I like playing the $1.10 to $5.50 -45 player SnG's at Carbon, but since they upgraded their software they still have some debugging going on. Other then that it really isn't a bad place to play. It seems the donks hang in the $1.10 - 18 player SnG's or I'm just unlucky at that level.

The P.okerstars SNGs you're talking about take about 2 - 2 1/2 hours for turbo ones. Roughly 4 hours for the normal speed ones. I'd advise the turbo ones as they're pure donkfests. I'd say for SNGs its PS because there is practically no waiting time.

I can say, with 100% certainly - with the exception of some of the really small sites/networks.. It is almost impossible to find a worse SNG site the PKR.
On the other hand- PKR MTTs often run with 30-200 runners. Being an aussie - a lot of the games I play end up with around on 50 runners

24hPoker has a good range of SnG’s and i believe you would be able to play lots of them in 1h30. They usually lasts for 15-20 minutes max, so if you play four at the same time, you will be playing 16 to 20 in 1h30. GL! The place is nice in terms of population, and you won’t get troubles in finding partners to play against you there.

the best site for sng's is the one where you are winning that's it, there is nothing more to consider. unless you like to lose, or you play just for fun (as it is modern to say now in gambling business- you are a "recreational player" if this is not the case- just look around at your stats

If you're going on noonlion stats forget about it lol - I'm a different player.
But yeah sure a site where you win is great which is the case now.
However, I'm not able to get enough games because there's not enough SNG traffic.
Sure I'm recreational just now, I don't have time (mainly due to G/f and job hunting) but when I have time I'm not playing for the sheer hell of it, I'm playing for ROI - the fact I love playing is a bonus.)
Cheers for input guys.
Isn't Carbon a bit dodgy for withdrawals and identity requests etc??

I'm also a big fan of SNG's , pokerstars offers the biggest variety in Sng tournaments , from Hu games , 9 player tables , 18 , 27 , 45 , 90 , 180 bla bla . I suggest u avoid any sng under 1 $ , cause it's a waste of time ( not a big fan of bankroll management ) , if you want sng under 1h 30 m , then I suggest the 45 player turbo sng . I've built in 3 days a bankroll from 15 $ to 450 $ .... soo for me Pokerstars is the best . P.S. I've played the 0.50 , 0.10 $ , sng's , and it literally gave me headaches , so screw bankroll management at micro stakes . Good Luck!

Yeah no danger I'd be playing $0.50 SNG's! Full of donks no doubt and I can turn a profit at a much higher level.

PS,and its not even close. A standard 45 man turbo takes 1h15min tops,dunno where ppl are coming from saying they take 2.5hrs lol. Obviously rakeback is low unless you can rake enough to get at least platin,but depending on the number of tables u are able to play,your volume is much,much higher too

Best by far is ONGAME. SnGs are so soft its crazy... 10% rake so thats cool. Way better then on stars cause on Stars even on 3.5$ you can find grinders who know how to play.

Ongame has bots and a software that doesnt allowe you to grind (play many tables) properly without having a high-end computer at least. MTSNGs (thinking of the 30 mans) open up waaaay slower than similar games on stars too. IMO making $3.50 SNGs or even lower stakes even worth your time you have to have the possibility to put in proper volume (and I'm not talking about just 20 games or so per day),so the software & traffic part is by far most important @ these stakes,making stars by far #1 to grind such stakes

I was talking about 90 man ones.
Never seen a 90 man turbo running for longer than like 1h45min tops either,havent played them for a year or so anyways though,45s are the way to go either way(over 90s at least)
if this is not the case- just look around at your stats
