Re: SNGs - win rate & profit
I totally missed the other thread, and just read all of it, and it opened my eyes -- a lot.

I'm a limit player (4/8 to 20/40), but limit games are drying up, so I'm playing more NL.
I was averaging just under 1.5 big bets per hour in my regular 10/20 game.
But, I have no idea what my...

I folded.
The pot was laying me almost 10 to 1. My gutshot straight is 11 to 1 against, and my overcard outs are 7 to 1. Given just that, I had a clear call. But, I figured that I had only 2...

What the books say vs. what\'s really out there
Most of what I've read from Sklansky & Malmuth and the rest assumes that low-limit games are populated by players who are weak-tight, or loose-passive.
