What SNGs can I be supplementing my MTT schedule with? Do $12 180's (turbo?) run very often. I'm interested in knowing if the mid to high stakes 45s and 180s pop off regularly, or just at peak hours.
Yeah I agree the $215's are high for that br, but I think a properly selected one on the weekends might be worth an occasional shot, especially with WCOOP and I believe that $215 2 day mtt on tilt. The mini ftops ME is about as soft as mtt's come at that price range.
I haven't played the 180's in years, but they always seemed like a soft spot and still run frequently enough to do huge volume. I liked the 180's as they offer enough full table action to patiently pick your spots, and the players seem especially inept in the late stages of the tourney. Usually there is a lot of fold equity when it is down to short handed two tables to accumulate some chips.
The final table can be the same way, but my experience at lower stake tourneys is that people panic, don't realize how much play their stacks have remaining, don't consider ICM, and play too loosely considering the all or none preflop nature as stack/blind decreases.
I would play around with sharkscope leaderboards around the stakes you prefer, and see what people's roi's and profits are at the various sites and game formats. From that alone, you can get a good idea of where the soft spots are in sit and goes, ie who's making money and where.
You brought up another good point, the sit and goes are very dependent on the time of day. You will have that figure out the optimal playing time, but believe or not, some sit and goes are softer in the day, while other formats are much better to play at night.
