Re: Microlimit VS. NL sng
[ QUOTE ]
One drawback is that it is much more complicated to learn how to play well in the early stages of a SNG than it is to learn how to beat microlimit games. You can beat microlimit games with little more than preflop selection, and the idea of value-betting top pair or better. It's much more complicated to play well postflop in a NL setting when the pot is small in relation to the stacks. In fact, many people who post in the One Table Tournament forum seem to have given up on outplaying their opponents when the blinds are small.

Great point! While I still am an advocate of playing whatever you like best -- after all, if your only goal is to win the WSOP Main Event, you're going to have to learn to play early-round NLHE sooner or later -- that's a good argument for directing the beginner with no clear preference toward LHE.
Some of the play I see in Pacific $2 and $4 S&Gs is BAD, though -- so automatically value-betting top pair is probably a good start toward being profitable in these games too. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
