1$ sngs are EXTREMELY fishy. when im down in money, i 4 table it and i almost always win one. If your lucky enough to get AA KK QQ in the early stages, you surely double up, see triple up. In the later stages, they're usually less fishy(blinds scares them) but 80% of em are really bad.

Limit 0.01/0.02 is also very fishy but thats really boring poker(1 hour of play to win 1$ is not always fun). But the safest way to start out if you have very minimal BR is: Win 1.20 at pennie and then go give a shot to a SNG. You will end up winning one.

The 5+5 sng are from my experience a lot less fishy. Theres usually 1-2 solid player, 5-6 decent players and a few fishs. But thats a lot funner to play these than the 1$ ones cuz its actually poker. Its not rare that u get dealth AA, raise 4x BB just to see the whole table fold. They're fun but if ur objective is to make money its maybe not the easiest way(note that it varies, theres sometimes no fish and sometimes 5-6 fish).

If your good at heads up, i really like the heads up SNG. Theres around 30% fish(easy win), 20% good(hard win but u can break even there), 30% maniac(hmmm if ur not cold decked theyre easy...otherwise its frustrating) and the rest are decent players(u can beat them like 60-70%).

Those % are just from my experience(i play LOTS of them). They also gives u major FFP and u pay lot of rakes.

My advice would be aim toward what ur good what. Ur good at limit? quad table 10/20
Ur good at Ring? i would stick to 0.04 for a while, cuz 10 Nl has a lot of swings.
Ur good at HU? then play it but make sure u got a good 80-90(or more) bankroll.
Ur good at SNGs? just play the 1.20, or the turbo 1.75, people are real bad over there.


Basicelly its better to quad table 1.20 than single table a 5$ SNG. If your very confident in your skills go ahead for the 5$ but i would begin with 1$.

Hope it helps
