Re: Top 3 basic SNG mistakes
 

My biggest mistake used to be playing too loosely pre-flop. I have tightened up considerably. Now my biggest leaks are:

1) Chasing.
2) Trying to bluff morons.
3) Overplaying draws.

Re: Top 3 basic SNG mistakes
 

1) Forgetting to bluff and be aggressive after a few losses.
2) Calling big value bets on the river when I know I'm beat.
3) Bluffing so often that my opponents realize that they can trap me anytime they want.

1. Assuming that my opponents have a functioning brain.
2. Not playing attention to stack sizes.
3. Fancy play syndrome.

1. Failing to make an effort to put opponent on a hand and acting on the basis of the strength of my hand alone.
2. Assuming that all my opponents are morons (actually I think that should be morans). Particularly levels 1-3.
3. Assuming that all my opponents are genii. Particularly levels 4-6.

Used to be:

1. Not being a luckbox.
2. Looking at my results
3. Chatting with TheUsher and Raptor on AIM while playing...

Are now:

1. Getting 'fancy'
2. Coming up with a solid plan for my hand and then deviating for no actual reason
3. Chatting with TheUsher and Raptor on AIM after playing...

I tend to call people dumb ass fish when I know they are 2+2ers and they play poorly or make an insane suckout on me.
