New Hold-Em game advice

How is it goin guys? Do most people on this play cash and MTTs? Or would you play any other games?

I am just playin some 6max turbo sit n gos wanting to mix up my selection of games a little bit and wondering what the variance is like with them? How many BI do I need to play them? Or if I am used to playing 9max tables should I consider some 9max sit n gos rather than 6max?

It sounds like you mean "other Hold-Em games."
If not, then please say so.

I haven't bothered to check in a long while, but in general, the lowest variance Hold-Em game is FR cash game.
The general rule is that folding PRE is very low-variance; playing only winning hands is low variance.

The more players in the game, the more patient you must be for a "good" hand.
Playing tighter means that you're not putting your chips at risk with "speculative hands."

However, there's only so tight you can play, since the blinds force you to bet on "bad hands."

The more often the blinds hit your stack, the more hands you have to play. I'm sure you notice this in your SNG's.

***
If you are worried about variance, then stick to FR cash games.

The fewer the players at the table, the more hands you play.
The more hands you play, the higher the variance.

Ultimately it's playing hands that creates the variance.
Learn to make friends with the variance. After all, it's the fact that "bad" players can fool themselves into thinking they're "good" players that makes it possible for the game to be lucrative to the few players who are actually "good."

Yeah sorry, other NL Holdem games mate.

I don't see the point in learning any other games when I am tryin to learn NL Holdem. I just would like to add a bit of variety to my holdem games to avoid getting bored when constantly playing cash. So if I got bored playing cash I could go and play a few SNG for example to mix things up a bit and keep track of it.

What I was really wanting to know is how I could roll myself for SNG's, for example I could have 20/40+ BI for cash and ????? for SNG's

What do you roll yourself for SNG's to avoid going bust on a downswing?

FTR has a good bankroll management calculator. Just type in your bankroll and it will tell you want level is conservative and what's aggressive.

It's all a matter of the level of study you put into it. It can be hard to remember the reasons you started playing NLHE when you get deep into study of the game. It's nice to have a couple of similar games on the side that you merely dabble in, with no real goal other than to have fun.

Every poker game has similarities and differences to every other poker game.
Learning a new poker game will give you a greater understanding of the poker games you already know and love.

Don't push yourself into something you don't like, but there's no risk in creating a play money account on stars and playing some badugi or 2-7 triple draw, or 7-card stud.


Take all this with a grain of salt, if you like. I know the idea of playing poker with play chips is anathema to some people. I get that.
Home games of "dealer's choice" can be loads of fun.

I am kind of finding that studying NLHE deeply has taken a bit of the fun out of it and made it a bit stressful at times but it is still enjoyable for me to try and work out opponents.

I actually don't mind play money games I play the tournaments when I am bored, hungover or not focused enough to play cash and have about 10 mil in the account now. Will read about some of the other games and play a few tomorrow to see if I like any of them. I was looking into Omaha a little bit which is very similar to NLHE

This is pretty cool lol

Nice find.

Its seems you have already been answered. I have a doubt and it is the following: how many BI should I have for mtts? Something like 250-300? I guess it depends if its slow, regular, turbo or hyper right?
