What is good winrate in sng18 ( from low limits to high)?
Maybe you can post your winrate?
Seems to me a good win rate is winning more than you can earn or win doing something else, and doing that steadily and consistently for the next forty years or so.
Note that normally you start out working for less than you eventually will be earning. That is, if you're salaried, your salary increases with experience and as you move up to a supervisory position, and if you start your own business, you gradually build up your clientele so that as your business grows or expands, you're put in a better position to gradually increase your earnings. That's the idea anyhow.
However, it's kind of tough to do that playing sng18s for a living.
You obviously must realize there are more losers than winners in sng18. My advice to you is to do something where you'll have a better chance of being a winner than a loser.
My own firm opinion is if you're smart enough to earn a decent living playing poker, then you're smart enough to probably earn more doing something else.
I don't want to discourage you from playing, but I advise you to play because you enjoy the game rather than to earn a living.
• Don't play for more than you can afford to lose.
• If you win, more power to you. There are a number of posters to this site who are overall winners.
• If you win a substantial amount (thousands of dollars), you might then consider poker as a career - but not until you're winning more that you'll be able to make in ten or twenty years doing something else.

And another question - from which level ( PStars ) sng are normaly playable without crazy allins all the time.
I don't know.

Now I am playing 3.28 and 1.xx$ sng - but there are a lot of all-ins.
P.S. It is normally to call all-in with 2pairs when flop+ turn = 9 J Q K
I had 10 K A X and opponent got fullhouse on river
I don't know what is normal. For me, whether to call or not would depend on
• (1) how much it cost to call compared to the size of the pot, and
• (2) how much I believed my opponent's bet meant he/she had a possible straight.
If Villain had two pairs, then from his perspective he had four outs, and he might also have had some other outs for a non-nut flush or a straight. We'll never know without knowing all his cards. If all he had was the four outs, then the other cards were all good for you. That would make you a nine or ten to one favorite, something like that. It's a bummer when you're a nine or ten to one favorite and then your opponent makes his draw on the river, but it more or less goes with the territory.
When that happens to me I just keep my mouth shut and keep playing. If someone is bucking the odds, although he can have some snitches of good luck, I figure I'll eventually prevail.
I don't want to embarrass you or put you down, but maybe this needs to be said: In the culture in which I was raised (and still live), it's considered bad taste to ask someone how much money he makes. That includes how much money he makes doing some particular thing, such as winning at poker.
