| Ive been playing for a few months now mostly No Limit Sit n Go table tournments and multi table tournaments. I do fairly well in the single table tournaments, won a few, 2nd a bunch of times. I never placed in the money in a mutlitable tourney. Held top 10 for a few hours but got crushed on a couple bad beats. Should I spend more time at the No Limit money tables or continue to just play tourneys? I figure the most im gonna lose in the tourney is the buy in. | ||

| If you want to get a better prospective of how the game works in general. I would recommend playing just single tables, but don't get me wrong playing in tournaments is great and all, but you can learn things on single table were you can't learn in a tourny. Now that also swings both ways. Playing single table games and playing in tournaments the game is not the same. Kind of like limit and no-limit. Honestly the the best way to have fun, make some money, and enjoy poker is sit at a table where you feel comfortable. | ||

| no limit ring games put you susceptable to huge swings. If you aren't comfortable with that, i would suggest sticking with the sit n go's and tourneys. and if you ever wanted to, you could take the winnings from a tourney, and try it out at a ring game. remember tho, play where your confidence is, if you don't feel confident, or you play at a ring game with scared money, you will most certainly walk away with nothing or losing confidence in your game. I like the tourneys, cuz I know how much money I'm gonna be out before hand. tourneys require more luck than ring games because they are short term. If you are just beginning are playing low buy in tourneys, you will gain much valued table time experience at a minimal cost. good luck Officially Licensed Dude | ||

| Pretty good results. Which type of game you should play is a good question. As I read your question, it occurred to me that in your situation (Started playing a few months ago ...) your question should be "What should I do - or play - to improve as a player and make my results even better?" IMO after a few months of play, working on the general quality of your game will yield real benefits (think $$$) in the long term. Weeding out bad plays from your game early before they become "bad habits" will really help. To my hypothetical question above, I would recommend you play both types of games while reading a few critical poker books (Theory of Poker for one ...) and applying what you learn. Multitable tournaments have multi-table dynamics, such as the general playing ability of the players increasing as the field is narrowed, to take into account. Enjoy the game, compete well, and I wish you the best luck in the future. I sidetracked your direct question, sorry, but hope you can use another opinion. flintsword | ||
