flomo will become famous soon enough
suggest sticking to 2NL and skipping the SnGs
or do it the other way
if you must, do the $1

i disagree. at low limits you should play both cash and SNG and find out which one you enjoy and are most comfortable with

but learning both cash/SNG at the same time and interchanging them very often is probably not the best idea

well to be honest i think im better at sngs then cash, i played a session of sngs tonight, 11 1.20 9 man tournaments

placed 1st twice, placed second once and placed 3rd 4 times went one bubble twice, and busted twice

good session IMO

so i think im going to stick to grinding 1.20 9man STT's, then i can try for battle of the planets as well

don't learn SNGs first
cash is harder than SNGs

if you only learn SNGs you won't be able to play cash
in cash you play against full stacks and short stacks
in SNGs everyone has a short stack

if you have a deep stack you get to make more river decisions, which is the street that you have the most information on
in SNGs you'll never learn river or deep stack play since it's a shove preflop or on the flop
