Hi guys,
I play on fulltilt and some on stars. I feel like a competent player who understands ICM and has ability to be a winning player. I understand that the 1.20 game has a high percentage of rake. I have resently cashed out a few hundred dollars and my current bankroll cannot with stand games at a much higher level. I was curious to know about the rake at 2.25 9man sitngoes. I was also curious about whether to mix in some multi table sitngoes or wstrictly multi 9 mans.
Thank you for your answers/opinions in advance.

It's really what you're comfortable with. If you aren't very good at the 18 mans or some bigger tournaments and are really focused on building a bankroll I'd just stick to what you know how to play best.
And yes definitely avoid the 1.20 sng's and go with the 2.25's until you can play the 6.50's.

Not sure what this thread is for, that isn't covered in the FAQs, but anyway...
Yes, the rake percentage at 2.25s is higher than at 6.50s but lower than at 1.20s. What of it? It's pretty standard for sites to rake the lowest buyins at the higest percentage, and slowly decrease as the buy in goes up.
If you want to mix in some MTT SNGs then go for it if it's within a sensible brm strategy. Most people would say it's good to get an idea for several types of game rather than pigeonholing yourself into just one game format. You will learn lessons that will translate across into the other games you play.
Having the ability to be a winning player doesn't always translate to actually being a winning player, you'll need to work at your game as you play. Discipline is probably one of the most important traits you can have.

Good luck.
