I've decided to switch from playing 50/1 HE to playing 5+1 and 10+1 Limit Hold'em SNGs. So far I have been doing well having won the majority of those that I played.
So I am asking people much smarter than I ( That means you !! ) for your best advice.
My basic strategy is to play very tight and cheap in the early rounds And essentailly waiting for it to get down to 5/6 people at which point I open up and start getting agressive. These seems to work.
I make it a point to avoid trouble flops untill the last third of the tourney.
Once it gets heads up, I pound pound pound, which generally gets the cash.
Things I've noticed
# People play very loose in the early part of the SNG when the blinds are low. Is it good idea to try and build a stack?
# Lots of people can't play short handed or heads up. Any advice on this?
# Trying to keep things cheap as possible before the flop seems to be a good idea, since then if the flop doesn't fit, you didn't waste much money on preflop speculation.
# How should you play when there has been
# A raise open,
# A Limp and a raise
# A raise open and 1 cold caller.
# How to improve my post flop play, so I can play more hands.
So I looked in the 2+2 archives and have seen very few articles about limit SNGs. I think the players in these SNG's are softer than in NL, and limit is just easier.
I own HEFAP and Super System, are there other books I should get?
