Essential STT tools?

[aLOWdAkING]

New to this forum, sorry if this has been posted over and over again.

Starting to play SNGs seriously and have done pretty well so far. I know that the cash game pros use PAHUD when they play, but what about the serious STT players? What tools do they use always and frequently during their play?

Thanks!

I don't think many SNG pros use HUDs, but I could be wrong. I've just started to use MTH which is a nice little tool.

I keep hearing about SNGPT. Is that really helpful?

[Femto]

Most definitely, but not during play. It's something you use to study bubble play and push/fold scenarios. Definitely worth the money if your pushbotting strategy isnt already perfect.

Ok, I am a tool junkie. I have bought all the tools. Here is what you need:

Poker Tracker ( add a postresql database)
SNGPT
HOH 1&2
2 monitors capable of 1600x1200 and a dual display video card setup.

If you are prone to RSI like me, you need:

Evoluent vertical mouse
2 2001fp lcds
neoflex lcd arms
height adjustable desk
MTH
Joystick
Keyboard with numberpad
Fully adjustable chair

You don't need:
Pokeroffice
SNG tracker
That super excel spreadsheet

If you play higher than the $22's, you need PAHUD. Otherwise, you don't.

You may want to plan for a different lcd setup, keeping in mind that Party will likely allow 12 tabling very shortly with the new beta.

Thanks! How do I add a postresql database and what does it do??

[swiftrhett]

It makes poker tracker run faster. I still can't believe how stupid slow it is. You will really want poker tracker to run faster after your first 1k sngs.

Since you are starting now. Be organized. Save all of your hand history files. Import them all to PT.

looking through my list of poker crap: pokerstove is cool when you really want to know what the odds were. I have not found a worthwhile graphing utility.

Well worth the price. I think this is an essential tool for beginners. It has helped me out a lot.
