Default Re: Problems in SNG\'s

Gomez,

At least you're thinking about it. I suggest that you analyze your play at SNG's and adjust. At the $5 and $10 limits I have found that creating a super-tight image early and exploiting it later works very well. You're able to steal later, plus you actually catch a hand once in a while. I just finished a $20+$2 1-table SNG (my first) on UB and found that maybe this strategy will be less effective at this level. The reason is that my super-tightness was hardly noticeable because of the four other super-tights at the table (plus my flop % at the the 5/10 and 10/20 was a very loose 17%--usually I'm below 10%). I won it with a mixture of good play and good luck, raising the pot from the BB with AKo after only the SB called. Flop came 2 3 5 and my opponent bet the pot. I put him on a steal and raised all-in. He had me covered by ~1000 and called with J 5. he hit a J on the turn and I got ready to go to school, then the magic 4 hit the river and I pretty much coasted to the win. Good luck.
