sng's

[MsPokerVerse]

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

[EddieTorr]

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.

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

[bstpkr421]

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

i think it is important to try and get over the average early on especially in turbos for example in the bcp turbo sngs i have been playing u start with 1500 and i make a point to try and steal the blinds and get up to at least 2k in the first two orbits that way u are able to sit back and wait for ur hand. the 1 hand per hour rule really doesnt work in the bcp sng format.

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!

[HopsBar28]

Them are the ones i like playing, you got time to sit back and wait on a good hand before getting involved with the donkeys

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
