Multi-tabling 3.40 sng's for profit?

[Urbain XIV]

4-tables at a time, playing at least 25 a day. What would a good ROI be, and how much should I have before I start doing this? I was thinking around $200. Does anyone else play the turbo's in high volume? What can I expect here? I've played lets say....around 100 on various sn's. I basically play ultra TAG and am almost all-in nearly every hand where I have tptk. I'm mostly into cash, and hear about how profitable sng's are. So, I've been reading HOH and am hoping to put up some good results.

if you ahve $200 why not play the $6s?

I only played a few 3.4's, but i thought they were a bit easier then the 6.5s. The 6.5's are not much of a change, but once you build up your br a little bit i would start playing there.

Hmm potential earnings per hr in cash games is much higher, and so is the ceiling. People play SNGs because they are easy to megatable and fairly mindless compared to a cash game.

20% ROI is very good and 50 Buyin roll at least and you are up and running, good luck

well, yeah, cash games are pretty much more money, BUT, i also want to learn mtt's, and i want to start by playing the sngs. true, i can probably make more money playing cash (1/2, 2/4 limit, variety of games) but i want to eventually be able to play the 20-30 dollar sngs and 5/10 limit by end of next year. in my (very short) expierience of playing sngs, they are much much easier to multitable than cash, where i think its played more seriously. well, hopefully i can make some money playing the 3.40's. are the 2 and 3 table turbo sngs as profitable as just the regular one table sngs? thanks for the help.

Am I alone in finding that trying to multi table around 4 SNGs when you are short handed is more difficult than playing cash games? Even when you stagger your starts, if the heads up lasts a while, you can soon be down to 4 and under in each game and its hard work.

[Gelford]

Everything becomes easier with experience Bradley, after a while shorthanded sng play also becomes robotic to an extent. Blind are usually high and it is a push/fold game

I used to have difficulties playing more than 4 tables at a time. But now I 12-table easily - autohotkey, a bigger monitor, bubble trainer, and LOADS of hours spent with SNG-PT helped with that. And that's not staggering.

If you're rolled for the $6.5s play there. Very soft competition. Oh yeah, and buy SNG-PT if you haven't yet.

I guess your talking about the $3.40 Turbos at PokerStars? I started there about two weeks ago with $50 and was 4-6 tabling these. I played about 170 with only an ROI of 8% pretty rubbish but its a small sample size. I was also getting a lot of 3rd places ---> 19/20/26 something I need to look into and maybe you might to is turning 3rds into 1st as this greatly increases your ROI. Once I worked their $50 bonus off I moved up to the $5.50 NL Sngs the standard ones not turbos. I figured this would give me a better chance to out play my opponents rather than having to push marginal hands due to the blind increase. I've played about 110 with ROI 12% (again small sample will post after 500 or so) my avg finish is 4.0 so I might need to work on bubble play, also not suprising is my number of 3rds! 12/16/21 thats a ITM 45%. Any how I'm at about $210 now so its climbing slowly. At about $250 I will probably hit the $10 SNGs.

One more thing I hit my worst run of 11 Sngs out of the money!! so expect variance to come bite you just keep doing what your doing.

PS: All these stats are from my PokerTracker database I suggest you get it. I'm currently searching for holes in my game and its great.

I don't have SnGPT but have looked at it, I think this will be my next purchase and maybe yours to?

Good Luck and see you at the tables.
