It seems to me like these are the easiest to cash in because the play is way more consistent. In these at least you can get a feel for all the players in the tournament. People are much tighter, and won't play ridiculous flops, plus your odds are just better. However, you are never safe as you can't get to big a lead. Overall though i cash way more in these than in multi-tables.

Try the double up ones at certain sites be patient wait for ur hand and half the field get paid now thats simple usually play 2 or 3 at once to make it not so boring .

Sounds likke a reasonable bet, I play sng's too when the BR is lagging on any sites. A sure bread and butter game when you are used to playing over 100 people and it gets cut backk to 9 players. Ten handed double up games would be an easier accomplishment as I regularly get down to final 3 and just makke the 3rd money when a dubb up game would have paid me slightly more for a ITM.

There are many sites with Sit and Go's that payout more than the usual three; Stars, Bodog, etc. I like to play these for all the reasons previously mentioned (above). I just started playing the Steps format sit and go at UB (Ultimate Bet) for 10+1 cents entry. If you finish in the top 2 you advance for free to the next level. If you place 3 or 4 you stay at same level and there is no entry fee. This goes up to level 10 where there is a great prize for the top two. When you bust out in 5th or lower you start all over again at level one and a 11 cent entry. Great site and price to improve your game! As you reach the higher levels you play against better and better players.

Sng's are defintatley a good way to get the feel for the game i like to play them because if u know what your doing and te buyin is small you shold place at least 60% of he time i usually place more often that that but the play isnt too bad and its always good to meet new poker buddys throughout the site

Agreed! those are definitely one of my favorite tourney types, I cash about 75% of the time in them. Also, try MTTs where a respectable percentage gets paid the same prize, like a tournament entry. On full tilt there are quite a few tourneys running for 2+.20 or less that will get you 22 tournament dollars if you place in the top 30-70...wait and register late so the all-in idiots are already out of the game and the field will likely be only 100 people and wait VERY patiently for premium hands before you go for your double up (which many times will be enough to cash!)

I would agree with you that Sngs are good way to build the cash... Its also very stable when compared to MTTs...But MTTs willl give u a big boost to ur bank roll than u can expect with Sngs...

Yeah , you are right BUT in MTT's you have to play very well in order to have a big cash in.In SNG's is very easy to cash in.
