What is good ITM strategy?

[Dr_Jeckyl_00]

I seem to get more 3rds than 1st and 2nds. Usually b/c I often call with any ace (bellow is an example).

Is there standard strategy for effective ITM play?

do more raising when first in pot

do less calling/raising when someone else already limped/bet into the pot

Fold every hand. You can't lose what you don't put in the middle.

What ranges of hands do you raise with vs call with?

[Nicholasp27]

depends on variables:

a) blinds
b) chip stacks
c) positioning
d) opps' calling/pushing ranges
e) your cards

i'd recommend www.sitngo-analyzer.com (http://www.sitngo-analyzer.com) to get eastbay's sngpt ICM program...u can then analyze situations and figure out what ranges u can push/call with in different scenarios
