The Fast Approach
SNGs on Party Poker start at really low blinds... 10/15 is amazingly low. What I was wondering was to use a fast approach in beating the SNGs at an early level to gain an early chip lead. If it doesn't work, the only thing that happens is you lose a few 100 chips. This strategy only applies to the first level of SNGs at looser levels like to 10+1 buy in. Any comments would be helpful.
At lower levels, I've been experimenting with calling EVERY hand at Level 1 unless it absolutely abysmal. This will give you a loose image for the later levels wheere the blinds become significant. The best part is that if you catch with shitty cards, it'll be like a blindside slap in their faces. Unless the flop SLAPS you like a newborn baby with bad cards, you get out. Using this fast approach will:
A) Establish the loose-wild image which will be profitably when you shift gears to tight aggressive.
B) Potentially double or triple you up if you catch a miracle flop.
Let me know what you think!
