Phil Gordon SNG strategy, part deux.

Here's Phil Gordon's strategy for late in SNGs. (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/poker/columns/story?columnist=gordon_phil&id=2250994) Again, nothing groundbreaking, but good to read his perspective.

Thank you, nice text!

I hate his advice, and I'm sure most here will agree with me, of miniraising during the bubble. Talk about asking the BB to resteal.

I disagree that you have to go all in (if you are short-stacked) no matter what flop. I want at least overcards or a pair.

I might be wrong.

your wrong. You push no matter what. Even if a Ace hits I push. As scary as an Ace may seem. Alot of times they might have something liek KQ or 88 and an Ace might scare them. Really your just too desperate at that point. And by the time you call PF your now even more shortstacked and have to push.

You are wrong. If you're left with a stack of 1-3 BB's, you aren't going to have any FE left anyway, and are likely to be eliminated next time the blinds come around. You take the chance that he didn't hit the flop, making it a tough call for him. The purpose of the stop n go isn't to win with the best cards, it's to win with worse cards.
