all comes down to sometimes you can wait for the others to bust each other out. You just have to pick a spot and
make a move.

they key to winning the SNG's at party is to let the idiots bust themselves out early... if they get lucky and get a big stack, just get really agressive on the flop when you flop anything.... mid pair, even.... they'll call with nothing.

Default Party SNG madness

That's been my experience as well. That's also why I find that the $5+1 SNGs can be a short as 30 minutes to win. $10+1 -- or a more conservative $5 table -- can run longer.
