Default Re: Future of sng\'s online?

i agree with FF that sngs arent REAL poker, and thats all i play. Its more like an offshoot of the game with several twists that make correct strategy way less intuitive and more mathematical.
Im pretty sure any good sng pro would feel this way. Cash game is the truest form of poker because $EV = CEV and because you can rebuy as much as you want. No BS blind changes and things, just straightforward balls-in-your-mouth, poker.

Poker is poker. The difference between $EV and cEV doesn't change the game. It just changes the way that we measure expectation. Blind changes just change our strategy to reflect smaller stack sizes and more dead money in the pot.

You still have to get in your opponents' heads and make reads, which is what makes the game poker.
