That would be SnGs for me mate. I just think its a better value and if you manage your BR correctly you can really increase it, while on cash games one hand can mean all your roll, i dunno, cash games are a big gamble nowadays online, just like almost anything really LOLQuote:

For me SnGs. I better at them. I can deal with idiots in a SnG as its over fast, at a cash table you never know what your getting. SnG wise your in a structured gae, reads come in, values, placement, alot more stuff!!!!
I know if i play properly i shud win more than i lise SnG wise, a lot more i shoud hope, depending on the game im in.
I hate the fact u included MTTs there. Thats crazy!
One thing u did overlook was Heads-up. Both Cash and SnG.SnGwise im pretty decent at HU. Cah game not so much, i donate far too many chips preflop with J7suited and crap hands like that. HU SnG wise its all about having the chip lead. And keeping it, And as i love to make obscure level 1 plays, mixed in with weird *** personal moves, and the big moves that the little guys never read right, and i always lose.
Yeah MTTs are NOT a way to build bankroll, just a way to sustain it if you are a good player and already have a huge bankroll
Sit n go's, hands down!
$1/$2 and $2/$4 cash games by far out in my hours and usally up not much of tournament player but do play occasionally a guranteed but will NEVER play rebuys
I would have to SNGS for me as my bankroll management with cash games is horrid
Id say i hate rbeuys too, but ive only played like 5 and i won one... so who knows
sng's for me but heads-up is a great way too!:D
I seconds that :)Quote:

I hear that, heads up can cut out the collusion. That one kid from italy plays heads up for like 5g's
collusion? Huh??
I assume he means the possibility of collusion.Quote:

I went from almost nothing to a decent roll by playing these on absolute a couple of years back.
Good idea klink, the only issue I got with the $1+r MTTs is the fact of the donkament it turns out to be too with all the other people who can afford infinite rebuys LOLQuote:

In addition, I think rebuys take away from the game but can add to your roll if you play the right limits. If it's working for you, keep going!Quote:

You have to love the game first..... Let the money build.
Well, I love it all, do it all when I can too LOLOLOL
That's the first key to success. The second is Bankroll management. In whcih I'm still working on.
