Sit n Go 's Which to play?

[Hawk_1MG]

I'm just starting out and I'm having a blast. I've already realized that play money isn't going to help me get better. People tend to not play realistically when they have nothing to lose. So at UB, what would be a good tourny for me to play. I've been playing the $5 ones, but I still feel that the players take too many stupid risks because it's only $5.

I hope this makes sense. I obviously don't want to jump to $100 games, but where will I typically find more realistic play?

Thanks,

I think around the $30+ level, the play starts to get a little better.

I agree-$10 is stil pretty weak, $30 is better play. $50 really isnt any better than $30.

I just hit the $5 sit n go's at UB usually bcos although the play is still not 'good' per se, u can quite easily clean up if u use ur brain. I sit tight and hover around the $1,000 level until we are down to about 5 players. This is not hard and can take as little as 15mins in my experience. After that, I change gear and usually run things to the end. Doesn't always work but it is a little cash cow for me right now

I'm gonna step up to larger games once I build my bankroll - I only deposited $25 so I'm gonna make it $100+ then start playing a bit more seriously. Best effort so far was putting TWO people out on the very first hand with pocket ladies. I went on to win and never lost a pot I was in pretty much 8)

I usually play S&G at pokerstars but have played a few at UB lately. Biggest diff between the 2 that I see is that the S&G at UB usually has 3-5 people out within 15 minutes and I don't see as many people playing crap hands and getting saved by the river as at PokerStars. Pokerstars does have more of a selection of S&G games to choose from and 9 players vs the usual 10 at UB.
