I have played about 40 SNGs at Party. As soon as I get in the money I pretty much stack in or fold, and I do so quite liberally. When I get heads up, I stack in pretty much every hand, pretty much hoping to grind out a win or get it over with quickly. I know this is wrong, but I dont know how wrong and how much to tighten up. Any suggestions?

It's actually not all that wrong . . . ITM aggression is the better part of valor. You just need to get a grasp of what kinds of hands your opponents will call with and adjust accordingly. Somewhere there is a link (in the FAQ?) to a list of how each hand does against random hands. Study this and you can make adjustments accordingly. I use this list and I win 2/3 of the time it gets heads-up.

Wow, that's really good! What's your sample size? Do you usually come into heads-up with a chip lead?

I think this has been discussed but you are not going to be called by a random hand so what good is it to know how good a hand is against random hands. For example A3 might be good against a random hand but against hands that people call with it is probably dominated frequently.

My sample size is 254 tournaments since I've been using AM's sheet that tracks that kind of stuff. I would guess that I am the chip leader a little less than half the time once it gets heads-up.
