SitNGoGrinders Review

sitngogrinders
The aim of SitNGo Grinders is to cover all the aspects of grinding an income from sit n go's. From the strategies demonstrated in the videos by some of the best players online, and articles detailing a wide range of issues, sng grinders try to cover as many types of sit n go's as possible rather than just standard 9 man SNG's. They have also recruited trainers specializing in each field so that you not only watch the videos of high stakes players but see how the best players at the lower buy in's achieve their results as well.Please enjoy our SNG grinders review.

Full Table SNGs

Pro: DarinVG, azntracker, fultip777

Notes:
Darin comes in as a heavyweight when it comes to SNG play and is as good a player as any in the high stakes SNG's. He brings his wealth of knowledge to this site and does a very impressive job with it. His videos' range in buy'ins from $50 up to $225 and currently all are at PokerStars where he is a SuperNova Elite player. His focus is moreso on reads than anything else. One very interesting and different approach to videos is on the replayer when he is not playing a hand, he will discuss the hand from the perspective of the other players. What hands would you play from that position with the type of bet made, etc. In short a very good analysis of hand by hand play and hand reading. Not many other series cover hand readings but his analysis and breakdown could very easily constitute a crash course on hand reading. Plans on bringing live play video's like his Icons videos which focus on using HEM stats etc are in the works and due shortly. Surely his vids are the cream of the crop in this site and not to be missed. Andrew "azntracker" Li's vids range from $100 up to $1,000, thus making him the instructor with highest SNG limit's. His replayer vids feature him playing against the highest quality opponents therefore you get a view into how to play the extreme end of SNG go play. Bubble play against the cream of the crop in SNG players will really get you to see how the pro's at the high stakes grind out their games. Very good analysis from yet another SuperNova Elite player. The full ring category is rounded up by something rare even in SNG specialty sites which is NON Turbo SNG vids, which Kelsey "fultip777" Hendricks produces. A Supernova from PokerStars he delves into the differences in play between Turbo & NON Turbo SNG's. His buy in's range from $55 to $215 and does a very adept job in this category. Overall the full ring category is endowed with some of the games best heavyweights and is as good or better than any other sites out there.

Multi Table SNGs

Pro: tigerbalm

Notes:
Kurt "tigerbalm" Stein handles low to mid buy in multi table SNG's that range from $15 to $60. He discusses the differences in play between the 18 and 45 man sngs and between the buyin's themselves. Hand selection along with middle game play emphasis in these is excellent.

Rating:

6 max SNGs

Pro: sizzlinbetta, dombomain33

Notes:
The 6 man SNG's currently has 2 instructors who happen to be PokerStars SuperNova's as well. in Stephen "sizzlinbetta" Reynolds & Dom "dombomain33" Zito. Zito ranked 2nd in Sharkscope 6 man Leaderboard in total profit and wastes no time in showing how he got there. His buyin's range from $36 to $300 and focuses on specifics of 6 man play with some very interesting touches on game selection which is proving to be ever more important. Truly something that has not been covered much in sites and very nicely done. Sizzlinbetta's video's range in buy ins from $11 up to $119+. He tends to focus quite a bit on not just pre flop play but post flop play which in 6 man games, is where playing a wider hand selection is quite important. He also throws in an occasional 9 max along with his 6 max vids in real time play.

Rating:

Heads Up SNGs

Notes:
Craig "gosox83" Daniels comes to the site armed with a Master's in Mathematics and puts that knowledge to use in the heads up department. His video's feature buy in's ranging from $5 up to $55. He discusses playing as a shortstack and the importance of position in HU play. He delves into discusses of the SAGE strategy in HU play in more than one video and does a superb job in this. Very good teacher and I'm sure some of this is a carry over from his job as a mathematics teacher dealing in probability & statistics. As the site's newest instructors he is a welcome addition and a very strong one in the HU department.

Weaknesses

The sites main weakness will not be one for long as it's simply it's small catalogue of video's. Seeing the site is new it's to be expected. Having said that the site is currently producing about 23 videos a month and looking to hit a video a day as they add more instructors. Some of the videos could have used a better mic (Sennheiser?) but they do not detract from the videos at all.

Strengths

The strength of SitNGo Grinders lies in the instructors abilities to breakdown analysis on a hand by hand replayer and by covering all the topics necessary for a winning player. From ICM to SAGE, to bubble play, and everything in between is covered, and covered well. At this stage this is just the tip of the iceberg for this site in that they are just starting. The site is also rounded out by articles and a forum. The articles are written by several of their instructors and cover everything from playing on the bubble, what to do when in the money, to the vital importance of ICM in sit n go play. The forum is open to discussion on the video's themselves, plus the instructors are all very involved in the discussions.

Expected Value: Is SitnGoGrinders worth it?

The name of the site is "Sit N Go GRINDERS" and you can't find any more of a grinder than a SuperNova or SuperNovaElite which this site has an abundance of them. These are instructors that sit on their chair and grind a living at almost strictly SNG play on a daily basis. Having them share the wealth of the knowledge in this ever increasing field is truly a gem in this niche of internet poker. Very much worth it's subscription price and then some, especially with the current low price. At this price it is a no brainer if you play sitngos. Add a copy of SNG Wizard to go along with the subscription, and you're set to grind out some sngs, profitably! Sitngogrinders has also been busy adding to their low stake videos hiring a few new trainers to add to the library.

Overall Rating: 9/10
