How much time did it take to complete the tourney??? I've been looking them, but have stayed away.

I would rather play a 3 table SNG.

It took about 2 hours, but everyone was playing EXTREMELY tight. The blind structure got up to 1500/3000 which for most people was about 1/5 of their stack. I would say it would pbably take about 90-120 minutes to make it through one in the money.

I have been peeking in on these. Seems like it's down to about 27 by first break, and they're winind up withing a 10 minutes or so, plus or minus 2 hours.

Hopefully i'll be done with this sinus medication by tomorrow and i can see past my nose to what the cards are. LOL.

what is your strategy for this new SNG structure??? Do you play it like one big ol' SNG? I might try one later tonight while multi-ing a regular SNG. Did you make the money?

I'm a little worried that several MTT specialist will invade this game, because of less competition (90 plr vs 500++.)

JS13, it's nice to see Georgia ppl in cyber space. Good luck with the 90 plr sng's and get better.

Well... You kind of have to play it like a MTT only you can play a lot tighter since you only need to have about 9000 to make the final table comfortably. That's doubling up twice (1500-3000-6000) and then playing solid poker and picking off the short stacks. You don't have to race nearly as much and you can pick your spots. Around the bubble it plays ALOT like a MTT though. So those skill sets definitely come in handy. But the pay outs arent as big that it would be worth a MTT players time except at above the $11 level.

I am no MTT specialist, but I played a $1 90 player SNG the other day and won it. It took about 110-115 minutes to complete, and was a lot of fun. It plays a lot like a MTT around the bubble, although there are no antes, so stealing pots preflop isnt as profitable. Things are very wild and loose in the beginning, so you should sit back. Once it gets closer to the bubble, the best way to pick up large pots is to come over the top of people when you think they are weak. This way you can avoid a lot of confrontation, only having to steal every once in a while, and continue to grow your stack.

I have played 2 $5+.50 90 man SNG's and I love them! I placed in 6th on my 1st one for $27 and I won the 2nd one for $144. Absolutely the best addition by far!!! I wish they kept the 90 man $10+1, but I understand why they made them 45 man. I registered for them 2 days in a row and they never went past 30 people registered. Yesterday I played in a $10+1 45 man and placed 19th after the guy went runner runner for a straight. I do with they kept the $10+1 45 man Double Stack, like the 90 man were. The Double Stack would make up the difference in 45 man and 90 man. So if the Full Tilt Support Staff reads this, make the $10+1 45 man SNG's Double Stack!

The reason we dropped the double stack from the $10 one was the majority of the feedback we were getting indicated people looked to these multi-table SNGs for the feel of a MTT but with a much smaller time commitment. The double stack on top of that concept just confused the issue.

Thanks for the feedback, we're glad you're enjoying the new multi-table SNGs!

good grief.

I ran into the 2 luckiest players alive today in two of the $1. The second one was ridiculous. min raise the BB every hand, hit almost every flop. Calls off major portions of their stack with J2o all in, hits a straight, K4o all in, flops a boat. Finally I'm down to about 6x BB and see pokcet 7's. Open push, who calls but the luck sack, holding AA, and flops an A. If I had raised, they would have reraised obviously, but come on. The amount of suckouts they had was off the wall.

no, online poker isn't rigged. I'm just amazed at how some players can make some of the calls they did.
