180 Player SNG Tournaments started at Poker Stars – however many other sites are now running them including the fastest growing internet poker site Full Tilt Poker. (Click to enlarge picture.)

Full Tilt Poker 180’s fill the lower buy-in gap left by the withdrawal of the Poker Stars $10+1 20 table SNGS and also provide a new $2 level. What is more the blinds at Full Tilt go up in smaller increments (though more often) meaning there are no major ‘jumps’ between the levels which can adversely affect your play.

At the time of writing there are 3 levels of 180 person Sit & Go at Full Tilt. These are $8+80c, $2+20c and 20 Full Tilt Points. The points freeroll is actually a satellite to the 3,500 point ‘Sunday Brawl’ Satellite tournament.

The blind levels and prize pool details for both the $8.80c and $2+20c 180 SNGs at FTP are detailed below – for strategy you can see our original articles on 180 SNG Strategy and 180 SNG Final Table Strategy.
