Tips to Improve Your Profits in SNGs

 Here is an article with some basic tips on how you can maximize your returns from playing Sit'N'Gos online.

Bankroll Management

Probably the most important factor, keeping to the rules of bankroll management will prevent you from losing you entire bankroll. It's strongly suggested you only play in SNGs where you can afford over 35 buy-ins.For example if you want to play $10 entry fee SNGs you'd need a total bankroll of $350.  The reason this figure is so high is to cover variance and bad beats; and even the pros will tell you good play can't shield you from these happening.

Play at a Level Where You Get a Good ROI

Most poker players nowadays measure their success in MTTs and SNGs by checking their ROI (return on investment. This figure shows the average amount of money you make per game as a percentage of your total buy-in.It can be calculated by taking your net profit, divided by you buy-in fee, x 100 to give a percentage. Generally anything above 20% in an SNG is considered good. The important thing to make sure however is that if you're not earning a worthwhile ROI than you might be better off moving down a level. Likewise, if you're ROI figure is huge - such as 50% - then you're better off moving up the levels because a 50% ROI in $5 games will yield less than 30% ROI in $20 games for example. You need to find a balance between a healthy ROI and level of SNG that conforms with your bankroll to maximize your profits in SNGs.

Learn to Multi-Table

All the best pros in poker multi-table, and that's because it allows you to earn more money and play more games in a certain space of time. Although no one recommends jumping straight into the deep end of multi-tabling and buying a 30 inch monitor to play 10 tables simultaneously; you should at least take the time to practice playing at multiple tables to improve your profits. I suggest adding one table at a time and leaving it at that until you feel comfortable. Either way, the truth is most online poker players can handle 4-tabling with a few days experience in cash games and SNGs.

Take Advantage of Deposit Bonuses

Deposit bonuses reward players with free cash for every SNG game entered (you usually receive a percentage back of the buy-in). Considering this, SNG players should take advantage of deposit bonuses whenever they can in order to increase the money they make playing SNGs.
