Hot Cold Hand Guide for Newbie Player

[skirtus]

My friend wants to start playing the 10+1 SnG's at Party. He has a good job so bankroll wont be a problem. I sent him some good threads like Aleo's guide to beating the 10+1 SnG's. I also wanted to put some info together on hot and cold hands. This was very useful for me in short stack and bubble play. Here's what I developed so far. I based my decisions for stealing blinds on these hot-cold guides and stack size of opponents in blinds and still to act. Anyone see any serious flaws in my friend using this guide until he gets his feet wet and can start posting here.

If your stack falls below 10x BB during the SnG resort to this strategy.

Group 1: Any K, Any 2 Cards 10+ (ie J10o, K10o)
Group 2: 22-33, Axs, Kxs, Qxs, J6s-J9s, T7s-Q9s,
98s-JTs, Axo, Kxo, Q5o-QJo, J8o-J10o, T9o
Group 3: 44-66, Axs, K9s-KQs, QJs, A4o-AJo, KTo-KQo
Group 4: 66-TT, ATo-AQo, A9s-AJs
Group 5: AKo, AQs, TT-JJ
Group 6: QQ
Group 7: AA-KK

STACK SIZE 5 - 10 x BB

#limpers + 1 + # people to act = Group Ranking

If there is a raise in front of you go all-in with Groups 5-7.

STACK SIZE #limpers + 0 + # people to act = Group Ranking

If there is a raise in front of you go all-in with Groups 4-7.



#limpers = number of people who have limped in not including the blinds.

#people to act = # of players still to act including the blinds.

I'm interested in this, but don't understand how it works. I've read it several times. Can you give an example of how it might be applied in a real-game situation?

I hope the fact that AKs is missing doesn't cause your friend to fold 'em.

I would consider not listing AKs as a serious flaw.

This is suppose to be a general guide for when to push all-in when you are short stacked. The guide is based on your hand, the number of limpers, and the number of players yet to act. The hand rankings are based on hot/cold hand rankings.
