9-man vs 18-man SnGs
Assuming the same blind structure and rake, with payouts at 50/30/20 for the 9-man game and 40/30/20/10 for the 18-man game, which is more profitable for a good player?
I assume that the 18-man game wouldn't take that much longer, but that the necessary skew on talent would be that one would have to be much more adept at high-blind play (as there are usually 7-ish players left by high-blinds play) to money whereas in 9-man tables the play is pretty shorthanded (at the micros I play) by the time high-blind play ensues, not more than 5 players typically and pretty commonly just 4 players left. Given such, I think that one must have a somewhat more complete game at the 18-man, but does the 18-man compensate for such a skill advantage in your opinions? For that matter, how would your assessment be skewed based upon 9-man turbos vs 18-man turbos? |

I think it is mostly a personal matter, I make more money in the 18-man games, so they maybe softer or the end game maybe more suitable for my style, play 20 games of both and see what suits you most

Re: 9-man vs 18-man SnGs
I was going to say, I have played MORE than 20 games of both, but as I haven't played hundreds of games of the 18-man SnGs I really don't know what conclusion to draw. Theoretically I think the 18-man is likely more profitable (probably a bit more variance though), but I don't have the statistical evidence to back that up.
I suppose I am looking for both some further theoretical insight and perhaps some statistical evidence indicating which is the better profit venture. |

ROI should be higher in 18's but that doesn't necessarily mean your $/hour will be higher.
