Never been on these tables and never likely to so personally I can't comment, just thought I would mention.
Think I can see the benefits for hobby type players like myself to make a quid or 2 here and there but all that stat/figure watching would take the fun out it for me. In my 2 year playing I find that anytime I try to knuckle down and take it serious it wastes it for me, in turn I lose patience and blow my stack. I'm giving up cash, for good this time, honest, and going back to MTT's which is the very place I've had all my poker success. My whole mentality changes when I play cash and if I'm honest I'm never relaxed and having fun, MTT I pay my money, relax and enjoy the thrill of the ride. Each to their own though of course.
Alex what's your views on the people who play the game "properly"? Don't you think that the majority of them would be as well having their cards showing?

Themole is a Cash player, and is not amazing at mtts from what I have seen. Knowing how to play cash to a very high level will not particularly make one a good SNG player.
SNGPT is not a tracker - it's a decision maker app (ICM Calculator). It tells you when to push (or call) given your opponents range. Try it - there's a free demo. Run thru the tutorial and OPEN YOUR EYES to how real sng players win. Run a few of your hh's thru it and you will be able to hone your game and see when you had +ev to shove etc.
SNGs are a different breed of poker, and as such are not really poker at all.
MTT's for the win obviously - and Cash is king (don't give it up b.t.w, get moleface to give you some lessons!)
anyway GL on the tables squire
