Hey Johnny out of curiosity do you also apply the 1xPOT standard in shortstack tourneys like Party's? I recently switched from 1xPOT to .75xPOT, but I don't know how it's affecting my game yet.

yes, as long as you tighten up a little bit as your chips are worth much more in comparison to ub/stars. the main thing to focus on in any sng is the ratio of your stack:blinds. i usually raise 3x bb until either my stack gets less than 7bb (usually w/ 8-10 bb i will raise and then push on the flop unless conditions are unfavorable [multi way pot, bad flop, someone pushes into me when i miss]), or my opponents start to come over top of me. the thing to remember in the first few rounds of a sng is that with blinds of 15-30 it is not worth risking your entire stack for a chance at making the money unless you have a considerable edge...i.e. a premium hand or a very strong hand in lp.
hope that helps,
johnny
