I've had decent successs at low stakes Sngs

Since FT/PS shut down I havent played online at all...

Just recently deposited @ lock

Just trying to get a feel on how I should jump back into playing from the US?

Ive been staked in the past and dont really feel like staking is great option for me

Dont have a rakeback on Lock... VIP doesnt really work well until I can play higher.

I can beat low stakes cash... 6max and full ring... and I can beat low stakes sngs no problem

Best option for me as a US player on lock with no rakeback playing between micros and low?

Sorta not sure which direction to go.. I'm doing pretty much all of them at the moment.

Torn between the laws and deposit/withdraw problems, the options to play cash or sngs (or mtts I can do those too), or trying for a stake or to just grind it out.

Currently my budget allows deposits into my bankroll every month of about $200 and I have about 2 hours a night on workdays and 5 hours a day on weekends.

What do you suggest?

All opinions appreciated.

Thanks!

btw thread is meant to be geared toward coaching advice and what sorta person i should turn to for direction not a staking thread.

thanks

the $200 dep includes training and coaching and i currently subscribe to floattheturn

monthly 200 on poker be it deposits or expenses

try to figure out what your best at or what you enjoy most? Lock is softer than merge from what I've seen but winner poker just added black chip and there might be rakeback options out there for that network. I was in a similar boat but moved out of the states, mostly for poker.

OP,

Email support and demand Rake back, they will give it to you unless you have another RB account on Revolution Network.

If you're going to be playing low stakes for awhile, play on Winning Network, Bovada or Merge Network. They cash their players out much faster than Lock does, and at the lower levels there's enough action for you on any network.

27% on Winning and 35% on Merge is rb, Revolution is 36%, but if you're waiting months for cashouts (I see some people waiting since October for Western Unions right now on Lock, whereas the other 3 networks are sending checks in ~2 week timeframes right now give or take), you'll be happy giving up $5-20 per month for extra safety and reliability with your money.

Software is superior on those three networks too.

anyone have any good advice on how to run a mtt from begginning to the end?

There may not be enough SNGs on US sites, so may be better to play MTTs or cash.

I def don't feel there is enough SNG volume to make grinding those worthwhile, especially if you don't have rakeback. The most i've been able to get going at 1 time is 4 and those 4 are very staggered in start times.
