I find SnGs to be the “slow steady” route, whereas MTTs are “faster” route. Not to be egotistical, I expect to cash in 80% of SnGs play’d ( unless I’m playing for a promo LB ). ( basically try’n 2win ) To me its the safest way to grow your bankroll, albeit very slowly… A standard 9 person SnG is really a 3 in 6 chance to cash… Usually there’s always 2-3 donks @ the table… Its basically a “final table” but everyone’s stacks are equal… You need variance before ppl’s stacks are exploitable, and if someone else is on fire… let them bust everyone else, and take your chances HeadsUp, even severely shortstacked.
Obviously, the higher the stakes SnG, the fewer (hopefully) the donks… Its actually less of a turbo than a MTT kinda is, because you’re already @ the final table ( so to speak ) with “some” room to manuver, before its shortstack-ship-it time…
