Re: Graduation??
[ QUOTE ]
I suspect that a large part of it is that SNGs are a fairly narrow form of poker. [/ QUOTE ] This lone statement sums it up. There is only so much you can discuss when it comes to play tight early and go maniac level 5 on. It does get very boring when the forum is dominated by should I call/push/fold this hand. Most of those decisions discussed here are borderline that will not have that big of impact on ROI anyway and not worth suffering through the debates. Fortunately there still is an occasional interesting post flop post here mixed amongst the clutter.

If you can beat the SnGs, you can certainly beat the ring games too [/ QUOTE ] That has been my experience as well. As you begin to approach these SNGs other than just push or fold (me just 3 weeks ago), you'll find the skills necessary to play cash games.

[/ QUOTE ] I think most people play/ed limit/nl ring before playing SNGs and their post flop play is already "mature", its just a matter of adjusting to the SNG format...getting its basic concepts down...but within those precepts, their preexisting "poker playing" abilities help them loads. It IS poker after all and many/most of the same laws apply. I used to play pool (gamble, compete etc...) then i went to Finland and my buddy showed me Snooker...it was foriegn to me, but I kicked his ass having never played...loose analogy but... my point is, I think better SNG players had a ring background bc they have a great foundation to work on...if you're learning the other way around there's a slower learning curve IMO.

It seems to me that this forum, for the most part, goes through a "turnover" of sorts every 4 months. [/ QUOTE ] That's funny. I've been here exactly 4 months now. I have found myself in more "discussions" the past 2 weeks with the newer forum members. Culminating today with a poster who was so adamant his position was right. When I finally did the math, his response was "that's way over my head, but..." I can see why posters are ready to move on. I feel lucky some of them had stuck around to teach me. Thanks. Scuba
