sng's

The only downside to the sng's nowadays is they are mostly turbo variations of the game. Not necessarily a bad thing but your game play is definitely different when playn a sng versus a mtt tourney. Once you have a feel for the table and the playn style of those around you then that's all you need. Good luck on those felts.

play tight early on! That is key esp in turbo sngs.....don't bust early on and then start playing after about 3 levels

Agreed on the need to be patient, but don't sleepwalk through the early levels.

yeah i prefer turbos my self. i def. have learned that tight is right in the early stages. that's something i didn't do when i first started out playing.

Come n get it ;) I'm just chillin over here sng don champ of Po hands down..Anyone come at me Plz..Merry Christmas

i personally try to avoid all ins when at all possible(negreanu style) but seems the agressor tends to get the favor. play at bcp and last 2 or 3 knockouts ive made clear donk all in calls w/ weak As and theyve had 3/5 3/4 and the likes and won w/ bottom pair. and on the flip when ive placed and had chip lead at points was pushin w weak and catchin

putting someone also all in for portion always beter than calling yourself allin...

I kinda agree with this. You need to be able to act fast but then also pick your spots.

Sit and gos are a completely different game. Such a great thread! good job!

I see what you're playing but in a mtt sng that is also turbo, you just can't wait around that long - the blinds increase every 5 min (most clients), and so in about 20 minutes, you're already sitting at about 10 BBs or less
