(haha edit - ok I played it KIND OF like a party SNG, happy bigwig? :-P jk man)
So tonight I took a stab at a Stars 10 + 1 MTT and decided I would adopt the same play style as a Party SNG... since this MTT had 10-minute, fast rising blinds.
I did a LOT of pushing in the CO, button and SB.
I was rarely called, especially around the bubble.
When I was called the hands I was pushing were decent enough to suckout.
I went on to get heads up in the tournament, chop the pot 50/50 and then went on to win anyways. - A cool 2.1 grand thanks to the deal - this will about double ( a little under double) my SNG bankroll, which is really great
The Party "all in moran" strategy really worked very well for me in late position.
At one point my 75 k stack with AQ ran into a 50 k stack with 88 (he min-raised, i came over the top)
88 held and I was down to 25 k, next hand I was in the CO.
I then got good stealing hands the next FOUR hands in a row, a7, k9, QJ and then AK (obviously a great stealing hand) and pushed 4 times in a row.
I nearly doubled up doing that and sprung myself right back up near to where I was before.
I think these "turbo tournaments" could turn out to be very +EV for a talented Party "all in moran" player.
Just my 2 cents (and some bragging at my first big MTT cash)...
