$2+.20 SnG's at Ultimate Bet

[nUFamn]

Some questions pertaining to this level of SnG, and UB in general...

Does UB seem easier to beat than other rooms? I threw $100 on the other day, and after playing micro-micro stakes ($.01-.02) just to get my bearings with their interface and stuff, I started playing the $2 SnGs. I've gotten 1st place 4 times in the last two days, and got 3rd in a $5 SnG also. So, 5 cashes in 5 attempts.

I think I'm on one of those variance upswings... scary shit. I'm just waiting to drop down from it. It feels like I get a lot of cards, but I think I've also just been more patient, and know when to throw the cards away when I'm losing. Those two attributes, plus catching an all-in-donk here and there early on with strong hands, have made UB almost like shooting fish in a barrel the past two days.

^^^ That statement makes me know that it's variance.

I play the $5.50 level currently on UB but I have played the 2 in the recent past. When I started making the $$ almost every time I moved up. The good news is that the 5.50 is no harder than the 2.20. If you're beating the 2 and have the roll I'd move up asap. I've also played the $20 a few times and it is a noticeable difference, although I actually cashed the first one I played (2nd). You're right about the Allin donks, lots of villians get barely below 1k chips in the first 3 levels and start looking for a place to push . Very little understandin of M at this level on UB.
Good luck

Yeah ive found the key to them ($2 SNG on ub) is paitence.
Its almost guaranteed that one of those donks will stick all their money in with top pair-rag kicker against your tptk or two pair or something. Its just a matter of time until they double you up.
