FACT vs. FICTION

skipperbob · #1 03-28-2005, 10:41 PM

Having been completely converted to the hyper-tight/early - push-fold/late SnG formula (mostly by virtue of being an in-person witness to the NewYear'sEve Deathstar) I now find myself, almost always, short-stacked on or near the bubble. That position renders it inevitable that I must risk all on one hand.....Although my $$$$ outcomes are better, I miss the good 'ol days of gumble-gumble-gumble [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
Any comments?

When you say push I take it as meaning going all-in before the flop? I hope that's not your only action. Why do that unless you are horible at post flop play?

Because it's very often the correct play, no matter how skilled you are postflop.

Maybe statistically if the blinds are huge. The benefit is small to the downside when only someone who beats you will call... Unless it's been observed that $5 SNG players routinely call all-in's with crap. Why not do a standard raise, not risk your entire stack, encourage someone to make a mistake and call, and decrease variance.
