9 tabling Party SNGs is probably harder than 12 tabling on Stars.

Why?

You have less time to act on Party. SNGs finish quicker so you need to reload them more often. The interface makes shoving a lot harder.

I always felt complete opposite, you have very very little time to act on Stars....I feel like you have much less than you had on Party, but maybe Im insane.

How many hours a week do you usually play? Is poker your full time job?

I'm guessing hands like k9, q10 are good if someone is constantly pushing into you in the small blind on Stars. Correct, Pudge?

[/ QUOTE ]
Ya for sure. Even wider, just for fun give everyone 10bb stacks and have sb pushing 100% in SNGPT see what you should be calling with.

What do you think of these hands?

Would you check or bet on the turn in hand 1?

Hand 1 preflop is really bad. Like so bad I don't know if anyone could play it profitably.
Check behind turn. You kind of need to kill such a gay raise, but you need to fold to anything else. Pot control is really important there.

Hand 2.
Bet like 6 on the flop and give up after this raise, read the example in Jmans Bluff article where he has 55 on a JdTd 2x board he can articulate it much better than me. As played fold river. What hand ever gets to that river as a bluff.

Auto time bank evens things out the bigger one is that typing in bet sizing and shoving is way easier on Stars so every action I make on Party takes longer, also sometimes the softwares goes nuts and I need to click fold or raise or call 453445 times than I go on tilt and break everything.

Student is a full time job. I never play. I would guess my average is something like 20hrs a week, but that counts one tabling MTTs while playing xbox and stuff.

In your sngicons video you said if there’s a limper, you can divide the pot by 1.5 to get the effective BB.
Therefore, if there’s a limper at 50/100, the pot would be 250/1.5 = 166 allowing us to push ~1600 chips w/ something like 88+, AJ+?

Do you recommend learning to play multiple types of games at the same time? I noticed that many of the sngicon guys are playing PLO now. Is that to avoid burnout? Or simply b/c sngs are getting too hard and not as profitable?

That is more or less the concept, although it is different with antes.
Lets say the blinds are 100/200/25 6 handed you have 1800 in the BB it's pretty clearly a shove any two

If the blinds are 75/150 and two guys limp leaving 525 dead in the pot and you have 1800 in the SB you shouldn't shove any two. The obvious reasons for this it that limpers ranges are tighter than the BB range and since they have a higher percentage of hands they will call more. Also since there are more people they will call more. Obviously one guy calling 5% is less likely to get called than three guys calling 5%.

The other issue is if pushing is marginal when you have 12bbs at 75/150 you will probably a find a better spot.

88+ AJ seems like a decent range in the example you gave although reads and position are very important and could easily change your range. Lets say guy who limps a lot limps the button.
I could shove something like 55+ A8+ KJ+ KTs QJs etc.

Getting good at multiple games can never be that bad. I know PLO is extremely profitable and if you are a good poker player and hand reader you can make a lot of money at PLO.
