Thanks to Merlin I signed up on the Instant Bankroll at Party Poker and just finished my 500 raked hands so all the money is now mine. Sweet.
Now I was wondering where the best money was at? For my raked hands I would play the $0.50/$1.00 Limit tables and while I started with $75, I was only up to $100 at the end. So in 500 raked hands I made a mere $25.
My younger brother also did the Instant Bankroll and finished with roughly the same amount as I did after completing the raked hands. But immediately after the raked hands were done he started playing SNG's and his bankroll is now a whopping $500.
Now my brother is twice the poker player I am, but I tried the $5+$1 SNG and have finished in the money 4 out of 5 times. So this seems to work for me as they only take about 90 hands (roughly an hour) to complete, but I would like to know what everyone else feels is the best way to make money.
Should I be sticking to cash games or SNG's? If it is SNG's, which buy-in would be the best? Each one offers the winner 5X the buy-in at Party Poker, but I would like to play the largest buy-in that still has weaker players. I would think the games tighten up as the buy-in goes up but so far my brother has not noticed much of a difference between the $5 and the $30.
Any thoughts?
