Really does anyone here plays sng of one hand?? Why does it exist? I mean, play that it just random, luck or whatever... but if you want to win playing poker I think you should not play on that... It seems to be some people playing on those... I only played it once, but the cost was $0,02.- and no fees, price was $0.16 ticket. I didn't win... What do you think about those sit n go?
must be talking about a coinflip type of sit and go... Well as you said this is real gamble and not poker. Can be fun if you wanna gamble or one some site, the winner win an acces t a real tournament and sometimes you can win an entry to this tourney by paying just 1/10 of the buy-in.

sounds like the lottos they have on PKR everyone is insta allin, can be fun to watch some times but is just a lotto, could draw the winner from a hat, no poker playing is involved at all, just randomly picking a winner
On Party Poker, it's the only way I know of, of converting tournament $ into regular $, without actually playing a tournament or SNG, so you can cash out.
You still pay rake though, so it's a lousy way. I considered doing that when the PP software was not working properly with my account, a few months ago, but I found it to be too expensive, and the problems were eventually solved...

Never heard of that,....but if you were at 1 table and everybody shoved, and 1 person won the pot,....THAT would qualify as being 1 handed....
I've seen it happen before at a table I was playing at,...but it was tournament play and the whole table got wiped out,...and the one guy went on to another table I guess....

i don't quite see how can this be called poker? lottery, lotto, unshaved balls bonanza etc- that's more appropriate imo. well if they aren't raked (which is not the case in higher limits) - then you can look at them like a quick method of increasing your roll or going busto...sth similar to dropping a bet on roulette when not doing so good on the poker tables in the casino
i have played it a few times on 888 you are all in every hand so the games are real fast . i played heads up so i didnt even double up when i did win. i think it was 50c to play and winner got 90c it was fun when i won but then lost a fer in a row then i didnt like it

Hello, He is talking about WinnerPoker. it's a SNG sattelite to another sattelite to another sattelite for a 25k tourney. $0.02 buy-in , 8 entrants , 1 hand , 1 winner. I got 1 ticket 2 days ago, but i missed the tourney because it didn't said the hour of beggining or anything. And this is just shi*. I saw next day, my tournament history and played automaticaly with that ticket in a Tourney $0.15 + $0.01, Rebuy+Addon. And it's a very late hour, 02:30 EET or easier, 23:30 GMT the hour from BRM.

Posted by Peter7878: May be he wanted to say SNG with one table of 9 players.
Nop, actually those I'm saying are on WinnerPoker, and some in this post says there are also in PartyPoker, 888 and some other rooms... Are called "Flip SNG" and not only satellites, you can play paying up to $250 - $5 there are head ups, but also "multi way flip and go"
Yeah I have tried that before. But also only for a few cent. crazy to pay $250. It´s like playing roulette. it´s not like playing poker. I think it is gamblers who play these. Rich business men who have a lot of money. I don´t think you would play these if you wanted to build up a big bankroll.
