Posted by CALICUL: It does not matter at what stakes you play these sng games. What matters is games with a commission of 20% which is not normal. Most players lose and how you want to make a profit if the poker room perceives such a percentage? I think these games should have a percentage of 4%. This is an acceptable commission because the sng are not tournaments.

I mean to the fact that it's hard to play 20 sit and gos in every day and the commission is very high. Each player tries to make a profit and this fee for each game is aberrant, in a game which takes up to an hour and a little or less. I think these games should be charged less. It does not matter that they are as a tournament. Big fee...

I've noticed these games and it's not like you say. on the contrary SIT and GOs are more expensive than MTTs in many rooms. Something changed of approximate 1-2 years and the commission is higher. Unfortunately this thing make it like players to leave these tables. The situation is not pink.
today I won $ 3 in freerolls ... after that I decided to play sit and go ... the results were different ... I played one dollar each .... but in the end everything came to a natural result ... the money ran out. .. haha ... I often have this happen ... But still I love to sit and Go

Money earned in freeroll games they are lost very quickly. Cases where you manage to create a bankroll with them are rarer. If you play tournaments or sit and go with that money, you do not have much chances but if you play cash, then you can create something.

Yeah Calicul, i think that way too these days, i think you can make more on cash games then SNG, i used to be a SNG guy but now im moving more to cash games, in cash games you can control more the damage to your bankroll, so i say go cash games
cash game I do not really like ... although I had cases when I won quite a lot ... once there was a case when I went up from $ 40 to $ 500 per night ... but I still like to play sit-end -Gow than cash games ... it's more interesting for me to play when I can lose a fixed amount

You have the same opinion with our friend Maragatero. I have not seen him for a few days and i hope he's healthy. I like cash games because i can create a small bankroll faster than with sit and go. I like tournaments because there you have the chance to make money. In sit and go games this is very difficult. Maybe for you it's better.

Hellow! I come back to a short holiday and I´m fine (but with 4 kg more!). Now I will return to the tables and now I come back with my friends. I think like pajalnick, in S&Gs you only can lose fixed money (the buy-in) and, if you have a skill enough, you can make money playing in multitable mode. I love Sits and Mtts!
today is Saturday and a lot of tournaments for levels and other freerolls on 888.... I won a little money in some of them .... now I have the opportunity to play sit and Go and maybe increase my bankroll ... or maybe lose everything ... maybe anything in this game ... good luck me at the tables

888 sometimes succeeds to hit with the baseball bat in the lake. Saturday and Sunday are two very bad days to play freerolls here on 888poker. These days should be for tournaments with real money. MTTs are perfect for these days and for sit and go you can play during the week when you have less time available.

If you playing tournaments it's normal for you to playing sit and go s because that's way you practising finale table on multi table tournament. Just dont mix it with cash. Like I do. Its not payable.
Yesterday I won in freerolls A little more than 2 dollars ... and began to play one dollar in tournaments sit-and-go ... rose to $ 5 ... I decided to immediately play for $ 5 ... and of course this decision was wrong. .. $ 5 lost and again at the beginning ... haha

You follow your bettor´s heart, but it takes you for a bad path... I think that you like to mix your two passion: poker and betting. I save of that because I fear to bet, so I only try to play poker managing my bankroll. So I only play at the next level with 60/100 BI. You can make a shot sometime, but not every time

Up to level 60 you need to reach level 50 my friend, because here are one freeroll per week for this level, but this is not very important. The most important thing it's like you to play many sit & go games and with your profit to play a few mtt and maybe you can do it what did you propose ( $500 per month). Good luck with that

Thank CALICUL my friend, your wishes are my goal! But I lost my energy, or my conviction, or my desire. In my work, I found a way to delay the time to retire. So, the urgency is ended, and I may find other good things to spend my time. Or this thought comes because I´m tired and bored with the study of the game. I have to think about it....

I hope you make the best decision in this case. Each player should adapt to the games who like the most. Me now i'm returning to pokerstars to play their little tournaments and to remember lost moments in the past years. I played too much there and i hope that i will play with more success.
I agree, of course, that you need to play on the basis of your bankroll .... but sometimes there is a situation when you enter Tilt ... and here you already begin to play on such bets that you cannot afford .... sometimes it makes excuses ... but more often in tilt state you lose everything

These situations happen and you have nothing to do except that you can make decisions. You can not hypnotize the players to play as you like but in the MTTs games is the best way to make many money if you win a tournament. If you play sit and go the profit is very insignificant.
