Which SNG do you like best?

[Penguinfan]

As in number of tables? I am currently playing and doing fairly well in 3-table games a Poker Stars. I think they offer the best value since the 2-table games pay out to fourth place but are taking the money straight from the first place payout.

Take the 10+1 for example, in a single table you get $45 if you win, but in a 2-table game you get $72 and fourth place gets $18.

Second place is $27 in a single and $54 in a 2-table game (exactly twice as much).

Instead of getting twice as much for winning you are paying the 4th place person if you win, shouldn't they take a bit from each of the top 3 to pay the 4th guy?

Now in a 3-table game you get paid down to 5 and they do have a better payout structure with first getting $100

Jump up to a 5-table game and first is $136, only $36 more for battling two more tables, no thanks.

I think the 3-table games are a decent way to go.

Anyone here who is better with math and +/- EV tellme which is the best one for the money?

I think you are right. I sure do like those 20 table ones though...

i like the 5-table, 45-player SNGs by default, as they dont have larger fields for the buck SNGs on stars yet.

i already wrote them and begged them to give the 180-seater option on all buyin levels, and not just 20 and on up. that would be neat.

I completely agree. I played and won one of the $10 three table SnGs on Stars last week and the $100 payout was a nice return on the $10. I've actually won a couple of these ($10 and $5) and have found them to be pretty soft.

that makes perfect sense ... i never did a lot of those 3 tables sit n go

i'lll be doing one soon ... i like the short handed sit n go on pokerstars but theres only 12$ one

and the 180 players would be nice at 5 or 10$ buy in ....

I enjoy 27 player sit annd gos. But 9 players sit and gos are good to build your bankroll. I would play some 10+1 9 player sit and gos and when i cash play a 27 player tourney to reall imprve my bankroll.

180 person on Stars! That is my favorite. I like the style of the 9 person ones on Full Tilt. The ones on Stars just take too damn long.

i like the two table ones, people arent going all in as much at these as they are at the 45 prsn ones, and the winning prize money isnt all that bad either

im not sure, i like the small sngs. maybe the 9 player ones, because they are faster. but i like the large ones because of the larger pay-offs.
