I think have good options to SNG and MTT (2$ - 5$) on PS and ACR 💸

Well, I'll probably give ACR a try then. If it seems like it's full of bots though I'm gonna abandon ship.

Low stakes grinders I don't mind so much. There's enough fish that overfolding is still profitable, as long as I get it in good and don't get out of line with marginal hands.

MTT's and Sit-N-Gos are extinct now? Why?

I do not like cash games or turbo format. I'd be okay with something like the old Rush Poker from Full Tilt though.

MTT's are alive & well. SNG's (Single table or Multitable sng's like the old 45's, 27mans, 180's) are pretty much ancient history. Any sng's you'll find will be Turbo or Hyper Turbo. You won't find 'regular' speed SNG's these days.

A.C.R. (&/or BlackChipPoker on Winning Network) is probably the busiest site you can play on. I hear good things about Global Poker too. (but I've never played on there myself).
Downlaod the ACR site and have a look at it for yourself.

All of the sites have a 'RUSH' style cash game (Stars > "Zoom", PP is FastForward, 888Poker is 'SNAP', ACR is 'Blitz', GGPoker is 'Rush & Cash', TitanPoker is 'SPEED')

Can MTT's still be overfolded to the money? Or is the competition too fierce now even at the low stakes?
 
Then I need to research what strategies still work at the low stakes I guess. My average VPIP/PFR in the past was 5/3.

For ACR it'll be MTT's and Blitz (tournament Blitz only, not cash games).

I'm not sure if they have tournament Blitz.
5/3 will not be a winning strategy. (surely you're kidding?). It'd need to be more like 20/15 (maybe 17/12)

I'm very tight. I generally don't go into the pot unless I have AK or a pair, and if I have those and I'm the first one in it's generally a raise and a C-bet. I used to use Tournament Indicator on Full Tilt and it had me profiled as a Rock. I don't get involved with marginal hands, even stuff like AJ or KQ I'll fold even without facing a raise. I am, by all definitions, a Nit.

The only exception is if I'm in position in a multi-way pot with a suited connector or a low pair and I'm getting 3-1+ odds to call. In those cases I'll take a flop and hope to snap someone off if the flop hits me big. I won't draw to the dummy end of a straight or a low flush, I'm only drawing if it's a damn near certainty that completing my draw is going to have the other guy dead.

I don't like going to the rail with marginal hands, I prefer to wait until I get it in good and let everyone else donk off their stacks in the mean time.

What's the recommended deposit method for ACR? I'm not comfortable opening a Bitcoin account. All forms of cryptocurrency to me are degenerate operations and I don't trust them for the sheer number of scammers that use them (specifically Refund Scammers from India).
