How to beat the $5 + $1 Party SNGs
So, I settle down into my "imcastleman memorial" $5 SNG seat to blow off some steam after an 0 for 8 session, and I start reviewing my strategy in my head:
"push every hand." No problem. First hand 5-2off, I push and win the blinds. Next hand 4-9, push and win the blinds. Next hand pocket Queens (cool), push and I get two callers: A-4 and K-9. Wow, nice call dudes. I tripled up and suddenly I got an idea... I only had to open-push twice before these monkeys decided it was party time and any big card would do. OK, new strategy: Wait for a top... I don't know... 25% hand and push then. Next hand I fold and the guy next to me pushes and gets called in two places. The hands are: 2-2, 3-3, and K-Js. It was as if I had Ebola virus and my first push was a sneeze. Everybody caught it and their eyes started bleeding 2 minutes later. I switched to my $5 "A" game and won pretty easily. Unfortunately, not until level 4, so no record. But I had a new plan, so I set up 8 $5 tables with the following strategy: Open push until I double up and then switch to A-game and watch the fireworks. Results: 9 SNGs 7 ITM (77.8%) 6 firsts 1 second 2 tenths ROI 204% $12.33 per tourney $197 per hour eight-tabling(they only take 30 minutes or less) I'm thinking about quitting my job to do this full time. I understand that 204% ROI is unsustainable, but even if I could only make half of that I'd be pulling in $100 an hour. Plus, I find that better players are much easier to beat... so when I move up to the $11's there's a pretty good chance I could be looking at a quadruple-digit ROI. ...and I haven't even figured in rake-back yet.

While the players are much, much tougher at the 10s, the rake is cheaper. I don't see any reason you shouldn't carry an roi around 210%-215%

Re: How to beat the $5 + $1 Party SNGs
Irie, this is the funniest [censored] ever. When you said you open-pushed on the 8, does this mean with "top 25% hands" or just a few times with junk, to get them juiced up?

Re: How to beat the $5 + $1 Party SNGs
Irieguy, you never seem to be short of creativity. Very nice plan. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
The only small question I have is that you all in everyhand before double up or knock out and you only knock out 2 out of 9 tourney. Good luck!
