    I sometimes watch Beanmo play on FT in the evenings & one player I see a lot at FT's $119's is Whitesnake1. From what I've seen he's a very solid SNG player from Finland? Anyone know who this is? I'm just curious as he seems very under the radar.

    He is a sng player from Finland.

    Me and him both started out as SNG Players on Bodog. I used to play against him all the time at the 55's. At the time, neither one of us was very good, but we were better than the other bodog players and did very well.

    We both moved over to tilt, me before him i think. For about a year and a half, I have had to face both him and beanmo on a pretty regular basis. While both are great players, i think their one weakness is that they multitable pretty heavily so another regular playing slightly less tables can have a small edge on them that they wouldn't normally enjoy if they played less tables.

    Some players are content with the life of an SNG grinder. You can set your own hours and once you get good at SNG's you can pretty much play them with your eyes closed. Whitesnake and Beanmo seem to be content with the sng grind and have gotten quite good at it...although i do see whitesnake dabble in mtts from time to time.

    Even tho roi's have gone down in sng's last couple years, they can still be decently profitable to guys who can up volume. I got tired of the grind and moved on to the MTT grind, because the ability to hit a life changing score doesn't exist in sngs, but I still play them from time to time as a BR builder..usually to see one of those two there.

    Thanks for the info. I'm a SNG player at Bodog & recently transitioned to UB as Bodog's SNG traffic has gotten abysmal. I noticed what you said about multi tabling I usually see him at around 10-12 tables. Two nights ago he was on only 4 & moneyed in all 4. Seeing the stakes he plays at that must bee pretty good income. Thanks again I was just curious as to who he was etc.
