Where are the Softest Poker Games Online?

“I shouldn’t say this on a poker forum but sng 2.0 acr is about as free money as I’ve seen in poker in a long time. Not sure how long it’s going to last but right now as it’s new people r punting hard.” – 2+2

“These are absolute punt-fests. If the payout isn’t big, people just start shoving first hand. I love it.” – Reddit

“Hit a $1,575 jackpot in a $5.50 buy in this morning. And I won it for $409!” – 2+2

“There are regs not loading the SNG 2.0s due to the lack of HUDs, they just load normal sngs.” – 2+2

“I’m also finding the games to be very soft. After playing like 190 games I’m up over 40 buy-ins.” – 2+2

“Getting pre-Black Friday vibes with this game.” – 2+2

“Lot of rec players and hardly any regs or regs that don’t know how to play SNG. Wouldn’t call it 2006 Full Tilt / Partypoker SNG days, but it really is a breath of fresh air.” – 2+2

The Sit & Go 2.0 Format

SNG 2.0s are our pick for the softest poker games online right now in early 2017.

A mix of Jackpot Poker and 9 man SNGs, recreational players are flocking to them and early software problems have been ironed out since the launch of the fishy new game format in December.

A pre-game draw determines the no. of players that’ll finish in the money and the size of the random prizepool – with a shot at a mega jackpot, currently in excess of $70,000.

SNG 2.0s are available on all Winning Poker Network skins, play at Americas Cardroom and Black Chip.

Buy ins include $5.50, $11, $27, $55 and $109

Softest Poker Games Online?

SNG 2.0 ticks all the boxes for easy poker games:

• Progressive jackpot (brings in fish)
• Tournament format (softer than cash games)
• Fast structure, 5 min blinds 1,500 starting stack
• No HUDs (less sharks) only color coding / notes and PokerTracker supports downloading HHs for review
• Flat payout structure (beginner friendly)

Both rest of world and US poker players from 43 states are accepted – those not include New York, Louisiana, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Delaware, Nevada & Washington State.

Whereas in years past PartyPoker was considered to have the softest poker games online, the departure of USA players from all but a few poker sites has changed that.

Fishy Action

Forum posters are reporting fishy tables thanks to the lottery element.

“The games I’ve played on Black Chip have some players that would fail on FaceBook. A 4 card straight AND flush on the board and I shove with king high flush and get called by A/2 off suit, nowhere near the straight or flush. Four games so far and the play has been well beyond that of a fish.” – 2+2

“Not hard when donks are shoving all in with Bottom pair or middle pair and I have Top/Top or the absolute coconuts. Not to mention, the bubble play is ridiculously easy. Wish my live games where this easy.” – 2+2

Dead Money

Similar to Spin & Gos (available on WPN as ‘Jackpot SNGs’), players in SNG 2.0s tend to give up when the random prizepool is low, or there are only two payouts.

“People play beyond awful when its a 2 person payout from my small sample size observation. Actually they play pretty awful no matter what the payout from what ive seen.” – 2+2

“It’s as if they give up thinking they cant make the last two and just shove and play with garbage. Noticed a lot of players shutting down trying to grind 3bbs hoping they can limp in into the money and praying for pocket AAs. Lot of dead money waiting to scoop up.” – 2+2
